Orlando City won their MLS play-off with New York City FC in an amazing penalty shootout that saw a red card, an illegal sub, and a defender in goal.

After a 1-1 draw in normal time, Pedro Gallese was shown a second yellow for moving off the line before saving Valentin Castellanos' penalty, with Gallese thinking he had won the match.

With the MLS still using 2019/20 IFAB laws, referee Allen Chapman did not enact the dispensation to warn a goalkeeper in a penalty shootout for an offence rather than book him.

Furthermore, 2020/21 laws will stipulate that players cannot carry cards into a penalty shootout, but on this occasion, the laws, or lack thereof, caused chaos.

Wow, you can always rely on penalty shoot-outs to deliver drama, but this was quite something else . Really, it's a relief that Orlando won in the end, after all of that.

I'm just relieved that this didn't happen to England at the World Cup .
