Oh. My. Word.
Orlando goalkeeper Pedro Gallese saves the final spot-kick to send them through to the Conference semifinals.
But the VAR spots that Gallese had come off his line. Retake ordered.
But Gallese had already been booked, and gets a second yellow!
Shootout back on!

This is incredible. Orlando have made a sub to bring goalkeeper Brian Rowe on to take part in the shootout.
But the officials have no idea if Orlando are allowed to do it.
Rowe has been to the goal, back to the bench, and now he's back to the goal!
What the hell is going on.

And now Rowe is back to the bench, outfield player Rodrigo Schlegel goes in goal.
New York City score. But Nani MISSES the winning penalty chance.

Orlando celebrate like they have won the game, but it's 5-5!
They have had to call the players back.
WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE!

I put that MLS penalty shootout on at 8pm. It finished at 8.22pm!
I presume that MLS did not:
a) enact the dispensation not to book a goalkeeper in a penalty shootout and
b) switch to the 2020-21 Laws as a calendar-year comp after coronavirus pause
Otherwise, Orlando keeper Pedro Gallese should not have been sent off in the penalty shootout.

Incredible situation.
You can only bring a sub keeper on during a shootout due to injury.
Yet the referees in this MLS playoff originally allowed Orlando to bring a sub keeper on after theirs was sent off.
Only to be told they got it wrong and EVENTUALLY send him back!

And let's not forget this was allowed to happen by the referee, his two assistants and the fourth official. I presume the VAR must have got involved in the end.
Pretty sure everyone lost their heads here!

Now confirmed:
MLS still using 2019-20 Laws and DIDN'T adopt the dispensation from the IFAB to warn a keeper for a first offence in a shootout.
Therefore, the ref had no choice but to show goalkeeper Pedro Gallesea second yellow and send him off.
Both teams told prematch.

Here is the crazy Orlando v New York City penalty shootout in its entirety.
It's 22 minutes long but as you will have seen from this thread, it was absolutely mental.
