On Sunday afternoon, Major League Soccer side Chicago Fire hosted Patrick Vieira’s New York City FC at the Toyota Park in a thrilling encounter that ended 4-3 in favour of the visitors.
One moment that particularly grabbed the attention of fans and pundits was the penalty kick awarded to the hosts in the second-half. As goalkeeper Josh Saunders was preparing to take the spot-kick, Italian legendary midfielder Andrea Pirlo raised his hand and pointed at the right-side of the goalpost to provide a hint on the direction the ball was heading to after reading David Accam’s body language.
Unfortunately, the 35-year-old goalkeeper chose to ignore Pirlo’s clue and dived to the left-hand side of the goalpost, consequently conceding the penalty.
But despite all that, the match ended 3-4 in favour of the visitors hence handing Patrick Vieira a flying start to his managerial career.
