MLS side print outfield shirt for goalkeeper during match so they can bring him on

New York Red Bulls had to print an outfield shirt mid-match to sub a goalkeeper for a defender in Tuesday's US Open Cup defeat to Cincinnati.

With the Round of 16 clash heading to penalties after the two sides couldn't be separated at 1-1 after 120 minutes of football, Bulls manager Troy Lesesne decided to sub on regular first-team goalkeeper Carlos Coronel for defender Matthew Nocita.

And the club had to print an outfield shirt mid-match for the 26-year-old goalkeeper to wear for him to enter the field of play. The shot-stopper had a Coronel No1 shirt printed in the club shop and came on wearing the Bulls' famous red colours as opposed to his normal goalkeeper stripes.
