After winning the US Open Cup with Orlando City: Gallese's celebration with our flag.

Tremendous joy for him on his journey in the United States. Pedro Gallese became the champion of the US Open Cup last Wednesday, after Orlando City's victory against Sacramento Republic at Exploria Stadium. Although the match was filled with emotions, as the result was decided in the final minutes, there were also emotions in the dressing rooms.

Among celebrations and jokes in the locker rooms, there was a special action that the club's cameras captured, and it was Pedro Gallese's reaction with the Cup. The national goalkeeper decided to pose with the trophy next to him, but as if he was sleeping with it, both covered by the Peruvian flag.

This image was shared on Orlando City's official social media accounts, as well as through an Instagram story by the player. The institution's post reads "See you tomorrow, champions", a publication that generated hundreds of interactions from fans who, like Gallese, were happy for the title.

He has Alianza Lima in his heart

If in the dressing room he posed with the national flag, on the field he did it with the Alianza Lima jersey. That's how the goalkeeper of the Peruvian National Team - keep in mind that Juan Reynoso's first call-up will be this Friday - was seen celebrating with Orlando City fans.

'The Lions' had the support of their fans at Exploria Stadium, where they usually play at home, and they managed to tip the scales in the scoreline in the final stretch of the match. Facundo Torres scored a brace (75' and 80'), while Benji Michel sealed the story in injury time (96').

This has been Orlando City's first title in its history, and there was great emotion in the team, which was captained by Mauricio Pereyra, when lifting the trophy. On the other hand, 'The Lions' also secure their participation in the 2023 Concacaf Champions League.
