The effort preserved Republic FC’s shutout early in the second half. After Birmingham advanced up the right flank, a quick combination of passes put the ball in a dangerous spot inside the six-yard box. A close-range shot at the far post – Legion’s only attempt on target for the match – was kept out by a quick reaction from Vitiello, who got his right hand on the ball to deny the chance.
This is Vitiello’s third nomination for the league’s weekly top stop. Earlier this season, he won the honor in consecutive weeks, winning the fan vote for Weeks four and five as Sacramento bested Memphis 901 FC on March 30 and Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC on April 6.
Fans can vote for Vitiello’s save through Friday, May 31 at 9:00 a.m. PT on USLChampionship.com.
