Match report: Orlando City 1-3 Arsenal

Orlando City v Arsenal

WHAT HAPPENED

Second-half goals from Eddie Nketiah and Reiss Nelson gave us another win in a hard-fought pre-season friendly in Orlando.

Gabriel Martinelli had given us an early lead, but the hosts, cheered on by a vociferous crowd, struck back before half-time.

We eventually overpowered our MLS opponents though, to make it four wins out of four in the close season.

Due to a ferocious thunderstorm pre-match, the kick-off was delayed by an hour at Orlando City’s Exploria Stadium.

When play eventually got underway it didn’t take long for us to open the scoring.
