While the first team’s 1-0 win over Orlando City made the most headlines this weekend, they weren’t the only one to secure a victory over the Lions this weekend. Atlanta United’s Special Olympics Unified team also beat Orlando City’s Unified Team in the first match of the day, a 3-2 victory on the Orlando City Atadium pitch with goals coming from Lyndsay Price, Paul Vestal, and Camille Flewellen.
Congrats to our Unified team
