Danny Deakin’s stoppage-time penalty kick salvages draw for OCB
An unlikely hero emerged for Orlando City B in a midseason rematch with the USL Lions’ I-4 rivals.
Midfielder Danny Deakin, who entered the game in the 82nd minute, scored a stoppage-time penalty kick to equalize for OCB (5-6-7, 22 points) during a 1-1 draw with the Tampa Bay Rowdies (7-5-7, 28 points) in front of 1,504 fans Thursday night at Orlando City Stadium.
“I’m obviously proud of the players for the way they kept going. They didn’t give in,” OCB coach Anthony Pulis said.
