Dominant Defensive Performance Earns Lions Point in Colorado

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (August 20, 2016) – Orlando City SC (5-6-13, 28 points) put out a dominant defensive performance to earn a clean sheet and collect a point with a 0-0 draw against the second-place Colorado Rapids (11-3-10, 43 points) on Saturday evening at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The draw elevates the Lions above the red line and into the Eastern Conference playoff picture.

“For us it was an important game because in the three games since the new coaching staff took over we have allowed six goals and we’ve been harping on our team to be better defensively, but haven’t had the stats to back it up.
