“Juuuuuuuust a bit outside.” — Harry Doyle, Major League
Orlando City SC has three professional soccer teams and not one of them found the net this past weekend. While it was the first time the MLS side has been shut out in 2019, the Pride and OCB have made not scoring a habit this season.
The Pride were shut out 1-0 at Houston last night, marking the fourth time in five games the team has failed to score under Marc Skinner. Despite boasting known offensive threats like Alex Morgan (until Sunday) and Marta, the team’s lone goal of 2019 came off a set piece and required a spectacular overhead kick from defender Alanna Kennedy to put a goal on the scoreboard.
