Orlando City B fell to Toronto FC II this afternoon 1-0 at Ontario Soccer Centre. Jordan Hamilton’s ninth-minute goal was the difference between the two sides.
Due to the senior team’s Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup game tonight against Miami FC, OCB (4-5-4, 16 points) displayed a weakened side for this afternoon affair. The team included four academy players (David Loera, Aaron Smith, Jordi Avila, and Allen Seals) and former Lion captain and current OCB assistant coach Rob Valentino on the bench. The early start time was because of Toronto FC II (2-7-5, 11 points) hosting its inaugural School Day Game where local school children were invited to learn about soccer and living a healthy lifestyle.
