Chance creation isn’t the problem. The Lions had their opportunities against Atlanta United on Sunday in front of an announced crowd of 68,152 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. But chances mean nothing if they’re not put into the back of the net.
In the first match of what promises to be a grueling week for Orlando City, the Lions couldn’t capitalize on the opportunities they created. The Lions, who were playing without star designated player Nani, were shut out for the second match in a row, falling 1-0 to rival Atlanta United.
"I mean, great credit to the guys for showing that level of fight, that level of heart to keep going and keep going and keep going," Orlando City coach James O'Connor said.
