ST. PAUL, Minn. (Aug. 17, 2019) - Orlando City SC (9-11-7, 34 points) battled to a 1-1 draw against Minnesota United FC (12-8-6, 42 points) on Saturday night at Allianz Field. Nani scored his ninth goal of the season in the match, converting from the penalty spot in the 70th minute for the Lions. The Portuguese midfielder now sits tied with Tesho Akindele for the team lead in goals scored.
Head Coach James O’Connor:
“Obviously feels like a defeat and that happens when you concede so late on just a cheap goal. I think we defended resolutely, I think when you look at the commitment and the way the guys were defending, if they score like I said there after, from 25-yards out, it’d have been a quality goal there’s not too much you can do.
