(Jacob Langston / Orlando Sentinel)JACKSONVILLE — It didn’t matter that Jacksonville plays in the North American Soccer League. And It didn’t matter the team is tied in last place in that second-tier league.
Orlando City coach Adrian Heath was not taking his opponent lightly in the fourth round U.S. Open Cup match Wednesday night at Jacksonville University.
The Lions fielded a strong team — mixed with veterans, young players, usual starters and benchwarmers — that came away with a 1-0 victory over the Armada.
