LOS ANGELES (July 7, 2018) – Orlando City SC (6-11-1, 19 points) fell 4-1 to 2018 expansion side Los Angeles FC (10-4-4, 34 points) on Saturday at Banc of California Stadium.
“I thought we played to some wonderful opportunities, when you look at the saves that their keeper made, when you look at the shots, the chance creation I thought that was really positive,” Lions head coach James O’Connor said. “Equally we gave them too many opportunities. It was a pretty open game, we didn’t intend it to be that way. They’ve obviously got tremendous quality and are playing with a lot of confidence so I think that when you look at it it became pretty evident that you’ve got one team that is full of confidence and one team that is really lacking confidence.
