HIALEAH, Fla. – It wasn’t a league match, but Orlando City got its first win in a month.
And it was a much-needed win the club hopes will be a spark for future success after a four-game MLS losing streak.
The Lions opened their U.S. Open Cup run with a 3-0 victory over Miami United at Ted Hendricks Stadium Wednesday during a fourth-round match that got heated toward the end. A few brief scrums ended with players needing to be separated – by Orlando City midfielder PC – and a Miami United assistant coach was sent off in the 71st minute.
