Orlando City shifts attacking strategy under new coach James O’Connor

SANFORD, Fla. — There’s a different feel to Orlando City’s attack these days.

Under head coach James O’Connor, whose first match was against LAFC, the Lions have scored first in two of their past three matches in league play. During the 17 matches prior to O’Connor’s arrival, Orlando City scored the first goal twice.

They’ve ceded possession – Orlando City hasn’t had the majority of the possession in any of the three MLS matches O’Connor has coached – but, for the most part, have created chances on the counterattack.

A goal earned and definitely worth watching again.
