ORLANDO, Fla. — Throughout the second half of Orlando City’s match against the New York Red Bulls Sunday, the ball seemed to fall everywhere except the back of the net for the Lions.
Shots bounced off the post, ricocheted off defenders, pinballed from the crossbar to the keeper’s heel and out of bounds. But despite firing off 18 shots and commanding over 60 percent of possession, Orlando City couldn’t find a finish against the Red Bulls.
After falling behind during a sluggish start, Orlando City rumbled into offensive rhythm but couldn’t overcome an early goal and lost 1-0.
