SAINT PAUL, Minn. — Orlando City was on the verge of vaulting into sixth place above the MLS playoff cutline, but a late Minnesota United goal left the Lions with a disappointing 1-1 draw.
The Loons out-possessed and out-shot Orlando City all night, leaning into the rumbling advantage of its sold-out stadium to apply relentless pressure on the Lions’ backline.
But a breakaway by Nani in the 68th minute made a huge impact for the Lions. The midfielder broke into open space and streaked up the gut of the field, shielding the ball with his body as he entered the box.
