The Orlando City Pro Academy is off to a great start in Brazil.
The U-15/16s defeated the U-17 India national team 1-0 at Atlético Paranaense’s world-class Estádio Atlético Paranaense this week in a four-team tournament with Paranaense and the U-17 Uruguay national team.
India jumped out to a quick start in the first half but Orlando City defended well. The Lions had a great chance in the 12th minute but couldn’t sneak the ball past India’s goalkeeper. City came up with another good opportunity three minutes later.
It didn’t take long into the second half for the Lions to take the lead over the Blue Tigers.
