Orlando City lost to Atlanta United 2-1 Friday night, making it 14 losses in the team’s last 16 games. The Lions are now in last place in the East and second to last in the league.
Here are my five takeaways from another tough loss.
Orlando City’s defensive woes are obvious and have been well documented, something that showed up again against Atlanta. A major problem for the Lions’ defense has been closing down the opposition at the top of the box. This was a frequent occurrence again, allowing Atlanta to take shots from 20 to 25 yards out.
