The Lions absolutely crushed Brazilian Serie B side Esporte Clube Bahia last night at the Citrus Bowl, 6-1. After falling behind in the first minute, Orlando too control of the match and pulled level by halftime, despite squandering a number of good scoring chances.
After the break, despite looking a bit discombobulated for a spell, the Lions started scoring. And scoring. And scoring.
It was a feel-good win to send the team into next weekend's season opener against Real Salt Lake. The starters went the full 90 minutes, with the exception of Cristian Higuita (international duty) and Kevin Molino, who was subbed out after an hour.
