Orlando City paid for a late first-half mistake just before halftime but Nani’s cheeky backheel flick helped the Lions salvage a 1-1 draw against Sporting Kansas City at Children’s Mercy Park. Orlando (0W-0L-2D, 2 points) had two goals waved off for offside after video review and SKC (1-0-1, 4 points) had one called back as well. In the end, the result was probably a fair one but a poor exchange between Pedro Gallese and Antonio Carlos kept the Lions from taking all three points.
City is unbeaten in its last three against Sporting, winning the last two before tonight’s draw.
