That was a fun one! Orlando City got a big performance when it needed one, putting a 4-0 beatdown on Toronto FC at Exploria Stadium to knock the Reds out of playoff contention. It was a great way to bounce back from a disappointing midweek performance and it will hopefully give the Lions a spark as Decision Day draws nearer. What follows are my five main takeaways from a rousing win on Saturday night.
Early Pressure Pays Off
Orlando City started this game well. The Lions had three shots in the first nine minutes, with Wilder Cartagena flashing a shot wide from outside the box and Ivan Angulo having a volleyed attempt blocked off target after an excellent chested pass from Ercan Kara.
