Orlando City enters the international break undefeated and untied after defeating the Philadelphia Union, 2-1, on Saturday night at the club’s brand new purple palace. It’s always nicer to talk about wins than losses (or draws) and so here we are to break down a thoroughly satisfying win over another Eastern Conference rival. Goals, passes, individual battles and our Man of the Match picks — we discussed it all. We also talked about the Orlando Pride’s emphatic 9-0 preseason-opening win over Stetson University and the start of the USL season.
Speaking of that, Orlando City B Head Coach Anthony Pulis stopped by to talk about Saturday’s upcoming I-4 Derby, the challenges of coaching a USL side made up of league players, MLS loanees, and deserving academy standouts.
