Orlando City B came away with a 1-1 draw last Thursday night against the Bethlehem Steel, marking their 12th game unbeaten as they march towards the playoffs. It was a very tough and physical affair, with both teams battling hard to win the ball.
Throughout this game, Pierre Da Silva, who played on the left wing that night, was consistently trying to force his way into the game. The Steel’s staunch defense marked him close and handcuffed him throughout most of the first half, limiting his effectiveness on the match. Every time Da Silva would find an inkling of space, the visiting team would try and muscle him off the ball or have a second defender overplay him.
