Orlando City vs. Memphis 901 FC, U.S. Open Cup: Final Score 3-1 as Kljestan’s Brace Leads Lions Into Fifth Round

In what was a bit of a plodding and ugly game at times, Orlando City blew a 1-0 lead in the second half and then scored twice to win 3-1 over Memphis 901 FC in U.S. Open Cup fourth round action at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex. Sacha Kljestan converted a first-half penalty and added the eventual game winner on a counter attack and defender Robin Jansson opened his Orlando account with the insurance goal.

The Lions, who improved to 12-8-2 all-time in U.S. Open Cup play and 4-4-2 since jumping to MLS, advance to the competition’s fifth round, with the drawing to be held on Thursday.
