Orlando City dominated Atlanta United during a 4-1 win on Wednesday night, beating its rival at home for the first time in club history. Here are three things we learned from the match:
Rookie Daryl Dike scored his sixth goal and recorded his fourth assist against Atlanta. Both points came from technical, light-footed plays that highlight the rookie’s ability.
Most important, Dike was decisive in front of goal and provided an attacking spark the Lions have missed during the past few weeks. Orlando City averaged one goal per game during their four previous matches, a significant cooling off from the Lions’ hot attacking streak at the start of the season.
