ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando City lit a spark in its attack on Saturday night against FC Dallas, building off of scoring chances to secure a 2-0 win at home.
After an early goal, the Lions held onto their slim lead until the 95th minute of play. A clean combination of attacking misdirection crushed any chance of a Dallas equalizer. Nani took the ball up the left side and crossed it through to Tesho Akindele, who slipped the ball back to the middle of the box.
Sacha Kljestan flicked the ball back between his legs, sending it skipping into the box for Carlos Ascues to run through and rifle into the netting right in front of Orlando City’s supporters section.
