Orlando City B (0-1-0, 0 points) kicked off its 2020 USL League One season tonight with a 2-0 loss to South Georgia Tormenta FC (1-0-2, 5 points) in Statesboro, GA. The hosts, who already had two games played under their belts, dominated for most of the game, comfortably leading the Young Lions in possession and shots.
Orlando City’s focus on development was seen in the starting lineup as eight of the starters were draft picks or academy products. Third- and fourth-round picks in the 2020 MLS SuperDraft, goalkeeper Austin Aviza and defender Nick O’Callaghan, started their first professional games.
