Orlando City closes season with 5-2 home loss to Chicago Fire

ORLANDO, Fla. — Boos rang out through Exploria Stadium as the final whistle of the 2019 season blew on Sunday night. Fans had begun to trickle toward the exit early in the second half as Orlando City crumpled during a 5-2 blowout loss to Chicago.

After taking an early lead and peppering the goal with 10 on-frame shots, a series of injuries and defensive miscues left the Lions with a bitter taste in their mouths as they closed out a season full of improvement on a low note.

“We had goodness knows how many chances,” Lions coach James O’Connor said.
