LOS ANGELES — It certainly wasn’t the result new Orlando City coach James O’Connor wanted in his debut.
There were flashes of what could be a strong Orlando City team sometime soon, but in the end, the Lions continued their slide.
Orlando City (6-11-1, 19 points) lost its ninth consecutive match, falling 4-1 to LAFC Saturday night in front of a sold-out announced crowd of 22,000 at Banc of California Stadium.
After his first match at the helm of Orlando City, O’Connor said the difference between the Lions and LAFC – at least Saturday night – was confidence.
