ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando City clearly took coach James O’Connor seriously when he said it was time to put points on the board.
Despite falling behind early, the Lions put together one of their best performances in recent memory, crushing FC Cincinnati 5-1 at home and ending their losing skid at three matches.
After giving up the first goal, the Lions managed to avoid going down 2-0 at home (it would have been the fifth time this season that happened) thanks to forward Tesho Akindele in the 37th minute. He took a one-touch pass from from midfielder Will Johnson and fired from the top of the penalty area to level the match with his third goal of the season.
