Orlando City dropped its third home match of the season on Sunday in a matinee game against the New York Red Bulls. Unlike the home losses to Cincinnati and LAFC, in which the Lions generally played quite well but just didn’t finish around the net, Sunday’s match was a poor overall performance and a deserved 3-0 loss.
City just never seemed to have its typical spark. New York occasionally pressed high but where the Lions had the most trouble was simply avoiding the visitors’ traps. Slow ball movement, poor passing, and bad decisions kept Orlando on the back foot all game long.
