Orlando City needed to get something against the San Jose Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium. But what the Lions did not need to get was an ass kicking. They got one anyway as the Quakes (13-10-5, 44 points) scored three times in the first half en route to a 3-0 win over Orlando City (9-13-7, 34 points).
The Lions lost to San Jose for the first time ever and still have never won in the state of California in MLS play. It was the second straight loss for Orlando and both of those came without scoring a goal.
