The Orlando Pride fielded a lineup peppered with World Cup stars who helped them earn a 1-0 win over Sky Blue FC Saturday night at Exploria Stadium in front of the largest home crowd in more than two years.
Orlando deployed a more dominant attacking pace than it saw last week against Portland, beating Sky Blue in the possession battle and spending more time on the offensive end of the field. The team took 20 shots on the game, 10 more than Sky Blue. It was the first time the Pride outshot an opponent since the team's May matchup against the Portland Thorns.
