Orlando City dropped its fourth straight in a 2-1 result to the New England Revolution on Saturday. Here’s what we learned from the match:
Orlando City captain Luis Nani has been an indomitable force for the Lions in his three season of MLS, but that consistency stops short at the penalty spot.
Nani missed his fifth MLS penalty, sending a would-be equalizer straight up the center of the goal and into the body of keeper Matt Turner.
The captain has made seven of his 12 attempted penalties, a 58% completion rate. A 2019 study by InStat found 76% to be the average penalty completion rate for professional men’s and women’s soccer players around the world.
