#DOOP #MLS #ORLvPHI
FULL TIME: Orlando City 2-4 Philadelphia Union. Lions generously fork over goals in the team's first-ever opening day loss. Pasalic with a brace on his debut. #ORLvPHI
6' of stoppage time. #ORLvPHI
FINAL: Orlando City fall in their home opener for the first time in their MLS era, losing to Philadelphia.
Marco Pašalić scores both goals, which is good.
A number of self-inflicted wounds in the back that led to goals, which is bad.
Lots to work on, lots of time to do so.
2-4 | #ORLvPHI
The 4-2 result isn't great, but two (arguably three) of the goals conceded by Orlando were individual mistakes. Plenty to be optimistic about if you're an Orlando fan, most notably Pašalić. #ORLvPHI
79' - GOAL! It's 4-2. Muriel smashed a shot off the crossbar on the corner, the rebound was hit off the left post by Pasalic. It came back to the Croatian and this time he found the net. Brace for the new guy. #ORLvPHI
77' - CHANCE! Great play by Freeman at the end line to set up Angulo who completely blows the shot. Lions get a corner as Blake may have gotten a touch but nothing doing on the set piece. #ORLvPHI
6 minutes of stoppage time
