Orlando City vs. Toronto FC: Final Score 4-0 as Lions Romp Over ... (The Mane Land)

Three different Lions scored in Orlando's biggest win of the 2022 MLS regular season.

Toronto finished with more possession in the end (55.9%-44.1%) as Orlando was content to stay organized once the Lions built their big lead. I think the way that he possessed the ball and he kept it for us and protected the ball when we needed it. Akindele scored anyway after the restart, powering a shot through Westberg off an Angulo assist in the 84th minute. Two minutes later, Angulo freed himself up on the left side at the top of the box and sent a soft shot to Westberg. Kara carried it into the box and fired a shot past Westberg with his left foot to make it 2-0 in the 22nd minute. A minute later, Insigne headed a shot on target but Gallese was able to catch it, although he needed treatment on his thigh after landing on one foot and tweaking something. Toronto had a good flurry in the 52nd minute. Federico Bernardeschi missed the target in the 35th minute after Carlos turned it over in his own end with a wayward pass that found Michael Bradley instead of a teammate. The Uruguayan cut inside and smashed a shot past Quentin Westberg to make it 1-0 in the ninth minute. A switch in play from Angulo was flicked deftly by Carlos, who was still forward from the corner kick. But a minute later, the Lions had the lead. The Reds (9-16-7, 34 points) were eliminated from playoff contention with the loss as three different Lions scored and Toronto chipped in an own goal.

FT: Orlando City SC 4-0 Toronto FC - Game thread, preview and ... (Waking The Red)

Following two straight defeats, Toronto FC's playoff fate could be officially sealed at Exploria Stadium if the Reds fail to beat the newly crowned US Open ...

It was a low-scoring affair the last time Toronto FC met Orlando City back in May. Orlando City come into Saturday’s contest sitting fifth in the Eastern Conference, but with nothing guaranteed yet. A spot in the postseason has seemed distant for weeks now, but the hope still lingered. Toronto will be without the services of defenders Chris Mavinga and Doneil Henry for the road game. No Hugo Mbongue in the matchday though, likely due to the fact that tomorrow is MLS NEXT Pro Decision Day for Toronto FC II. Jonathan Osorio is available off the bench after missing the Reds’ last four matches due to a head injury, while Quentin Westberg keeps his place between the sticks. Moreover, Bob Bradley’s men will have their sights set on recording a morale-boosting victory ahead of the international break. The Reds will surely be hungry for an overdue victory against their Eastern Conference rival following two draws and three defeats in those past five encounters. An emphatic finish from Ercan Kara doubles the lead for the Lions. 47’ - GOAL ORLANDO CITY. HT - Orlando City SC 2-0 Toronto FC. 35’ - Some neat link up play between Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi, but the No.

Orlando City started this game well. The Lions had three shots in the first nine minutes, with Wilder Cartagena flashing a shot wide from outside the box and ...

It was a well-taken goal from the substitute as he ran onto an excellent pass from Angulo, shaped his body and fired, into the side netting inside the far post. It was an excellent goal and a reminder of what the Austrian is capable of when teammates find some of the great runs he makes in the channels. That extra insurance goal really allowed Orlando to settle into a comfortable and controlling role in the match, sitting back and trying to pick TFC off on the counter as the Reds pressed forward in a game that was a must-win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Joao Moutinho put in a cross from the left hand side and Lukas McNaughton deflected the ball into his own net while trying to make the clearance. His chested pass to Angulo in the opening minutes was a thing of pure genius, and was more than worthy of a spectacular assist on what would have been a blistering volley had it not been deflected over the net. Orlando’s next shot found the back of the net as Antonio Carlos flicked a pass from Angulo to Facundo Torres, who cut inside on his left foot and fired a shot past Quentin Westberg.
