Notable Matches
June 30, 2015 vs. Columbus Crew (U.S. Open Cup) - Orlando City advanced to the U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinals in their first season as an MLS club, defeating Columbus Crew 2-0 at the Citrus Bowl. Kaká, making his tournament debut, scored the opener in the 21st minute, before Carlos Rivas–who had a hat trick of penalty kicks in the opening game against Charleston Battery–doubled the lead in the 34th, putting the game on ice before halftime.
June 30, 2017 at Real Salt Lake - Will Johnson’s 17th minute goal was enough to get Orlando a much-needed three points at Rio Tinto Stadium this week in 2017. The goal came from chaos, as Kaká’s perfectly weighted free kick found the head of Jose Aja, but the Uruguayan’s header smashed against the bottom of the crossbar and into no man’s land. Johnson was there to clean it up.
