PawedCast Episode 5: Orlando City vs. NYCFC Recap, Houston Preview

The good news: Orlando City SC has never lost an MLS regular season match.

The bad news: Orlando City is still looking for its first MLS regular season win.

Your Lions showed great resiliency on Sunday to battle back for a 1-1 draw while down to 10 men against New York City FC. Kaká’s deflected free kick goal may have been fortunate, but it didn’t make up for a host of unlucky breaks throughout the match. It’s not a stretch to say that Orlando City was the better side for much of the 90 minutes, but that only counts when you finish chances and capture all three points.

Andrew Marcinko and I break down the historic match — the atmosphere, the referee decisions, the players and more. We also look ahead to Friday’s road game against the Houston Dynamo. Joining us to help us discuss it is Derek Stowers, staff writer for Dynamo Theory. Derek gives great insight into the Dynamo players, style of play and philosophy.
