Orlando City (7-1-2, 23 points) wanted revenge from the Richmond Kickers (6-2-1, 19 points) deriving out of their only loss in the first game of the season.

Orlando City on Wednesday night at the Citrus Bowl came out strong with a goal in the 4th minute by Lewis Neal assisted by Kevin Molino. Soon later in the 13th minute, Molino scored a goal assisted by Luke Boden. With the fast quick play up front by the Lions, Richmond was unable to come back during the rest of the game.

The Kickers did make a strong effort with Orlando City playing aggressive at the end resulting in Orlando goal leader, with 6 on the season, Max Griffin in a yellow card and many other penalties plus grabbing I noticed from on the field.

Both teams were close in shot attempts with Orlando leading 13-12 but Miguel Gallardo-Aparicio of Orlando City had a successful night with 4 saves compared to Ronnie Pascale of Richmond with only 1 save.
