Charlotte FC News Release
Simply put, it wasn't Charlotte FC's night.
Their second-straight league road game ended in defeat, as The Crown fell on the road 4-1 to Orlando City SC.
Orlando City grabbed the lead in the 21st minute. 18-year-old midfielder Luis Otávio made the most of a clean opportunity and smashed his shot past Charlotte goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina's right shoulder.
Charlotte FC defender Morrison equalized for The Crown in the 33rd minute with an impressive header -- courtesy of a beautiful pass from a set piece via midfielder Pep Biel. Biel whipped the ball in, and Morrison used all of his 6-4 frame to out-leverage the Orlando defender attempting to contain him.
It marked the first MLS goal for the 21-year-old Ghanaian.
The hosts reclaimed the lead in the 49th minute from a left-footed strike by midfielder Martín Ojeda.
Ojeda secured a brace in the 61st minute when he slotted a free kick in right past Kahlina, despite the Croatian's best efforts.
Orlando City scored a fourth goal in the 87th minute.
The road trip continues for The Crown Saturday against Nashville SC, with kick-off scheduled for 8:30 pm EST.
