Orlando City B News Release
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Orlando City B (1-9-3, 6 points) fell 3-1 on Wednesday morning to the Richmond Kickers (8-5-2, 26 points) at Osceola County Stadium.
OCB started the game off strong by putting the ball in the back of the net in the eighth minute. The versatile outside back Moises Tablante dribbled past two Kickers defenders on the left side to find Brazilian midfielder Kenji Tanaka, who beat Kickers goalkeeper Akira Fitzgerald to score his second goal of the season. In the 18th minute, goalkeeper Austin Aviza performed a goal-stopping save, followed by another clearance in the box to keep the Kickers scoreless at the time.
In the 24th minute, the Kickers were awarded a penalty kick after the ball touched defender Daniel Rosario's hands in the box, who had to exit the match after being shown a red card. Aviza, who entered the match sitting at third place in USL League One with 42 saves, denied Matt Buldoc's penalty kick in the lower right corner to keep the Lions ahead in the game.
The Kickers equalized in the 36th minute after 24 year-old forward Mutaya Mwape attempted a left-footed shot from outside the box that found the upper corner of the Lions net. Richmond scored the eventual game-winner in the 51st minute after Stanley Alves netted a right-footed shot from the center of the box into the right corner. Oalex Anderson added another in the 64th minute for the Kickers to secure the win and their spot in the
League One playoffs.
Aviza now leads all of League One with 50 saves this season. The Lions return to Osceola County Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 24 to take on league leaders Greenville Triumph SC at 1 p.m. ET.
