Orlando City B 1:2 Philadelphia Union II — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Edward Davis struck the opener and Philadelphia Union II came from behind to beat Orlando City B 2-1, setting up a trip to New England Revolution II on July 5th. The visitors were second best for much of the contest but showed the sharper edge in front of goal when it mattered most, snatching the points in a match that drifted late into stop-time drama.

The turning point arrived on 55 minutes when Willyam Ferreira slid a pass through for Edward Davis, who finished low into the corner to cancel out Orlando’s early pressure. Philadelphia Union II then took the lead through Theo Reed, who turned in Tyler Gladstone’s cross from the left on 81 minutes, before Bernardo Santos Rhein Goncalves pulled one back for the hosts deep into added time from Dylan Judelson’s assist. A flurry of yellow cards across both sides kept the game scrappy but never boiled over.

Orlando City B were the better side in the first half and deserved to be ahead, yet Philadelphia’s second-half composure made the difference. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Orlando City B before kick-off, but this result did not confirm that prediction; the live signals, however, correctly backed the visitors at 1.42 as the match unfolded. Philadelphia Union II now head to New England Revolution II on July 5th.
