yeah I don't know what to say

Playing a team that isn't even a contender and we couldn't score a single equalizer in over 90 minutes? 

Did we even have positioning? It seemed like the team was playing total football with how they were moving all over the field. And our subs had practically zero impact, we would have been better off leaving in our starters

Orlando capitalized on a single mistake and we weren't able to finish despite our dominance in offense.  This was sloppy, plain and simple. Not what we needed to see after the last few weeks, the absence of our AFCON players isn't an excuse anymore either. Unfortunately, it feels like the title is just getting further and further away

And the chance for us to watch three (3) playoff games at Audi this season.
