Orlando City Begins Home Defense of USL PRO Title
Orlando City Soccer Club kicks off their first home game of the 2012 USL PRO Regular Season at the Orlando Citrus Bowl on Sunday with a match against Wilmington Hammerheads. The kickoff is set for 6:00 p.m and Orlando will be looking for a repeat of their opening day performance last weekend when they defeated Charlotte Eagles 2-0 in North Carolina.
Dennis Chin scored the first goal of the season as he gave the Lions an early third minute lead and Sean Kelley, playing in place of the suspended Miguel Gallardo, saved a penalty kick late in the first half to preserve the victory. Kevin Molino, assisted by Matt Luzunaris, then added a second goal to seal the victory just before the final whistle.
The 2-0 victory puts City back in a familiar spot at the top of the USL PRO table after Week 1, based on goal differential. Rival Charleston Battery is right behind Orlando on the strength of their 2-1 defeat of Richmond Kickers the same evening.
