Last Time Against the Herons 

The Lions make the trip to South Florida looking to replicate their last meeting against the Herons, having taken a 2-0 shutout victory on April 9 at Osceola County Stadium. That match saw finishes from Jack Lynn and Favian Loyola, with the latter tallying an assist on the evening as well. Goalkeeper Javier Otero notched his first clean sheet of the campaign on the night, having to tally just two saves to keep Miami off the board.

Back-to-Jack

Orlando City B overcame a two-goal deficit over the weekend to earn a draw against visiting Atlanta United 2, with 2022 MLS SuperDraft selection Jack Lynn accounting for both finishes off the bench. Lynn found the back of the net with his first touch of the game in the 52nd before adding another less than 15 minutes later to level the two sides. Lynn now has 19 goals to his credit throughout his OCB tenure, with four assists to add.

Leading the Way

Midfielder Cristian Medina earned his third helper of the year this past weekend, tallying the assist on the Jack Lynn equalizer for the Lions. Medina’s three assists leads the Lions this campaign, with the Argentine having started the Lions’ last eight matches in midfield.

Continuing Contributions

Orlando City B forward Moises Tablante continued his contributions over the weekend, crossing in the ball for the first goal of the evening to earn his first assist of the year. Tablante has found the back of the net twice for the Lions this campaign to add to his assist, having tallied a goal or an assist in three of the side’s last four outings.
