The MLS Cup conference semifinals wrap up this evening as the final two teams will book their spot in the last-four.
Here is what has gone down in Orlando and Los Angeles so far.
Orlando City 1-0 Atlanta United
Scorers: Enrique 39′
After knocking out Inter Miami in the opening round, Atlanta United’s shock foray into the conference semifinals came to an end at the hands of Orlando City.
It was always going to be tougher for the Five Stripes against an Orlando side that plugged gaps in transition better than their Miami counterparts.
And it went from tricky to trickier when Ramiro Enrique pounced on a scramble in the box to fire home the opener before the break.
Atlanta’s struggles to break down a solid rearguard were apparent after the break as they had few ideas to find a way through and carve out an opportunities to pull level.
Orlando, on the other hand, showed a high level of professionalism as they saw out the narrow result with hardly a scratch.
Óscar Pareja’s side will square off with the New York Red Bulls in the conference final.
Still to come
