Charlotte FC vs. Orlando City: How to Watch Stream Round 1 Game 2

• Bank of America Stadium | Charlotte, North Carolina

After their 2-0 win in Game 1, Orlando is just one win away from facing either Inter Miami CF (No. 1) or Atlanta United (No. 9) in an Eastern Conference semifinal on November 23 or 24. Should Charlotte force themselves to a Game 3, the series will be decided on November 9 at Inter&Co Stadium.

If a Round 1 match is tied after regular time (90 minutes), extra time will not be played. There will immediately be a penalty shootout to decide the winner.

• Seed: Eastern Conference No. 5
• regular season: 51 points (14W-11L-9D)

Charlotte couldn’t solve Orlando’s high-flying attack as the club’s typically stout defense was torn open in Sunday’s 2-0 setback.

Now, Crown looks to bounce back and force a decisive Game 3 in this Round One series. They’ll get support from a raucous Bank of America Stadium in Game 2.

“We’ll have a big crowd behind us (on Friday) and that will certainly give us a spring in our step because we looked – there was a little bit of lethargy in the first half today and we can’t afford to that on Friday,” head coach Dean Smith said after the game.

Charlotte will once again rely on goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina to stave off Orlando, and will hope leading scorer Patrick Agyemang and DP forwards Liel Abada and Karol Swiderski come through up front. However, Charlotte will be without DP playmaker Pep Biel after he was red-carded late in Game 1.

• Seed: Eastern Conference No. 4
• regular season: 52 points (15W-12L-7D)

It was smooth sailing for Orlando in Game 1 as the Lions cruised to a shutout win over Charlotte to take a 1-0 lead in the Round 1 Best-of-3 Series.

Superstars Facundo Torres and Martin Ojeda continued their blistering form and struck for the win as they each found the back of the net. Iván Angulo was also a force to be reckoned with as he got an assist and was named Player of the Match presented by Michelob Ultra.

Orlando looked dominant in the second half of the regular season, winning 10 of 14 games. Will it see them escape the ‘Bank’ with a win and reach the Eastern Conference Semifinals for the third time in club history?
