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.

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
