MLS

Orlando City, winner of Minnesota United (3-1), joined the Portland Timbers in the final of the American Championship replay tournament.

Orlando City FC, winner of Minnesota United (3-1) on Thursday, will challenge the Portland Timbers in the final of the MLS tournament held behind closed doors in the bubble of Disney World in Orlando. The Portuguese star Nani put the Florida team into orbit by scoring the first two goals (36th and 42nd). His second achievement was the result of a superb strike rolled twenty meters from the cages.

Mason Toye gave Minnesota hope by reducing the score (83rd), but Benji Michel sealed Orlando’s victory in stoppage time. The Lions, in search of a first major title since their integration into MLS, will challenge Tuesday next the Timbers, who eliminated the Philadelphia Union (2-1) on Wednesday. After this final, the regular season of the Championship, suspended in early March due to the Covid-19 pandemic, should resume at the end of the month.
