Orlando City SC dismantled Charlotte FC 4–1 on 23 April in an MLS encounter where the hosts' clinical finishing proved decisive despite modest underlying metrics. Operating in a 5–3–2 shape, Orlando converted their chances ruthlessly, with Martin Ojeda netting twice and Luis Otavio and Ignacio Gomez adding one each from just 11 shots and 6 on target. Charlotte's 4–2–3–1 formation generated more volume with 15 shots, yet only five found the target, yielding an expected goals figure of 1.36 compared to Orlando's 1.52. The visitors' goalkeeper produced a respectable 80 per cent save rate and prevented 1.08 goals above expected, but Charlotte's attacking dominance in shot count could not translate to a result. Orlando's five-man defensive line proved sufficiently robust to contain Charlotte's pressure and capitalise on transitions. This victory underscores Orlando's efficiency in front of goal during a critical phase of the season.
