24 - Helping hands
Orlando City’s attack has been a team effort under Oscar Pareja and the Lions are reaping the rewards on the scoreboard. The Lions lead MLS with 24 assists on the season, two ahead of the Seattle Sounders for the top spot. Those helpers have produced 19 goals, good for fourth in the league. Tesho Akindele, Chris Mueller and Mauricio Pereyra all have four assists on the year while Nani has chipped in three.
3 - Shutdown Schlegel
While the circumstances weren’t ideal, as Antonio Carlos was forced into an early exit due to injury, Rodrigo Schlegel made his return to the pitch for Orlando City on Saturday night and was again effective, as the Lions conceded just once in his 76 minutes on the pitch.
