5 – Benji Bangers

Homegrown forward Benji Michel has enjoyed a productive rookie season in 2019. Michel scored his first professional goal against New England in the U.S. Open Cup on June 19; since scoring that goal, Michel is tied with Tesho Akindele for the team lead in goals in all competitions with five. What’s more, all five of Michel’s goals have either tied or won a game for Orlando. His most recent bit of heroism came on Sunday in Cincinnati, when he knocked home City’s second stoppage-time goal of 2019 (and the first to change a result).
