Orlando City didn’t want to wait around for other results. The Lions got second-half goals from Sebas Mendez and Daryl Dike to win 2-0 at Stade Saputo in Montreal and punch their ticket to the MLS playoffs. It was a nervy game but Orlando (13-9-12, 51 points) finished with a club record in points and wins and showed fortitude to beat a desperate CF Montreal () in its own building after the disappointment a week ago in stoppage time.
Mendez’s goal was his first as a Lion and Dike finished the season with 10 by scoring the insurance tally late.
