With Orlando City set to play its first ever postseason game in Major League Soccer, it’s only fitting that the opponent is New York City FC. The two teams entered the league together and have been joined at the hip throughout their history in the league, even though the teams’ fortunes didn’t evolve the same way.
On May 21, 2013, New York City Football Club was officially named as Major League Soccer’s 20th team. Six months later — almost to the day — on Nov. 19, 2013, MLS named Orlando City SC as the league’s 21st club.
