Another Orlando City win, transfer deadline madness, and plenty more to dive into this week. Let’s get started…
In Orlando: The Taxman cometh
Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Orlando City won again this weekend. The Lions took a hard shot to the jaw from a game New York Red Bulls side and powered through, with goals from Daryl Dike, Júnior Urso, and Antonio Carlos providing the fireworks in a 3-1 victory. Orlando are unbeaten in nine and sit two points back of the Supporters’ Shield.
They did this missing three of their four starters on the backline at the start of the game, including Brazilian dynamo Ruan, who came off hurt in the first half last Sunday against FC Dallas.
