The team was on a record-breaking six-game winning streak and were flying up the Eastern Conference table, the defense was keeping the sheets clean while the offense was firing on all cylinders, and fans started to believe that this season could be different to the disappointments of years past.

It all started with a home match against bitter rivals Atlanta United. This game was crucial for Orlando, as they thought it would be their chance to prove themselves as legitimate contenders.
