Orlando City: When exactly is ‘Mueller Time’?

Under a night sky in early April, as lightning still flashed overhead after an hour-long halftime weather delay, a different sort of electricity filled Orlando City Stadium in the 79th minute.

When second-year forward Chris Mueller stepped to the touchline to enter the game for Sebastian Mendez, the Lions supporters that stuck it out through the storm to see the finish against Colorado cheered in anticipation. Orlando City had conceded its first-half lead to trail 3-2. Inspiration was needed.

Almost immediately after checking in, it would be provided. Mueller scored from the left side of the goal box.
