The 2020 season was Sebas Mendez’s second with Orlando City after signing on Dec. 28, 2018 from Independiente del Valle in Ecuador. The Lions reportedly beat both Sao Paulo FC and Atletico Paranaense to his signature and it is appearing to pay off thus far. Mendez once again showed how physically capable he is in the middle of the park and how robust he can be for the Lions.
While a good chunk of the 23-year-old’s appearances were off of the bench and he played 727 minutes fewer than last season, albeit in a shorter season, the question still remains: did he utilize his game time well in his second season with Orlando City?
