Adrian Winter scored Orlando City's only goal in its 2-1 loss to the Philadelphia Union. He was also voted Man of the Match by you, our readers. This is known. But, how a Swiss midfielder coming off the bench for a mid-table team in the Swiss Super League came to the attention of then-Orlando City General Manager Paul McDonough and played his way into starting lineup alongside former Ballon d'Or winner and Orlando City captain Kaká is harder to grasp.
Adrian Winter made his Orlando City debut against the Philadelphia Union last year in a 0-0 draw, subbing on at the 72-minute mark for Servando Carrasco and quickly combined with Darwin Cerén and Cristian Higuita to try and break the deadlock late in the match.
