After six straight matches allowing a goal, Orlando City’s defense finally recorded a clean sheet Wednesday in the 2-0 win over D.C. United. Tonight, the Lions’ back line will be tasked with a huge challenge as the team hosts the Chicago Fire and MLS’s top goal scorer, Nemanja Nikolic, at Orlando City Stadium.
The 29-year-old, Serbian-born Hungary international has taken the League by storm, scoring 11 goals in his first 13 matches and playing a big role in the Fire’s surprising campaign. Signed as a Designated Player, Nikolic wasted no time adjusting to MLS and has proven to be a great addition to the Illinois-based team.
