Oscar Pareja’s Orlando City has been breaking records left and right in 2020.
Their nine-game unbeaten run ranks as both a club-best and the most of any team in Major League Soccer this season. They have reached 29 points in just 15 games, comfortably beating out 2017’s previous mark of 19 matchdays. They lead the Eastern Conference with 28 goals scored and have yet to lose at Exploria Stadium this calendar year.
That they have done all of this while being ravaged by injuries is nothing short of remarkable. João Moutinho, Uri Rosell, Dom Dwyer, Tesho Akindele, Ruan, and Antonio Carlos are among those who have missed time with various ailments this season, and yet the Lions keep rolling toward the MLS Cup Playoffs and a potential Supporters’ Shield.
