Who has been at the forefront of Orlando City’s current two-game shutout streak? Who else but Joe Bendik.
Bendik’s Star-of-the-match performance against Chicago earned him a spot in the MLS Team of the Week and an MLS Save of the Week nomination for his spectacular goal line punch against D.C. United.
As if any of us forgot, these match-deciding performances have reminded people of Bendik’s irreplaceable value to Orlando City. Last year Bendik was voted by fans and the players as Orlando City’s Player of the Year in a campaign which saw Bendik start all 34 games for the Lions.
