Pressure. It’s something that Orlando City midfielder Justin Meram has dealt with all season. After being acquired from Columbus Crew SC, many looked to Meram to help carry the Lions during an injury and suspension plagued early season.
Meram had his looks. Shots off the post, just wide or miraculously saved. His first goal in purple was elusive. Sunday night, against Orlando toughest matchup of the year thus far, he broke through.
A deft touch with his left foot to elude a defender followed by a curling right footer to the far post past a charging Alec Kann.
