After the first week of the 2018 MLS season, Mohamed El-Munir gave Orlando City fans another reason to be optimistic. But his second appearance Saturday night showed some glaring weaknesses that could potentially be troublesome moving forward.
The Orlando City back line played well in the team’s first game of the season against D.C. United. The Libyan left back, replacing last year’s starter Donny Toia, played well enough to be recognized as the undisputed starter among media and fans. His performance was capped by a key moment in the game when he chased down United striker Darren Mattocks from behind, stopping what may have been the game-clinching goal for the visitors.
