Orlando City is different this year. The team has proved it during every match of the MLS is Back Tournament. And on Thursday, the Lions swept away more doubt about its ability to win consistently with an aggressive 3-1 victory over Minnesota United punctuated by goals from Nani and Benji Michel.

Coach Oscar Pareja says his team is calm amid current success because they have much more they are working to accomplish. He commonly refers to the team as a “project” — constantly growing, constantly improving.

This focus on the future is keeping the Lions grounded as they prepare to face Portland in the final Tuesday.
