SANFORD, Fla. — Despite being eliminated from playoff contention, Orlando City will enter its final game of the season on Sunday with one goal nearly achieved — shattering the club’s fewest goals allowed record.
Entering the finale against Chicago, the Lions have only allowed 47 goals this season, a massive drop from the club’s previous record low of 56 goals. This season’s performance marks an improvement of more than 25 goals since last season, when the team ceded 74.
Part of that success has stemmed from goalkeeper Brian Rowe, who reached 100 saves last weekend, becoming the second Orlando City goalkeeper to ever do so.
