ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando City goalkeeper Joe Bendik still remembers when the Lions’ season turned in 2017.
After a hot start, Orlando City finished the year with the worst MLS record in club history. Things turned once the calendar flipped to May – much like this season – and the team never recovered.
The Lions (6-9-1, 19 points) are looking to recover before this season gets away from them.
Orlando City fell out of the playoff picture after losing to the Montreal Impact, the club’s seventh consecutive loss in league play. A win from the Philadelphia Union and a draw from the Chicago Fire meant a drop to eighth place for Orlando City, two spots below the playoff line.
