Orlando City’s campaign has been a roller coaster.
The Lions started the season 0-2-1, which led to questions about whether it was time to hit the panic button early. The club won its first match of the 2018 season on March 31, defeating the New York Red Bulls 4-3.
After that, club CEO Alex Leitao said there were no more excuses for the team. For a time, then-coach Jason Kreis and the Lions delivered. After beating the Red Bulls, Orlando City rattled off five more wins in a row.
Then things went off the rails. The goals dried up.
