Following a record-breaking season by the first team, the Orlando City U-17 squad carved a place for itself in the club history books with an MLS NEXT Cup title on Saturday night.
The team topped the Players Development Academy — a competitive youth club from New Jersey — in a penalty shootout after a scoreless draw in regulation time.
Goalkeeper Isaac Delgado emerged as a hero for the team throughout the playoffs. The keeper saved one shot in penalties against Shattuck-St. Mary’s in the opening rounds of the tournament. He went on to score two shots in penalty shootout of the final match.
