Orlando City took a step closer to a home playoff game, beating the Montreal Impact 1-0 on a Daryl Dike goal and five saves by Pedro Gallese at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, NJ. The Lions could have clinched the top four had New York City FC not won its game tonight, but Orlando City (10-3-8, 38 points) will take the three points from the Impact (7-13-2, 23 points) and the shutout victory home with them, with just two games left to play in the regular season.
It was Orlando’s first shutout victory of the regular season — after a few 0-0 draws — and the win moved Oscar Pareja into eighth place on the all-time MLS list for coaching victories.
