Facing the Pigeons
The Lions are currently riding a four-game unbeaten streak across all competitions against their 2015 expansion rivals, the latest result coming in a 3-1 victory in the group stage at the MLS is Back Tournament. Chris Mueller scored the fastest brace in Club history in that match, giving the Lions an early two-goal lead with finishes in the fourth and 10th minutes, respectively. Tesho Akindele would add the insurance for the Lions in the 81st minute, the goal that eventually led them to clinching the top spot in Group A on goal-differential in the tournament.
