Mauricio Pereyra has become known to Orlando City fans as “El Maestro” for his incisive and creative playmaking, establishing himself as one of MLS’ best No. 10s.
On Sunday night, Pereyra got to remind everyone that he can score, too.

Pereyra’s cool and collected finish was enough for Orlando City to emerge with a 1-0 victory at D.C. United, running their unbeaten run to five, a Club-best to start a season, and enough for him to be named Heineken Man of the Match on the night.
