Orlando City’s defense was its strongest at the season’s start. The Lions began the year with a streak of shutouts, allowing only two goals in the first six matches.

But that quickly changed in the last month. Orlando City allowed 12 goals in the past four games despite having mostly full-force availability from preferred starters like Ruan, Antonio Carlos and Pedro Gallese.
