The Story:
After scoring a brace against Minnesota United FC on Saturday, Duncan McGuire is one goal away from tying former Lions Daryl Dike and Benji Michel for eighth on the club’s all-time scoring chart with 19 goals in the MLS era.
Nothing has separated Orlando City and Tigres after their third-straight draw last week in Orlando.
Facundo Torres’ next appearance will be his 85th for Orlando City in all competitions and his next goal will be his 30th for the Lions.
Quote of the Week:
“Obviously a great opportunity that we have and as we have had before, coming to Mexico, playing a big team and having this opportunity to qualify for the next round. So, it’s a big opportunity, we are preparing, and we are just going to come and try to use that opportunity to make Orlando advance. That’s just the way that we have to take the game, with the positivity that we can come and advance here in Mexico. It would be great, not just for Orlando, but for the league as well.”
