Race for the Golden Boot
Orlando City forward Jack Lynn recorded a brace in the Lions’ outing against Chicago Fire FC II on July 23, his third multi-goal performance of the campaign to net his 11th and 12th goals in 2023. With his 12 finishes this season, Lynn currently sits tied atop the league, level with Atlanta United 2’s Nick Firmino in the Golden Boot race heading into Matchday 20.
Back on the Board
Moises Tablante scored for the Lions in their last match on Monday night at New York Red Bulls II, tallying a goal for the first time since May 5. Tablante has a total of three goals scored, along with two assists on the season thus far.
Last Time in Ft. Lauderdale
The last time these two sides squared off in Ft. Lauderdale came on May 25 of this year for the latest edition of this young rivalry. The Lions saw Jack Lynn finish off a pass from Alex Freeman for the lone goal in the match to take City’s first win over the Herons in 2023. The Lions will look to sweep the regular-season series against Inter Miami II this Saturday.
Selfless Passing
Orlando City B midfielder Jhon Solís provided the assist on Moises Tablante’s goal against Red Bulls II, serving as his fifth helper on the season. That total is good for the team lead in the category, Solís holding one more than team captain Juninho heading into the weekend. All of Solís’ goal contributions in 2023 for OCB have come via an assist.
