Orlando stays on the road with a midweek matchup against Nashville SC on Wednesday.

“Very excited with the three points, very proud of the character of the team and the players that brought us back after an irregular first half,” Orlando head coach Oscar Pareja said. “The second half, it was what we wanted and the reaction was outstanding from the players. It seems like our confidence keeps raising and finding the net is helping us to believe that this is the team who can keep that rhythm and get into the playoffs.”
