Facundo Torres and Orlando Stay Red-Hot: "The Best Soccer We've Played"

Facundo Torres and Orlando City SC have gotten hot at the right time.

Torres scored for the third straight game Wednesday night as the Lions beat Charlotte FC, 2-0, at Inter&Co Stadium to secure their third victory in a row.

“Very happy today,” the Uruguayan international said through a translator after the game. “The team came into today on a really good run of form and in a good moment, so thankfully we continued that tonight

With Wednesday's result, Orlando have won their past three matches by a combined score of 8-0.

“We have been consistent in the way we play,” Pareja said. “The individual performances have been better and better."

Dagur Thorhallsson went even further in his assessment of the Lions.

“I think we can play even better,” the Icelandic right back said. “But this year, this is the best soccer we’ve played… we’re keeping a clean sheet and we’re scoring a lot of goals.”

It’s a well-timed run of good form, as Orlando battle for playoff positioning in a tight Eastern Conference. They put five points of distance between themselves and seventh-place Charlotte with their victory on Wednesday.
