Eight games down and ten points on the board for Adrian Heath‘s Orlando City SC.

Awarding New England Revolution a last gasp penalty after an ALLEGED handball from Servando Carrasco that ACTUALLY hit his shoulder, Lee Nguyen successfully converted the spot kick to salvage a 2-2 draw at the Citrus Bowl. Continue reading →
