Why did Orlando City clinch playoff spot for first time in club history

Orlando City made history after drawing 1-1 against the New York Red Bull. Thanks to Toronto FC's 1-1 victory over Atlanta United, the team coached by Óscar Pareja clinched a playoff spot for the first time in franchise history, which joined the Major League Soccer in 2015.

The Lions are going through the best moment of their young history. They have a 12-match unbeaten streak, although they have only one win in their last five games. Orlando City ranks fourth in the Eastern Conference with 32 points and a record of eight victories, eight draws and two losses.

One of the strengths of the team is the offense. Orlando City is the second highest-scoring team in Major League Soccer during the regular season with 32 goals. The team's top scorer is 24-year-old forward Chris Mueller. Meanwhile, the former Manchester United Nani has scored seven goals. 

On the other hand, Orlando City also has an incredible defense. That's one of the main reasons why the team has not lost any of the last 12 games. Defenders Ruan, Antonio Carlos, Robin Jansson and Kamal Miller and goalkeeper Pedro Gallese are the key players of the defense.
