Orlando City continued their strong preseason thanks to two goals from star man Nani, topping Iceland's KR Reykjavik 3-1 at Exploria Stadium.
The Lions leapt out to an early lead, with Nani being set up by countryman Joao Moutinho in the 2nd minute before Benji Michel finished off a breakaway chance in the 8th. The Icelandic champions pulled one back in the 22nd minute, but Nani scored again, this time from Chris Mueller, to restore the two-goal lead before halftime.
The victory takes Orlando to five wins from six preseason games, and they'll wrap up preparations for the 2020 season when they host San Antonio FC on Feb. 21. They'll then stay home to open the regular season on Feb. 29 against Real Salt Lake (6 pm ET | MLS LIVE on ESPN+ in the US, MLS LIVE on DAZN in Canada).
