Hello Sunday and hello Mane Landers! Although disappointment is still fresh following our 1-1 draw against the Fire on Friday, we are still full of energy to provide you another edition of Lion Links! Have a nice Sunday while enjoying the upcoming Lion Links.
Cyle Larin Strikes Again
Canadian striker Cyle Larin seems to have brought into the 2016 season his stupendous hot streak which made him one of the most dangerous players in the 2015 MLS season. Follow last week’s goal, which led to the dramatic comeback against Real Salt Lake City, Larin netted again for Orlando with a sensational strike from inside the box that put the Lions ahead before Chicago equalized few minutes later. Enjoy once again Larin’s strike while waiting eagerly next weekend’s encounter against NYCFC.
.@CyleLarin isn’t playing around. Catch his second goal of 2016 and more.

Edwin Van der Sar returns between the posts….and saves a penalty
Do you remember Edwin Van der Sar? Former Manchester United goalkeeper with whom he collected several trophies, including the UEFA Champions League back in 2008. The Dutch goalkeeper returned in action with a local club from Netherlands to ease their goalkeepers' crisis and he was immediately on the field on Saturday. VV Noordwijk may have earned a point in this match, but it would not have been possible if this did not happen…
