Scores off header
Brekalo scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat versus Chicago Fire.
Analysis: Brekalo's header leveled the score for Orlando but the defender wasn't providing much outside of his goal on a set piece. He's likely going to be more occupied on the defensive end against Real Salt Lake, a team which has tallied 33 goals through 19 MLS games.
Bench option in derby
Brekalo (lower leg) is among the substitutes for Saturday's game versus Inter Miami.
Analysis: Brekalo could play again in the rivalry match following a three-game absence due to his leg injury. The defender is a reliable contributor of passes and clearances when on the field, but his upside might be limited until he regains a starting spot. He'll contend with Iago Teodoro and Adrian Marin for a place in Orlando's back line in upcoming fixtures.
