Dike, a former Virginia men’s soccer player, scored his third goal in as many matches to defeat D.C. United and propel Orlando into third place in the Eastern Conference. The victory was huge for Orlando and for Dike, who has been on fire in the last three games after battling an injury for a long period of time.
