NYCFC 0
Orlando City 1
Larin 7mins
Match recap…
Patrick Vieira suffered his first defeat as Head Coach under the Friday night lights as the Yankee Stadium hosts went down 1-0 to Orlando City in a game where NYCFC did everything but score.
A David Villa brace helped his side to a 5-3 win over fellow expansion team Orlando in this fixture in July 2015 but this time the hosts were behind six minutes in when Cyle Larin added to his portfolio of goals against NYCFC.
The Canadian international, who scored five times against NYCFC last season, headed home from close range when Josh Saunders was unable to turn Rafael Ramos’s cross far enough away from the danger area.
