Daryl Dike played in his first MLS match on Saturday night. The Orlando City rookie entered the game in the 75th minute of the Lions’ 1-0 win over the Montreal Impact. Dike was productive in his first professional outing; however, his work did not translate into goals.
The Virginia product finished the match with one shot, 11 touches, two passes (both unsuccessful), three fouls, and a yellow card.
Despite the poor stats, Dike was active off the ball, got into promising positions, and was a bit unlucky at times. Much work still needs to be done, but he came on and helped Orlando secure victory and move on to the next round.
