MELBOURNE, FL -- Orlando City B defeated the defending USL champion Rochester Rhinos, 2-1, at Eastern Florida State College behind a brace by OCSC 2016 first-round pick Hadji Barry.
With rookie striker Barry starting alone up top, OCB had the better of the chances from the first minute. From early on, the Lions looked to try to use Barry's speed to create opportunities by playing the ball over the top. But solid play by Rochester central defenders Vasilis Apostolopoulos and Wal Fall were able to keep the speedster in check early.
The first ball that got through for Barry came in the 26th minute, when ball movement resulted in a Lewis Neal pass that got through the back line.
