Orlando City roars to 3-1 win over NYCFC, advces to knockout round

Orlando City roared from the opening whistle, grabbing an early lead and locking down a 3-1 victory over New York City FC.

With two striking wins in group play, the Lions have secured enough points to guarantee a place in the knockout round of the MLS is Back Tournament. It’s the first time Orlando City has won back-to-back games since victories on April 29, 2018, and May 6, 2018.

It only took 10 minutes for Chris Mueller to make his mark on the match. The third-year striker opened scoring in the third minute, volleying a curling free kick from João Moutinho.
