Orlando City clinched another match in its unbeaten start to the 2021 regular season, beating Toronto FC 1-0 at Exploria Stadium on Saturday night for a sixth match without a loss.
In his first start in Orlando, Silvester van der Water immediately stamped an impact on the game. The winger dodged a defender and sent a searing cross into the box in the 12th minute, setting up striker Tesho Akindele to head home the game-winning goal.
The goal marked Akindele’s second of the season, securing a one-goal lead that the Lions controlled for the remainder of the match.
