The Heineken Man of the Match Spotlight: Daryl Dike

Tuesday night marked the first time in 479 days that Exploria Stadium opened up to full capacity.

Daryl Dike was ready to welcome everyone back.

The 21 year-old sensation scored a brace in his first start for Orlando City since last year’s MLS Cup Playoffs, powering the Lions to a 5-0 thrashing of the San Jose Earthquakes and earning himself Heineken Man of the Match honors.

Dike’s first goal came with Orlando already ahead 2-0. Nani slipped a ball through the San Jose defense, leaving Dike to handle Quakes keeper J.T. Marcinkowski and finish through a tight window with his left foot.
