Cyle Larin brace helps Orlando past NYCFC; Sounders smash the Galaxy

This is a modal window.

NYCFC made a late push but could not overcome the 2-goal deficit created from Orlando City's Cyle Larin.

Cyle Larin scored twice to help Orlando City coach Jason Kreis notch a win against his former team, beating New York City 2-1 on Sunday to move atop the Eastern Conference standings.

Orlando City has won three straight and has a two-point lead over Columbus and the New York Red Bulls in the conference. The loss for NYCFC ended its 11-game unbeaten streak at home.

Larin scored from Scott Sutter's cross in the 31st minute and extended the lead to 2-0 with a headed goal 20 minutes later.
