The chance was at hand for Orlando City to get back into the match on Sunday against New York City FC. A 64th-minute penalty kick was awarded and City’s leading scorer, Cyle Larin, stepped up to try and put the Lions on the board. Unfortunately, the attempt hit the post and stayed out.
Larin’s try from the spot was his first penalty kick attempt in his Major League Soccer career. He joins Carlos Rivas and Julio Baptista as the other two City players to miss a penalty in MLS for Orlando City. Only one player not named Kaká, Kevin Molino, has scored from the spot for the Lions during their years thus far in MLS.
