Reflecting upon a special night for NYCFC at the Orlando City Stadium…
A Reaction
Patrick Vieira spoke of his side needing to show a response following the defeat to Real Salt Lake in midweek… they did so with interest.
Orlando hadn’t been beaten at their new stadium since taking residency at the start of the campaign, embarking on a six-match unbeaten run (5W 1D) but they just couldn’t live with NYCFC on this occasion.
From the first minute, when Rodney Wallace pressed high and was backed up by David Villa to force a turnover, the boys in blue were authoritative and irrepressible, proving to be good value for the 3-0 winning margin.
