Halftime Notes: NYCFC vs. Orlando City
Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports New York City FC currently lead 1-0 over Orlando City after 45 minutes. Here are some key takeaways:
Funky Cold Medina! Jesus Medina scored his team-leading 7th goal to give City the lead. While you could argue that Taty Castellanos did all the dirty work, it was a stone cold near-post finish from Medina. A big goal indeed.
Have a spine. NYCFC’s backline have been great thus far. The combo of Anton Tinnerholm, Alex Callens, Maxime Chanot, and Malte Amundsen have kept Orlando from getting any significant chances thus far, keeping backup goalkeeper Luis Barraza from having to do much to this point.
