For the first time this season, and only the second time in the two sides’ short history, NYCFC defeated Orlando City SC 3-0. David Villa‘s brace gave him eight goals on the year. Rodney Wallace chipped in one more, and drew the penalty that led to Villa’s opener for good measure.
Assists went to Ethan White, who picked up the dime on Wallace’s 35th minute tally before departing with an injury soon after, and Maxi Moralez. With all this in mind, here are five key statistics that contributed to NYCFC’s victory.
