The stadium was new. The jersey were new. But in Sunday afternoon’s season opener, it was the same old story: New York City FC is still winless on the road in Orlando.
Patrick Vieira’s team had their chances, and looked the better side for most of the game. But don’t tell that to Cyle Larin; the third-year Orlando City forward netted for the seventh time in seven games against NYCFC. It turned out to be the only tally of the game, and the home team snatched all three points at the sold-out grand opening of Orlando City Stadium.
