The Lions have now won two straight against the Blues, and remain unbeaten in the season, in a frustrating game in the Bronx.
Cyle Larin's goal in the seventh minute was the difference as Orlando City won their first game of the season, beating New York City 1-0 in an ugly, physical game. The Blues controlled the game wire to wire, but were incredibly wasteful in front of goal before 24,597 in a frigid Yankee Stadium.
The Canadian starlet scored for the third time in three games, taking the entire New York City defense by surprise. Rafael Ramos chased down a long ball down the right side, then calmly chipped a pass into the goal mouth, taking Larin, who wasn't exactly expecting the cross, by surprise.
