Orlando City rookie Daryl Dike did his best to fight off nerves as he stepped onto the pitch as a starter for the first time in his professional career.

Saturday night full of firsts for Dike — his first road match, his first start and, in the 16th minute, his first professional goal. But despite his personal success, Dike exited the field with the same level of frustration as all of his teammates following a 3-2 loss.

Pareja played Dike throughout the MLS is Back Tournament, with the rookie joining Joey DeZart making their professional debuts during a knockout round match against Montreal.
