Orlando City vs. New York City FC: Final Score 1-1 as Lions Improbably Advance on Penalties

Only a madman would try to sort through what just happened in a first-round MLS playoff match between Orlando City and New York City FC at Exploria Stadium. So here goes...

The Lions advanced to the second round after an improbable shootout victory after a 1-1 draw against the Pigeons, which included the following:

  • Ruan was sent off with a second yellow card in the 87th minute.
  • Tesho Akindele missed a sitter in the 10th minute of stoppage time that would have seen Orlando City win, 2-1.
