Orlando City 2, Philadelphia Union 1: Instant recap and player ratings survey

The Philadelphia Union suffered their first loss of the season on Saturday night, falling to Orlando City SC, 2-1.

The away side nearly escaped a first half that saw OCSC control every facet of the game, but Cyle Larin finally managed to translate his team’s dominance to the scoreboard. The third-year forward opened up the scoring in the 39th minute, when connected with Carlos Rivas’s cross from point-blank range.

CJ Sapong evened up the score early in the second half. Sapong, starting in place of the injured Jay Simpson, powerfully headed home a flick from Alejandro Bedoya just seven minutes after the break.
