New York City FC maintained their momentum, while Orlando City SC‘s familiar problems reared their heads again, when the 2015 MLS expansion siblings met in Orlando on Thursday night.
The visitors rarely hit top gear, but didn’t have to, as goals from Maxi Moralez and Anton Tinnerholm late in the first half provided all the cushion needed against a luckless Lions side short on confidence. The victory runs NYCFC’s current winning streak to four straight, while OCSC have now lost 10 of their last 11 in league play.
Moralez’s opener had more than a slight whiff of good fortune, as the Argentinean tracked down a loose ball and roofed his finish after a scrappy pinball-esque sequence in front of Orlando’s goal, and Tinnerholm bagged his fourth of the year in first-half injury time to provide a comfortable margin of victory.
