Montreal Impact steal three points on the road against Orlando City
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Dominic Oduro scored in a second straight game, Evan
Bush had his sixth shutout of the season and the Montreal Impact beat
Orlando City FC 1-0 on Sunday to move into fourth place in the Eastern
Conference.
Montreal (11-10-11) has won two in a row and sits one
point ahead of fifth-place D.C. United. Orlando (7-11-14) was eliminated
from playoff contention.
Oduro scored in the 56th minute when he
used the outside of his right foot to beat goalkeeper Joe Bendik on a
breakaway. Six minutes prior, Ignacio Piatti had a one-on-one
opportunity but he had a heavy touch near the 18-yard box and Bendik
came out of his area to deny it.
Orlando City had several good
scoring chances in the second half. But Bush made a great reaction save
in the 62nd minute to keep out Cyle Larin's point-blank shot and Julio
Baptista's open shot near the penalty spot in the 70th sailed over the
crossbar. Bush also got a hand on Larin's header in the 88th.
