Orlando City beats New York Red Bulls to maintain perfect home record
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Servando Carrasco scored from a header in the 34th
minute to help Orlando City outlast the New York Red Bulls 1-0 on
Sunday.
The win is Orlando City's first against the Red Bulls
since Sept. 2015. Orlando City has won all three of its home games with
the team's only defeat coming on the road last week against Columbus.
Orlando
had several first-half scoring opportunities before Carrasco finally
broke through. In the 21st minute, Carrasco found Scott Sutter alone on
the left wing barely outside the box, but the defender's shot sailed
just over the goal.
In the 24th minute, Matias Perez Garcia had straight on look from about 20 yards out but hooked his shot just wide.
Ten
minutes later Carrasco finally found the net, heading in a well-placed
corner kick by Will Johnson. The goal is Carrasco's first since joining
Orlando City in 2015.
Red Bulls' leading scorer Bradley
Wright-Phillips had opportunities to tie it in the 86th and 88th
minutes, respectively, but each shot went wide.
