    Maybe one day I'll remember to put these together more regularly.

    I can't remember an earlier Orlando City goal than last night. Ever. In the Cincinnati half, Mauricio Pereyra tried to feed it into the center shortly after kickoff. Nick Hagglund tried to break it up, but instead put it on a platter for the oncoming Tesho Akindele, who got around and struck it in at a mere 33 seconds.

    At 19', Ruan stole a clearance away, and got it to Nani in the penalty box. After a pair of spin moves on Kubo, he struck it into the near corner of the net for the Lions' second goal.

    Orlando would keep the pressure on for the rest of the game. Though Cincinnati's possession would catch up, they were outshot 22-7, and had no shots on goal to Orlando's five, giving Pedro Gallese a relatively easy night to his second clean sheet of the season.

    A scrum on a deflection at 80' would lead to Junior Urso putting in the dagger at point blank.
