Orlando City’s new fortress continues to be impenetrable.
Cyle Larin scored a dramatic game-winner in stoppage time to lead the Lions to a thrilling 2-1 win over the LA Galaxy on Saturday afternoon as the Lions improved to 4-0 at Orlando City Stadium since it opened earlier this year.
Larin's goal came on the heels of Romain Alesandrini’s stunning 83rd-minute equalizer that looked like it might be enough for the Galaxy to steal a road point.
Will Johnson also scored for Orlando City (4-1-0 overall), who vaulted into first place in the Eastern Conference with the win.
