Scoring Summary:
* 14’ - Christian Ramírez (Miki Yamane, Edwin Cerrillo) – LA 1, ORL 0 _ The hosts opened the scoring in the match after a period of sustained pressure when Edwin Cerrillo fed a ball out to the right wing for Miki Yamane. Yamane broke behind the defense towards the endline and calmly sent a low cross to Christian Ramírez at the near post. Ramírez got his foot on it and tucked a slow ball just inside the post for the opener.
* 76’ - Martín Ojeda (Penalty Kick) – ORL 1, LA 1 _ The visitors found the equalizer in the second half after a barage of attacking play from the Lions. Eduard Atuesta found himself inside the box and as he was trying to get away from a Galaxy defender, was taken down and given a penalty kick. Martín Ojeda stepped up to the penalty spot and made no mistake with the finish.
* 90’ - Luis Muriel – ORL 2, LA 1 _ Orlando found the winner right before second half stoppage time after they were awarded a free kick from beyond the box. Luis Muriel was the only one over the free kick and had a long run up before smashing the ball on target. Galaxy goalkeeper, John McCarthy, was able to get a hand on it, but the shot proved to be too powerful as the ball slipped out of McCarthy’s hands and over the goal line for the game winner.
