MLS Review: Orlando stay alive in play-off race

Cyle Larin scored a second-half brace as Orlando City overcame New York City 2-1 to stay alive in the race for the MLS play-offs.

Larin netted twice in the space of eight minutes to keep Orlando City in the post-season hunt for at least another day.

New York City were already eliminated from post-season contention prior to kick-off at the Citrus Bowl but the visitors tried their best to dent Orlando City's hopes.

The Canada international doubled his tally eight minutes later, when he side-footed home the go-ahead goal after Adrian Winter's initial shot was blocked.

Anibal Godoy's 47th-minute goal was all that separated the teams in San Jose.
