Two minutes later, Orlando City SC forward Harvey Sarajian put OCB back in front, volleying home a rebound from the top left of the box after Issah Haruna's initial shot was saved.

Orlando extended its lead in the 61st minute when Hylton scored his first professional goal, finishing a lofted ball to the back post from Orlando City SC midfielder Colin Guske.

The second-half surge continued in the 81st minute when Leao converted a penalty for his first career brace in purple, sealing the 5-2 result for the Lions.
