FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Orlando City B (5-3-2, 18 points) took all three points from intrastate rivals Inter Miami CF II (3-6-1, 10 points) via a 1-0 shutout on Thursday night at DRV PNK Stadium.

The Lions were backed by Jack Lynn scoring his fifth goal of the season and his 20th all-time for OCB. Lynn's goal was set-up on the right flank by Shak Mohammed and Alex Freeman before Freeman fired a low cross into a sliding Lynn in the 57th minute for the lead.
