4 – 2
“Milan Iloski converts from the penalty spot to give Philadelphia an early lead after a corner and a blocked shot from Nathan Harriel set up the chance.”
Pivotal“Milan Iloski doubles Philadelphia's lead, finishing off a Indiana Vassilev assist after Vassilev himself had a shot saved and then blocked moments earlier.”
Pivotal“Orlando finally get on the board as Iván Angulo finishes off a Antoine Griezmann assist, cutting the deficit to 4-1 and sparking a brief late rally.”
“Martín Ojeda scores in stoppage time to make it 4-2, giving Orlando a respectable scoreline but coming far too late to threaten Philadelphia's result.”

Orlando City
Outstanding performance
Philadelphia Union•AttackerPhiladelphia Union laid waste to Orlando City despite being outpossessed and out-passed by a huge margin, proving that clinical finishing trumps control when it counts. A penalty and quick-fire finish from Milan Iloski inside the first 19 minutes set the tone, and Indiana Vassilev's goal just after the restart turned a comfortable lead into a rout before Iloski added his third. Orlando, who dominated the ball at 64% possession and out-passed the hosts 573 to 310, simply couldn't find their attacking rhythm until the game was already gone, managing only two shots on target compared to Philadelphia's nine. Iván Angulo and Martín Ojeda's late goals gave the visitors a respectable scoreline but came far too late to change a result that was effectively decided before halftime, with Philadelphia's 20 shots and six big chances created showing just how ruthless they were on the counter.
