Their playoff hopes are hanging on by a thread, but Orlando City scored a huge win against the New York Red Bulls on Friday night, and they have the performances to show for it.
Cyle Larin scored his second hat trick in the New York area this season, and he now holds the record for most goals by a rookie in a season. Kaká collected three assists, almost doubling his season total, while Cristian Higuita more than held his own against one of the best midfields in the league.
