New York City FC snatch 2-2 draw at Orlando City with 99th-minute Shore strike
Substitute Jonathan Shore scored in the 99th minute as New York City FC drew 2-2 at Orlando City, while Antoine Griezmann reached 20 goal contributions in just 15 MLS games.
Why it matters
New York City FC rescued a point on the road on Saturday night, October 24, drawing 2-2 with Orlando City at Inter&Co Stadium. The late equalizer was hard-earned: NYCFC have won just once in their last 14 league matches, and their wild-card playoff hopes are slipping.
How the match unfolded
Alonso Martinez put NYCFC ahead in the 18th minute, his first goal since returning from a knee injury. Orlando star Antoine Griezmann headed in an equalizer in the 32nd minute, and Martin Ojeda put Orlando ahead in the 49th with his 50th career goal for the club. NYCFC had a chance to level in the 81st minute, but Talles Magno sent his penalty wide. In the ninth minute of stoppage time, James Sands played the ball back to Jonathan Shore at the top of the box, and Shore finished inside the far post for 2-2.
Records and what comes next
Griezmann reached 20 goal contributions in 15 games, the second-fastest in MLS history behind only Lionel Messi, who did it in 14. NYCFC are now 8-12-11 with 35 points, drawing for the third time in six matches; Orlando are 12-13-6 with 42 points and unbeaten in four. NYCFC host Atlanta on Wednesday, while Orlando travel to Chicago.
