Orlando City took bragging rights in the I-4 War and got one step closer to taking the top seed in the USL PRO playoffs Sunday night with a 3-0 win over VSI Plant City FC at Plant City Stadium.
Chistian Duke broke open a scoreless game in the 16th minute for Orlando City, scoring off an assist from C.J. Sapong. Orlando City took a two goal lead in stoppage time of the first half when Rob Valentino scored off a header on a corner kick.
VSI had several scoring chances in the second half, but couldn’t find the back of the net. An Orlando City in the 60th minute all but put the game out of reach. The loss was the second straight in VSI’s two-game home stand.
VSI will now hit the road for games against Harrisburg City and Pittsburgh next weekend before returning to Plant City Stadium for the season finale against the Charlotte Eagles.
