Less than two minutes after his penalty kick was saved, Darwin Quintero ran onto a Kevin Molino through ball and slotted under a charging Clint Irwin for the lone goal in the 39th minute.
Orlando City SC (9-11-6) are eighth in the Eastern Conference, level on points with seventh-place Montreal following a 1-0 win over Sporting Kansas City Wednesday night at Exploria Stadium.
