Orlando City SC continued its strong preseason, striking for a pair of second-half goals and picking up a 2-1 win over USL Championship side Tampa Bay Rowdies in a closed-door scrimmage at Exploria Stadium on Wednesday.
Neither side managed to break through in a scoreless first half, but Tampa Bay's Kyle Murphy would find the opener in the 49th minute after beating a defender and slotting home the finish.
Orlando City would manage to level in the 70th minute, however, courtesy of a long-range blast from Jordan Bender.
The hosts then got their winner just six minutes later, on close-range headed finish from Junior Urso to provide what would stand as the decisive goal.
The result moves Orlando City to 4-0-0 on the 2020 preseason ahead of its next exhibition match, which will come against D.C. United at the University of South Florida on Saturday.
