Orlando City forward Julio Baptista scored his first goal in Major League Soccer on Sunday, cutting New York City FC's lead down to one with a low, driven shot past goalkeeper Josh Saunders in the 72nd minute of play.

Surrounded by a pair of Pigeons defenders, the Brazilian controlled the ball with poise before he unleashed a shot into the bottom corner with power and pace.

Enemies of "The Beast," beware.
