The Pigeons were hoping to come back from a humiliating 7-0 loss to rival New York Red Bulls with a win against Orlando. They were on pace to pick up the victory, courtesy of goals from Frederic Brillant and captain David Villa.

However, a 72nd-minute debut goal by Julio Baptista coupled with Molino's last-gasp equalizer ended those dreams of redemption.
