Canada's Larin scores in Orlando City's 2-2 tie in Vancouver

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) Canadian national team member Cyle Larin scored the tying goal in the 50th minute in Orlando City's 2-2 tie with the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday night.

Larin leaped to head in Kevin Molino's cross.

Julio Baptista opened the scoring for Orlando City (4-5-10) in the third minute in the second-year Florida team's first victory to BC Place.

Nicolas Mezquida and Masato Kudo scored for the Whitecaps (8-8-5). Mezquida tied it in the 35th, and Kudo connected in the 43rd.

Baptista had a chance to put Orlando ahead with a penalty kick in the 59th, but his attempt went wide. Moments later at the other end, Orlando City goalkeeper Joseph Bendik made a spectacular save off Kudo's header off Mezquida's long pass.

Vancouver substituted recently signed 15-year-old Alphonso Davies in the 77th for his MLS debut. Davies, the youngest active player in the league, took a right-footed shot minutes later that went wide left.
