After a New York corner kick bounced around and was eventually cleared out of the area, White corralled an errant shot by Jason Pendant, turned and rolled a right-footer just inside the post in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

Luís Carlos “Nani” Almeida da Cunha scored on a penalty kick in the 56th minute after New York's Daryl Dike conceded a foul in the area.

New York (7-8-4), which has just one win in its last five games, outshot Orlando City 14-9 and had 58.8% possession.

Orlando City (8-2-8) is unbeaten in 12 games, yet has only one win in its last five.
