"They were hungry today, Jansen said after the game. (They were) very aggressive, created a lot of opportunities and chances to score when it was 11 against 11 and 11 against 10."
"Crepeau's sending off marks the third consecutive occasion that NYCFC has faced 10 men this season, but there was a clear gulf in class between the sides as the hosts started brightly in the opening quarter of an hour."
New York City FC dominated Orlando City SC with a 5-0 victory at Yankee Stadium in their opening home game of the 2026 season. Orlando goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau's red card in the 16th minute proved decisive, allowing NYCFC to control the match. Agustin Ojeda, Nicolas Fernanez Mercau, and Maxi Moralez scored before halftime, effectively deciding the contest. Keaton Parks added two goals early in the second half. NYCFC accumulated seven points from three opening games and demonstrated superior class throughout. The victory marked the club's largest league win since a 6-0 triumph over Real Salt Lake in April 2022 and the 11th time NYCFC scored five goals in an MLS match.
