Wrapping up my game story with quotes from Bradley. Will post shortly.....

Red Bulls hold and win 2-1 to open the season in Orlando. Late goal by Tiago. Bradley's presser will begin shortly. More to follow.....

Tanner Rosborough makes his MLS debut. He replaces two-goal scorer Julian Hall.

Mehmeti comes off. Very impressive outing for the 16-year-old. He's replaced by Berggren. Ruvalcaba proved constant danger down the wing. Choupo-Moting replaces him.

Dos Santos is replaced by Valencia. Marshall-Rutty makes way for Mina.

Forsberg off the post. So close to 3-0 for the Red Bulls.

Orlando thought they cut RBNY's lead to 2-1 but the goal has been disallowed after VAR review. The score remains RBNY 2-0 Orlando in the 52nd minute.

You're not the only one. A lot of people were surprised by this lineup.

Red Bulls lead 2-0 at half. It could have been 3-0 or maybe even 4-0. That's how one-sided the first half was. Orlando City supporters are booing their team off the pitch.

Hall again. His second goal of the first half. RBNY 2-0 Orlando in the 39th minute. Adri Mehmeti has been surgical.
