The Canadian striker has already made MLS history, and we still have three months left in the season. Cyle Larin recorded his 11th goal of the season during Orlando’s resounding win against Columbus. Larin is now tied with Damani Ralph for most goals by a rookie. Jonathan Osorio is very familiar with Larin’s skills. “He’s having a great year and I’m happy for him especially because we grew up in the same neighborhood and went to the same school so it’s nice to see him doing well like that,” said Osorio. The pair spent time together during Canada’s Gold Cup run. Though they share many similarities, Osorio won’t be sending Larin his best wishes on Wednesday night. “I don’t wish him that success on Wednesday that’s for sure,” Osorio added with a smile.

- Cyle Larin scored two goals – tying the all-time single-season record for goals by a rookie – in Orlando City SC’s 5-2 win against Columbus at the Citrus Bowl. Larin, the No. 1 overall selection in the 2015 SuperDraft, now has 11 goals this season, tying the MLS rookie record set by Damani Ralph of Chicago in 2003 (and, both were products of the Univ. of Connecticut).
- Jonathan Osorio scored his first goal of 2015, but TFC had their three-game undefeated run put to an end in a 3-1 defeat at the New England Revolution on Saturday.
- The teams are meeting for the second time ever, and the first at BMO Field. Jozy Altidore scored a pair of goals in the second half to lead TFC to a 2-0 win April 26 at the Citrus Bowl.
