Mijahir Jimnez scores 2 goals in 1st MLS start as the Red Bulls beat Orlando
3-2
HARRISON, N.J. (AP) --- Mijahir Jimnez scored two goals in his first MLS
start, Emil Forsberg added another in the 43rd minute and the New York Red
Bulls beat Orlando 3-2 on Saturday night.
New York (7-7-4) has posted a 4-0-2 mark in the last six meetings across all
competitions against Orlando, including a 2-1 victory in the opening match of
the season.
Orlando (6-10-2) has not defeated New York since a season sweep in 2023.
Jimnez, a 19-year-old who was added on a short-term call up from Red Bull New
York II, opened the scoring in the 23rd and put New York ahead 3-1 in the 60th.
Jimnez became the second player in Red Bulls history to score a brace in his
first career MLS start, joining Cornell Glen on May 8, 2004.
Tyrese Spicer and Griffin Dorsey both scored a second-half goal for Orlando.
