Luis Silva's late free kick gives D.C. United 1-0 win over Orlando City
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)—Luis Silva scored in the first minute of stoppage time and Bill Hamid recorded his third shutout of the season as D.C. United beat Orlando City SC 1-0 on Friday night.
Silva, who made his first appearance of the season in the 76th minute, curled in a free kick from outside the 18-yard box past a diving Donovan Ricketts.
United had three shots on goal within 10 seconds in the 58th minute. Conor Doyle had an open look from just outside the 18-yard box pushed aside by Ricketts and Chris Pontius' rebound attempt was cleared by defender Brek Shea at the goal-line. The ball sailed into the air and Pontius' header was punched away by Ricketts.
Hamid, the 2014 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year, kept United (3-1-0) even with Orlando City FC (1-2-2) in the first half with a wide array of saves. He stayed low to make a body stop in the 33rd minute, charged to defend a breakaway in the 41st and dove to gather a header in the 45th.
