Przybylko ran onto a pass from Jamiro Monteiro, cut back to evade a defender and side-netted a left-footer that made it 1-1 in the 32nd. Orlando City played much of the second half down two men after Robin Jansson and Sacha Kljestan were shown straight red cards -- Jansson in the 45th for denying a goal-scoring opportunity and Kljestan in the 67th minute for a studs-up tackle.
