Sacha Kljestan burned his former club with his first goal of the season, lifting Orlando City SC to a 1-0 win over the New York Red Bulls Saturday night at Red Bull Arena.

Known more for his playmaking, Kljestan, who was booed by the home fans when his name was announced as part of the Lions’ starting XI, got on the end of an open Joao Moutinho cross and slipped his shot past Luis Robles.

The Red Bulls thought they had the equalizer three minutes later when Danny Royer latched onto a Marc Rzatkowski free kick and put a downward header toward the goal. But Carlos Ascues made a terrific goal-line clearance as the Red Bulls suffered their first regular-season home loss since July 28 against Columbus Crew SC.
