ORLANDO, Fla. — César Araújo had a goal and an assist, Alex Freeman scored his first MLS goal and Orlando City beat Toronto FC 3-1. Araújo, a 23-year-old midfielder, opened the scoring on a free kick in the 33rd minute, banging it off the post and into the net to beat goalkeeper Sean Johnson. Freeman, a 20-year-old homegrown making his first career start, slipped behind the defense and ran onto a long ball played by defender Kyle Smith from the defending third and tapped it ahead to himself before blasting a low shot from just inside the box to give Orlando (1-1-0) a 2-0 lead in the 35th. Sigurd Rosted and Deybi Flores scored a goal apiece for Toronto. Martín Ojeda and Dagur Thorhallsson each added a goal for Orlando.
