Ebenezer Ofori happy to begin MLS season with a goal for New York City FC

Ghana midfielder Ebenezer Ofori has expressed delight in scoring in the MLS opener for New York City FC in their 2-2 draw with Orlando City.

The on-loan Stuttgart midfielder unleashed a well-struck powerful left-footer low grounder on 13 minutes to beat goalkeeper Brian Rowe between the sticks for the home team.

He posted on Twitter after the game," I thank God for my first 90 minutes and first goal of the season. Decent performance from all the lads."

New York City FC then doubled their lead through Alexander Ring to go into the break with a 2-0 advantage.

However after the break, Orlando City came back into the game when Christopher Muellar's free-kick got past everybody inside the box and zoomed into the net to pull one back.

With a quarter of an hour left for play, Canadian Tesho Akindele levelled for the home team inside the Orlando City Stadium.

Ofori, who has been re-signed again on loan from German side Stuttgart, lasted the entire duration of the match.
