ORLANDO CITY star Nani inflicted more pressure on Inter Miami boss Phil Neville by scoring a stunning winner in the Florida derby.
The ex-Manchester United winger, 34, found the back of the net with a sumptuous strike from the edge of the box that rifled into the top right corner.
Nani, tied down at the Exploria Stadium until the end of the year, has now scored in his last three games.
In total, the Portugal international has banged in six goals in eight MLS games this term, as well as chipping in with three assists.
He even set up Chris Mueller’s equaliser away at Miami, before firing home the winner in the 80th minute.
Orlando sit second in the Eastern Conference table having won their third game in a row, while they have lost just once out of their opening ten fixtures.
Following the win, Nani praised Orlando’s fans who were full of support for his team during the heated derby clash.
He said: “We know how our fans and Miami fans, they see this game as a derby.
“They were very excited during the game, make a lot of noise, and they pushed us.
“They make the game look beautiful for both sides.

“When I scored the goal, all the emotions came to me and in front of our fans, it was beautiful.”
In contrast to Orlando’s great form, Inter – owned by Red Devils legend David Beckham and managed by his former team-mate Phil Neville – have disappointed in 2021.
They have now lost their last four games as they sit 11th in the Eastern table having won just twice in ten outings.
Only one team has lost more than Miami’s six games in the Eastern and Western Conference as pressure mounts on Neville.
