ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Martin Petrov had a goal and an assist to lead Bolton of the English Premier League to a 3-1 win over Orlando City of the US Pro League in an international exhibition Sunday night.

Petrov, a Bulgarian national in his second season at Bolton, assisted on Kevin Davies’ header in the 14th minute and scored in the 39th from 14 yards out.

Orlando City tied it 1-all in the 28th minute when Matt Luzunaris, on loan from the San Jose Earthquakes of MLS, broke an offsides trap to beat Bolton keeper Adam Bogdan.

Bolton regained the lead in the 37th minute on a goal by Darren Pratley.

Bolton, a FA Cup semifinalist last season, was playing its second of a three-match preseason trip in the U.S. Orlando City, a third-tier U.S. team, will also host Premier League side Newcastle on Saturday.
