Orlando City vs. Sporting Kansas City: Player Grades and Man of the Match

Published

on

Orlando City will come home from Kansas City without any points, extending the team’s winless streak to six (0-3-3) after a 2-1 loss to Sporting KC. The Lions are still 6-4-3 against the Western Conference since joining MLS, but that and a couple of dollars still won’t get you much at Starbucks.

The Lions — without Head Coach Adrian Heath, who served his suspension, and minus the suspended Cristian Higuita — were completely outclassed in Kansas City, yielding a sickening 34 shots, and putting none of their own seven attempts on target. Herein I’ll try to grade the individual performances of Orlando City players in the match, although the positives were fewer and farther between than we’d all like.

I’m sure I’ll be blasted for rating players too high today. But I have to rate these players individually, when I think the larger issue was team play. Plus, these are lower than my usual ratings, which somewhat follow the scholastic rating system, where a 9 would be the equivalent of an A, and I’m not sure I’ve given more than one of those…ever. Here we go:

Starters

GK, Joe Bendik, 7 (MotM) -€” Orlando’s goalkeeper made 10 saves and deserved much better support from his teammates than he got. He kept the game level at 0-0- by making a pair of massive saves on Dom Dwyer and Graham Zusi at the end of the first half with Darwin Ceren down injured in his own box, keeping everyone onside. He was relentlessly peppered throughout the match and came close to blocking Dwyer’s tying goal, despite being left to fend off two attackers by his defense. He wins Man of the Match by default, because it was a bad team performance, but he was the brightest spot for Orlando, and he had to be to keep the Lions from being completely embarrassed on the score sheet.

D, Brek Shea, 4 – Cost Orlando a goal in the seventh minute when he went for goal rather than serve a tap-in to Larin. In the 21st minute he sent an aerial cross for Larin instead of keeping it on the ground and the Canadian couldn’t get to it. However, he was the most active attacker for Orlando throughout the first half and only some timely blocks by Tim Melia and his defenders prevented sitters for Lion attackers. Despite his high work rate and ability to get crosses in, he was a liability on the defensive end throughout, getting turned around on one possession by Roger Espinoza and nutmegged by him on another.

D, David Mateos, 5 -€” A mixed day for the Spaniard, who had some uncharacteristic bad moments, such as an easy pass in the 52nd minute that he mishit and it went out of bounds for a cheap turnover. He set up the own-goal with his header back across goal on the corner. Tied with Redding for the team lead in clearances (8). However, he must share some of the blame on both goals. He got caught ball-watching a bit on the Feilhaber scoop pass that led to the first. And on Jacob Peterson’s game-winning goal, he and Tommy Redding both stayed on Dwyer, leaving Ramos to guard two wide players at the back post.

D, Tommy Redding, 5.5 -€” The youngster returned to the lineup and completed all 20 of his passes and had eight clearances, with four interceptions and a blocked shot. He was slow to react to Dwyer’s run on the first Sporting KC goal, allowing the former Lion to get behind him. Redding seems to have a bright future, but as young and inexperienced as he is at this level, you’re bound to see a few of these moments per game.

D, Rafael Ramos, 4.5 -€” Rafa’s best contributions were his two vital blocked shots, which kept the score from being worse than it was. Oh, and he didn’t get booked. He passed at an 81.8% clip. But on the winning goal, when faced with two players to defend on the weak side, Ramos should have been defending from inside-out. So, he should have been on Peterson and took his chances that the ball wouldn’t reach the fullback out wide. Instead, he Peterson have a free run. He was also not alert to Peterson’s run on the Dwyer goal.

MF, Servando Carrasco, 4.5 -€” Led the team with 72 touches and passed at a respectable 85.7% clip, blocked two shots, and had four interceptions, two tackles and two clearances. But his handball just outside the area set up a dangerous free kick and he allowed guys like Zusi, Davis, and Feilhaber too much room to operate and pull strings in front of the Orlando back line.

MF, Darwin Ceren, 4.5 -€”The Salvadoran had a team-high four tackles but no interceptions, completing about 85% of his passes. Kind of a similar game to what Carrasco had, and his grade therefore reflects that. Went down with an injury just before the half and kept the entire population of Kansas City onside by going down where he did. Unfortunately, he had to be stretchered off late in the game with an apparent injury to his left leg.

MF, Antonio Nocerino , 4 – Defended well on the left flank throughout the first half and completed 12 of 17 first-half passes with one key pass. But being pinned in the left defensive corner, defending the wide flank attacker — in this case Saad Abdul-Salaam — prevents Nocerino from giving any kind of support to the attack. Shea was tucked well inside the penalty area often, leaving the Italian as the only wide defense. His three tackles tied for second on the team. Passing rate was just 69%, the lowest among midfielders.

MF, Kaká, 6 – Completed 20 of his 21 first-half passes and had one of Orlando’s two shots in the first 45 minutes, although it was well off target. In the second half, it was a different story, as the Brazilian completed just of eight of 14 after the break and two of his corner kicks went over the end line before coming back in, wasting two valuable set pieces. His one good corner from the left side resulted in Orlando’s only goal, though.

MF, Kevin Molino, 5.5 -€” Kevin completed 81.4% of his passes and was one of the few Lions contributing to the attack, but I can’t overlook that he was also dispossessed a team-high five times. The Trinidadian contributed one shot, one key pass, three tackles and an interception, but he wasn’t the dangerous presence he had been over the last month.

F, Cyle Larin, 4.5 -€” It’s hard to even grade the Canadian International. He had only five first-half touches and only six in the second half before being subbed off for Julio Baptista in the 71st minute. Some of that can be attributed to poor service, but you have to blame some of it on movement and being offside a four times. He lost the ball in his feet on a 1-v-1 with Matt Besler in the 30th minute and failed to get a shot off. In fact, he failed to even attempt a shot.

Substitutes

D, Luke Boden (65′), 6 -€” On what may have been the first of his 12 touches, he sent a cross into the box that earned a corner instead of the penalty that should have been awarded for a clear handball on Zusi. The Lions did capitalize on the corner by scoring on a Jimmy Medranda own-goal. His passing accuracy (75%) was a tad worse than Shea’s (79.5%) but he brought a calmer approach to defending the left flank.

F, Julio Baptista (71′), 4 -€” It’s hard to even grade the Brazilian. He got eight touches in his 19 minutes (plus five minutes of stoppage) but wasn’t able to do much with them, as his passing accuracy was only 60 percent. Like Larin, he didn’t attempt a shot.

MF, Carlos Rivas (86′), N/A -€” Didn’t have a lot of time to make an impact, and had only five touches, but he still came within a couple of feet of being a hero. With his first touch, the Colombian sent a curling shot off the volley that sailed just wide of goal in the 87th minute.

That’s the way I saw the individual performances at Children’s Mercy Park. Be sure to vote for your Man of the Match below and let’s hope the winless streak stops at six.

Orlando City at Colorado Rapids: Five Takeaways

Here’s what we learned from Orlando City’s 1-0 road victory over the Colorado Rapids.

Orlando City traveled to Denver to take on the Colorado Rapids. The Lions were able to secure a 1-0 win over the Western Conference opponent thanks to a first-half goal from Martin Ojeda. The victory snapped the team’s two-match losing streak, allowing Orlando City to keep pace in the Eastern Conference. Here are my five takeaways from Saturday night’s match.

Oh-Yay-Da

For too many seasons it seemed like Orlando City wasn’t getting the most out of the club’s Designated Players. That hasn’t been the case this year, nor was it in the match against Colorado, at least for two of the DPs. Marco Pasalic made a nice pass to Martin Ojeda in the box to get the assist on Orlando City’s first goal. For his part, Ojeda hit it low, hard, and on target. Sometimes that is all you need. Despite getting a hand on it, goalkeeper Nico Hansen wasn’t able to keep it out, and the Lions took the lead.

An Expected Yellow

Most of you are not in the internal Slack chat for The Mane Land, but we discussed that there was a high probability that at least one of Orlando City’s center backs would get a yellow card, making that player unavailable for the next match. Rodrigo Schlegel proved us correct in the 31st minute when he fouled Djordje Mihailovic just outside the box. Fortunately, the foul was outside the box, and Colorado wasn’t able to capitalize on the opportunity. Hopefully, it won’t have an ill effect on the next match.

Early Defensive Shell

On the road with a one-goal lead and Schlegel on a yellow, Oscar Pareja got defensive early in the second half. We saw the return of Cesar Araujo — who did not get the start and, according to Pareja’s postgame comments, nearly didn’t make the trip because of back spasms this week — in the 58th minute for Luis Muriel. As Muriel hadn’t contributed much to the match, it was important to get fresh legs and an experienced player to help fend off the constant Colorado pressure. Orlando didn’t park the bus, but definitely went into game management mode, hoping to hit on the occasional counter.

Primo El Pulpo

Pedro Gallese was only credited with two saves in the match, but he definitely contributed much more than that. There was about a 10-minute a stretch of time from the 50th minute on that Colorado was creating more chances in and around the box. Pedro made one of his saves, blocked a couple of dangerous crosses that would have gone in without his play, and at least a few clearances. He added his second save, and generally did well to control his area. The two saves were both good ones. He’s not going to get a save-of-the-week award from MLS, but it was enough for me. It’s hard to argue with a clean sheet.

Attitude over Altitude

The early goal was important, as it allowed Orlando City to slow the match down and conserve energy as the minutes ticked by. This was especially noticeable after Araujo came on in the second half. The importance of the goal really showed late in the match, as many of the starters bounced up against the wall created by the altitude, as teams typically run out of gas in Colorado between the 60th and 75th minutes. The late subs, including youngsters Colin Guske and Nico Rodriguez, were able to help see it out despite Colorado pressing for the equalizer.

That is what I saw in the road victory. Let us know your thoughts about the Colorado match in the comments below. Vamos Orlando!

Orlando City vs. Colorado Rapids: Final Score 1-0 as Ojeda’s Goal Snatches Road Win for Lions

Pedro Gallese and Martin Ojeda were the deciding factors in a tightly contested match in Colorado.

Pedro Gallese came up huge in goal and Martin Ojeda found the net to lead Orlando City to a 1-0 win over the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. For the Lions (8-4-6, 30 points) it snapped a two-game losing streak at the end of May, but it still wasn’t the sharpest performance. Gallese made two saves — officially, anyway, because he certainly palmed away some “shrosses” by Colorado (6-8-4, 22 points) that would have been goals without his quick reactions — to earn his eighth clean sheet of the season.

Orlando improved to 6-1-2 in the all-time series and 2-1-2 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

“We are very pleased with the result of the game. We came with the intention to bounce back after last two games, and this was a game that we all declared that is a must-win, not just for the three points but also for the confidence that we needed to have back,” Orlando City Head Coach Oscar Pareja said after the match. “The effort of the players in this place was great. Playing in the altitude is not an easy task.”

Pareja’s lineup featured Gallese in goal behind a back line of David Brekalo, Robin Jansson, Rodrigo Schlegel, and Dagur Dan Thorhallsson — starting with Alex Freeman away with the USMNT. Although Cesar Araujo was back from suspension, the Uruguayan started on the bench, with Joran Gerbet joining Eduard Atuesta in central midfield with wingers Ivan Angulo and Marco Pasalic and Luis Muriel and Ojeda up top.

Orlando City started off the more active team in the attack, but they couldn’t do much with their chances. The first look at goal fell to Muriel in the sixth minute. The Colombian found space outside the area and blasted a shot wide of the left post. A minute later, Angulo sent Ojeda down the left. The Lions’ No. 10 tried to thread a pass to the middle but a defender deflected it to Colorado goalkeeper Nico Hansen.

Muriel slipped Pasalic down the right in the eighth minute. The pass was a little off line, so the Croatian had to gather it before smashing a shot toward the right post. He just missed opening the scoring as his effort hit the outside of the upright.

Colorado’s first bit of attacking danger in the 11th minute with a good cross in from the right. Schlegel did well to head it behind for a corner. Orlando dealt with the initial set piece but conceded a throw-in. The Rapids sent a long throw into the area that pinged around and found Rafael Navarro, who fired wide in the 13th minute.

Thorhallsson showed some rust getting his first start at right back in a long while, missing Schlegel with a headed pass attempt in the 19th minute and gifting the ball to Sam Vines, who sent a chipped shot wide of goal. Two minutes later, the Icelandic fullback made a poor back pass intended for Schlegel that went out for a corner.

Orlando dealt with the set piece and then quickly opened the scoring at the other end. Pasalic sent the ball from right to left, finding Ojeda at the top of the box. Ojeda needed a touch to settle it before smashing a shot toward goal. Hansen got an arm to it, but there wass too much power behind it and he couldn’t keep it out. The Lions led 1-0 in the 24th minute. It was Ojeda’s ninth goal of the season, equaling his total output from his first two seasons in Orlando combined.

“I saw that the past months or weeks that (opponents) try to stop my left foot for the shot,” said Pasalic, who picked up the assist. “And there are many people around me, so two, three people every time, and I get a ball on the left foot, and I try to see who is in better position. And I see if Lucho (Muriel) or Tincho (Ojeda) is better to play, because it’s important that we score the goal, not only me. I think the chemistry is good.”

The goal gave Orlando some confidence, as the Lions started playing a bit better afterward. A gift corner kick nearly paid off in the 28th minute when Ojeda’s cross found Schlegel, who contorted to get his head to the ball and the shot was headed into the top right corner if not for a good save by Hansen. Pasalic overcooked his service on the ensuing corner, ending the threat.

The Rapids got back on the front foot before the end of the half, catching Orlando napping a couple of times with quick passes forward. Djordje Mihailovic got wide of Schlegel in the 31st minute and the Argentine took him down just outside the area, picking up a booking that will see him suspended for the Lions’ next game on July 25 at St. Louis. Orlando cleared the set piece, but the Rapids kept coming.

Thorhallsson’s turnover in the corner gave Colorado a quick transition opportunity with numbers forward and Jansson made a vital clearance to keep a cross from reaching an attacker out front, instead conceding a corner in the 36th minute. Orlando cleared but blocked a shot out for another corner on the set piece. The Rapids played it short and Muriel went to ground to make concede yet another corner with a good tackle.

Orlando’s last look of the first half should have been a good one. Pasalic did well to pick out Muriel, who had managed to sneak into some space just outside the box in the middle. However, Muriel’s first touch was a poor one, and by the time he regathered it, he was on his left foot, firing well off target in the 42nd minute.

The Lions were fortunate not to concede late. An incisive run by Mihailovic saw the Rapids attacker blaze past a complacent Atuesta. Pasalic tried to track back and disrupt, but Mihailovic was able to fire a blast just wide of the right post in the 44th minute.

Orlando saw out a minute of stoppage time and took its slim lead into the break.

At the break, the Lions held the advantage in possession (52.3%-47.7%), shots on target (2-0), and passing accuracy (79.4%-73.2%). Colorado attempted more shots (6-5) and won more corners (5-2).

Colorado dominated play after the restart, keeping the Lions penned in their own end. Theodore Ku-Dipietro fizzed a dangerous cross through the area in the 48th minute but couldn’t find a teammate and it went out for a goal kick. Two minutes later, the Rapids finally put a shot on target and it was a good one. Navarro sent a header toward the upper left corner. Gallese made a diving save to keep it out. The Peruvian then had to palm away a couple of dangerous crosses in that didn’t make contact with anyone and were headed inside the right post without his intervention in the 53rd and 54th minutes.

“The confidence that we have with Pedro is intact. We have one of the best goalkeepers in the league,” Pareja said. “What happened in (the) Chicago (game) is in the past, and what happened today, I think, is a lot of kudos to him. He made two great saves today and we’re happy for Pedro and obviously for all of us.”

“They have good players in the front and good counterattacks, but our defense was good today,” Pasalic said when asked about how the Rapids were able to maintain pressure.

Angulo had to make an important tackle in the box in the 57th and just got it right, only to be fouled, taking the pressure off for the moment.

With the one-way traffic in the Rapids’ favor, Pareja made his first sub, sending Araujo on for the largely ineffective Muriel in the 58th minute.

The move settled things down a bit as the Lions were able to slow play down for a spell.

“We had difficulties with Cesar during the week. He had a spasm in his back and he couldn’t train the last two days,” Pareja said. “He was even doubtful to come to Colorado, and we really value his effort to come. He wanted to be part of the game still, so we wanted to limit his minutes. But also, we knew that in the second half, in a place like this one, we may need those legs and that experience. It seemed like we were losing too much territory there, and they were coming with many other players. We couldn’t sustain the ball enough, and when Cesar came in, we looked different, more solid. We could have had the ball better, but I thought the inclusion of Cesar in the game helped us a lot.”

Orlando City even got forward a couple of times, with Ojeda firing wide from a tight angle in the 69th minute. Pasalic then tried his luck from about 35 yards out in the 71st minute. It was a good effort but Hansen was easily able to get down to make the save from that distance.

Mihailovic got inside in the 72nd minute but Gallese did well to make a big save, knocking it wide of the onrushing Darren Yapi.

Pareja sent on Kyle Smith and Ramiro Enrique on before the corner kick, withdrawing Thorhallsson and Pasalic.

The final minutes were difficult ones, with the Lions suffering a lot of Colorado pressure in their defensive third. However, the Rapids only fashioned one chance with that possession. The ball was pinballing around the area and found its way to Navarro on the right side of the box. Orlando did well to pressure him on his jump and the Brazilian sent his header wide in the third minute of injury time.

Orlando saw out the remaining stoppage time and picked up a huge road win.

Colorado finished with the advantage in possession (51%-49%), shots (14-7), and corners (9-2). The Lions put more shots on target (3-2) and passed more efficiently (79.2%-76.1%).

With the win, the Lions climbed to fifth in the tight Eastern Conference race.

“I think it was important that we won this game today, because we lost three points at home and get the three points back today here away,” Pasalic said. “And I think it tastes better when you win away. And under these circumstances, you know, when it’s so, so difficult to breathe and difficult to adapt, you know? And, yeah, I’m really happy that we won this game. Now we have this rest, and I think everybody’s going (into) this rest with a good feeling, and I can’t wait to be back and to win games again.”

“Today, the most important (thing) was to get a result here in the altitude against a good rival that provide us again, more confidence,” Pareja said. “I know we can play better, especially in the second half, but we’re good. We needed these three points and we’re proud of the boys.”

The Lions are off until Wednesday, July 25, when they’ll visit St. Louis City.

The Lions return to action after the international break looking to snap a two-game losing streak.

Dan MacDonald, The Mane Land

Welcome to your match thread for a Saturday night matchup between Orlando City (7-4-6, 27 points) and the Colorado Rapids (6-7-4, 22 points) at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park (9:30 p.m., MLS Season Pass on Apple TV). It’s the one and only scheduled meeting between the two sides this season.

Here’s what you need to know ahead of the match.

History

Orlando City is 5-1-2 in the all-time series (1-1-2 on the road). The most recent meeting took place on June 10, 2023 in Orlando, when the Lions won 2-0 on goals by Facundo Torres and Ramiro Enrique. It was Enrique’s first MLS goal. Orlando’s job was made easier by a pair of red cards to the Rapids, with both Braian Galvan seeing red in the 39th minute and Lalas Abubakar picking up a second yello in the 75th. Torres’ goal came with a one-man advantage, and Enrique put the game away a few minutes after Abubakar hit the showers.

The last time the teams met in Colorado was in 2022, with the teams playing to a 1-1 draw on July 13. Torres gave the Lions the lead in the first half but Gyasi Zardes equalized in the second half.

Before 2022, the previous meeting also took place in Colorado on March 7, 2020, just prior to MLS shutting down for the pandemic. The Lions fell 2-1 to the Rapids on a 90th-minute goal by Drew Moor off a Colorado corner kick. It spoiled a good road effort by the Lions, who were playing without suspended captain Nani at the time. The winning goal came just eight minutes after Chris Mueller’s goal had leveled things and canceled out a Younes Namli strike.

Before that, the teams met in Exploria Stadium in a wild match won 4-3 by the Lions on April 6, 2019. Orlando came from behind twice in the game — from deficits of 1-0 and 3-2 — to claim all three points. Kei Kamara opened the scoring early, because of course he did. Nani tied things up just past the half-hour mark, and Tesho Akindele gave Orlando the lead two minutes later. But Nicolas Mezquida and Cole Bassett scored 10 minutes apart in the second half to put the Rapids back in front. Mueller knotted the game up at 3-3 as the game approached its end, and Nani scored on a penalty just before stoppage time to bring the Lions back.

The Lions came from behind to win 2-1 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on April 29, 2018. Cristian Higuita and Yoshimar Yotún (pen.) provided the offense in the victory.

Orlando City won 2-0 at home as part of a four-game winning streak in 2017, which was also the fifth consecutive victory to open Orlando City Stadium. Carlos Rivas and Kaká provided all the offense in that 2017 game. The 2016 meeting ended in a 0-0 draw at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The 2015 meeting at the Citrus Bowl saw the Lions defeat the Rapids, 2-0. Rivas came on for an injured Brek Shea in that match and turned the game around. Kaká and Cyle Larin scored for Orlando City.

Overview

Orlando City has lost two straight entering tonight, so the Lions were in dire need of the international break. It was a strong May for Orlando up until the final week and the team needed to regroup. The Lions are 2-2-4 on the road, so they’ve been good at getting results away from home, even if those results are mostly a point at a time. It’s always difficult for most teams around the league to win at altitude, which becomes a bigger problem as the game wears on. Orlando will most likely only find success if it can score early in the game and hold on when the legs and minds tire and the lungs feel every inch of the mile-high elevation.

The Rapids are off to a decent start, sitting in the last playoff play-in game position entering tonight. Colorado is 4-3-2 at home in 2025 but has lost its last two matches, including a 2-0 defeat at home to Austin a week ago. The Pids created chances in the match but struggled to score, which probably sounds familiar to fans of Orlando City — a team that creates a lot of big chances but often fails to convert them.

Chris Armas was not the Colorado manager the last time these teams met, but he is the one that has the Rapids among the playoff places at the season’s halfway point. Djordje Mihailovic is the obvious danger man the Lions must contend with, as he leads Colorado with seven goals and is tied for the club lead in assists, with three. Rafael Navarro isn’t far behind with five goals and an assist. Darren Yapi has three goals, and no one else on the Pids has more than one.

“Colorado Rapids is a team that has been finding its best version. Right now, we’re focusing on what strengths they have offensively, as well as weaknesses, and combining all of that information,” Orlando City Head Coach Oscar Pareja said ahead of the match. “We are trying to do our best and put our team at an advantage with the way we play so we can defend them. It is a game in a place that we respect, but we are very optimistic. Our preparation has been really good so far.”

Orlando City will be without Alex Freeman (international duty), Duncan McGuire (shoulder), Wilder Cartagena (Achilles), and Yutaro Tsukada (knee), while Nico Rodriguez (thigh) is questionable. Colorado will be without Zack Steffen (knee), Ali Fadal (knee), Wayne Frederick (international duty), and Alex Harris (ankle).
