The Lions kept their recent pattern going, as they came into the game on the back of a five-game stretch that went D-W-D-W-D and they went out and added a W to that pattern with a 3-1 victory over Charlotte FC. It was a chippy game with referee Sergii Boiko letting both teams play, and in the end, Orlando City did the better playing and put three balls into the net for the second straight MLS game β€” and this time their three goals helped them earn three points.

I have my purple pen out, and I am ready to issue some grades, so here we go. Let’s take a look at how Orlando City’s players rated individually in their Eastern Conference matchup.

Starters

GK, Pedro Gallese, 5.5 β€” Through no fault of his own there was very little for Gallese to do in this match, as Charlotte only took eight shots and only put one on target, and despite a great effort, El Pulpo was unable to keep Wilfried Zaha’s well-struck ball out of the net. For the rest of the game Gallese basically served as a communicator and passer. He was called into action on a second-half corner kick and tipped a headed ball off the crossbar, but there was a foul before the shot, so he did not get credit for a save. It was a quiet night for the Peruvian, but I am sure he did not complain about it. Gallese completed 80% of his passes, including three of his six long balls.

D, David Brekalo, 7 (MotM) β€”At this point, there is no more settling in, Brekalo is the first-choice left back and he looks excellent in that role. His most memorable contribution was breaking the press with a quick outside-in move before playing a perfect through ball to Ramiro Enrique that turned into the back-breaking third goal, but he was solid all game long on both offense and defense. The Slovenian completed 91.7% of his passes on the night, including the one key pass to Enrique, and a headed pass to CΓ©sar AraΓΊjo that turned into a secondary assist when the next pass went to Luis Muriel, who then scored the game’s opening goal. Brekalo added three tackles, two interceptions and four clearances on defense and closed out the game pairing with Robin Jansson at center back after Rodrigo Schlegel was subbed off for the final few minutes. He also attempted two shots, one of which was off target and the other was blocked. Brekalo was composed and engaged throughout the game, and for me the combination of his contributions on offense and how he thwarted Charlotte defensively made him the man of the match.

D, Robin Jansson, 6.5 β€” The Beefy Swede was in clean-up mode during this match, as he unleashed his trademark slide into a clearance multiple times when Charlotte tried to play long balls forward. Jansson was active throughout, leading the team in tackles (4), interceptions (4), and clearances (5), and he also blocked a shot. There were some nervy moments in the back throughout the game, as Charlotte did a good job getting crosses off into the middle of the field, but the center of Orlando’s defense did well to win most of those balls and get them out of danger. Jansson did get bailed out by Pep Biel hitting a ball over the bar from close range when he should have stayed with Biel, but instead he was just standing and ball-watching and allowed the Charlotte attacker to have a great opportunity to tie the match. On the whole, it was a solid game for Jansson though, with 91.7% passing on a team-leading 72 completions, including a beautiful long ball to a streaking Alex Freeman that helped create the second goal, and helping to hold Charlotte to only one shot on target.

D, Rodrigo Schlegel, 6 β€” I went back and forth between 5.5 and 6 for Schlegel in this match, as he was the primary defender on Zaha when he scored Charlotte’s goal and he definitely should have been at least one step closer to the Ivorian and not allowed him the space to turn and shoot. On the other hand, Zaha is an elite attacker, a former starter for years in the Premier League, and for the most part Schlegel and the rest of the Orlando City defense kept him quiet. In the end, I thought Schlegel’s one moment of a loss of focus was offset by a generally solid game defensively, as even though he did not have any tackles or interceptions he did add two clearances and won one aerial duel, and he completed 95.1% of his passes when he had the ball.

D, Alex Freeman, 6.5 β€” He did not get credit for an assist, primary or secondary, but Freeman contributed heavily to Orlando City’s second goal when he made a tremendous run up the sideline to beat Tim Ream off the dribble and crossed the ball into the middle. The cross was not great, but he did put the ball in front of the goal, where good things often happen, and that ball soon was in the net after MartΓ­n Ojeda hit it approximately 7,000 miles per hour once it bounced out to him. Freeman was dangerous throughout, and while he and Marco PaΕ‘aliΔ‡ did not have the connection they often have had this season, he still pushed up the field like few right backs in the league are able to do and ended up with Orlando City’s third most touches in Charlotte’s penalty area. As is often the case Freeman’s attacking mindset meant that Charlotte more frequently attacked on his side of the field than Brekalo’s, and the visitors were able to get a good amount of crosses into the middle while doing so. Nothing came of them though, and in the end it was another positive game for the Homegrown right back. He tallied one tackle, one interception, and three clearances on defense, and completed 92.7% of his passes on offense, joining the other three starting defenders in completing at least 90% of their passes.

MF, CΓ©sar AraΓΊjo, 6.5 β€” This game hit many items on an AraΓΊjo Bingo card, as he led the team in completed passes (72, while completing 94.7%), hustled and pressed all over the field, got in the opposition’s face after a whistle, committed multiple fouls, received a yellow card, played the full 90 minutes, and brought unparalleled energy on a hot evening. In addition, he also earned an assist when he flicked a ball behind him right into the path of Muriel, who then turned and hit a dipping shot that snuck past Charlotte goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina. About the only thing that the Uruguayan did not do that he normally does was suffer multiple fouls, as he was only fouled once.

MF, Joran Gerbet, 6.5 β€” This match was another one in which I had to remind myself that Gerbet is a rookie, and it was only his 10th professional match. I thought the former Oregon State Beaver and Clemson Tiger was excellent, particularly on defense, as there were several Charlotte crosses into the box that looked dangerous, except that the player who got himself onto the end of those crosses time after time was Gerbet, and then he was able to get the ball to a teammate and out of danger. According to the tracking on mlssoccer.com, he completed every pass but one on the night for a cool 98% completion rate on 51 pass attempts. Eduard Atuesta may be back soon from his injury, but Gerbet has more than held his own in Atuesta’s absence, and he continues to look like another excellent Orlando City draft pick.

MF, IvΓ‘n Angulo, 6 β€” Angulo joined Jansson in his major relief when Biel hit that ball over the bar from close range, because it was the Colombian winger who was initially beaten and allowed the ball to be played across the goalmouth to Biel. That play was not indicative of the entire night for Angulo, but it was one of several instances of a poor performance in the box β€” both the attacking box and defending box. The midfielder just seemed a little bit off in this match, completing only 61.3% of his passes and not having the tightest of touches when he had the ball at his feet. He counteracted that to some extent with his incredible fitness, making several lung-busting runs to recover back on defense or to try to get an attack going, and while the final product was not there for him, it was not due to lack of effort. Angulo made way for Kyle Smith in the 72nd minute in a swap that was like-for-like positionally, though few would confuse Smith’s brand of left wing play for Angulo’s.

MF, Marco PaΕ‘aliΔ‡, 5.5 β€” It was another quiet game for the Croatian winger, though he did contribute directly to Orlando City’s second goal as it was his shot that was blocked up into the air that then turned into Ojeda’s blast into the lower corner of the net. PaΕ‘aliΔ‡ will not get credit for an assist, but that goal does not happen without his shot. Aside from that, his main contribution was to remind everyone that he should be considered one of the best dribblers in club history. He beat another two defenders off the dribble in this game and almost had a play where he beat two defenders on one play on one move, but we are now talking about more highlight-reel type plays that drew “oohs” from the crowd rather than plays that contributed to winning. I think PaΕ‘aliΔ‡’s presence on the right side drew defensive attention and allowed Freeman some extra space to operate, but in this game that did not lead to anything for PaΕ‘aliΔ‡ himself. He completed 72% of his passes, including one key pass, and came off for Dagur Dan ThΓ³rhallsson after a pretty empty 67 minutes.

F, Luis Muriel, 6.5 β€”Β On another day, Muriel could have equaled his strike partner Ojeda’s weekend performance and had a hat trick of his own, but he was a half step offside on an early chance, negating a ball he put into the net. In addition, he could not finish another chance after dribbling all the into the six-yard box and taking too many touches, he was not awarded a penalty although he may have been fouled in the box trying to finish a cross, and he put another shot on target but right at the goalkeeper. Woulda, coulda, shoulda, but did not, but what he did do was rip a ball with a lot of topspin that slipped by Kahlina for the game’s opening goal, and he was aggressive throughout his time on the field, making runs with and without the ball and looking completely comfortable with his role in Orlando City’s offense. He did not have the best passing day, as he only completed 10 passes and at a low 55.6% completion rate, but he was a threat throughout and definitely delivered a top-tier work rate before being replaced by Enrique in the 72nd minute.

F, MartΓ­n Ojeda, 7 β€”Β I want to know the speed of Ojeda’s shot for Orlando City’s second goal, and I want to know if it was faster than his opening goal in the prior game against New England. Both of those goals were absolute missiles, and the Argentinean Designated Player is in top form right now, looking like one of the league’s best attacking players. In addition to his goal contribution, Ojeda completed 90.9% of his passes, including four accurate long balls and three key passes, and he also beat three defenders off the dribble. The partnership of Muriel and Ojeda up front was excellent, with both players looking for one another and playing off each other very well, and it is a testament to their talent together that Orlando City is primarily playing a 4-4-2 at the moment, after years of Coach Γ“scar Pareja going with a 4-2-3-1.

Substitutes

MF, Dagur Dan ThΓ³rhallsson, (67’), 6 β€” ThΓ³rhallsson continued his season-long trend of contributing all over the field, this time subbing in for PaΕ‘aliΔ‡ and playing as the right wing midfielder. The Icelandic midfielder/defender/KyleSmither completed 13 of his 14 pass attempts, added one clearance, and delivered a solid defensive effort in helping the Lions hold and then extend the lead during his 23 minutes on the field.

MF, Ramiro Enrique, (72’), 6 β€” The Argentinean did two things in this game: hustle like crazy and score an excellent first MLS goal of the season. He timed his run perfectly to reach full speed as he caught up to Brekalo’s well-placed through ball and then cut back to avoid Tim Ream before slamming the ball past Kahlina and salting away the game for the Lions. Aside from that goal, he completed zero passes and did not tally any defensive statistics, but that goal effectively ended the game and made it two goals in the last three games in all competitions for Enrique, who has been known to get on hot streaks in the past.

MF/D, Kyle Smith, (72′), 6 β€” The Accountant may just be showing off at this point, as he came on and played out on the left wing in this game, joining left back, center back and center defensive midfield as positions he has played already this season. And if adding a new position was not enough, Smith then dropped back to left center back for the final minutes of the game, showing off the versatility that has defined his game ever since he joined Orlando City. Smith completed 85.7% of his passes while playing those two positions and added two clearances.

MF/D, Rafael Santos (88′), N/A β€” Santos came on for Schlegel, but instead of playing his usual left back role he came on as a left winger, pushing Kyle Smith back to left center back in a five-man line with Brekalo moving over to center back. He won one key aerial duel, snuffing out a Charlotte attack on a long ball into the box, and he also completed his only pass attempt.

F, Justin Ellis (88′), N/A β€” Ellis made his MLS debut in the dying minutes of the game, celebrating his 18th birthday by subbing in and partnering with Ramiro Enrique as the striker tandem. He had four touches and completed his only pass for a perfect 100% completion percentage. He also added one interception on defense and received one hug and the game ball from Muriel in the locker room after the game in celebration of his debut.

That’s how I saw the individual performances in Orlando City’s 3-1 victory at home against Charlotte FC. Let us know what you thought of the game in the comments below and don’t forget to vote for your Man of the Match.

The United States Men’s National Team picked up a gritty, resilient 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32 on Wednesday, and will now face Belgium in a rematch of the 2014 World Cup Round of 16 next Monday. While we patiently wait for that game, it’s time to continue our Friday tradition of revisiting some classic Orlando City games from years past.

Last week, we rewound to a high octane affair against the Chicago Fire in late June 2022, that saw the Lions douse Chicago’s flames and pick up a much-needed 4-2 victory. Today, let’s hop in the time machine and travel back to Independence Day 2023, when Toronto FC came to town.

At the time of Toronto’s visit, things were going relatively smoothly for OCSC. The team was riding a three-match unbeaten streak and had scored five goals across those three games. Oscar Pareja lined up his team in its customary 4-2-3-1, with Pedro Gallese in goal; a back line of Rafael Santos, Robin Jansson, Antonio Carlos, and Kyle Smith; Wilder Cartagena and Cesar Araujo in the double pivot; Ivan Angulo, Mauricio Pereyra, and Facundo Torres in the attacking midfield; and Duncan McGuire up top.

Orlando very nearly got a goal a little under 10 minutes into the game. Former OCSC goalkeeper Greg Ranjitsingh knocked down a cross in front of the net, and while Pereyra was first to the ball, he could only blast it over the bar with the goal at his mercy. Fortunately, that miss would not come back to haunt the Lions, who bagged the game’s first goal in the 16th minute. Angulo sucked defenders toward him on the left edge of the box before releasing Santos out wide. The fullback played a peach of a first-time, curling cross to the back post, where Araujo was waiting to power a diving header into the side netting at the far post for his first league goal.

That goal broke the game open, and Orlando got another goal six minutes later to double the advantage. It initially looked like a carbon copy of the first goal, with Santos out in space on the left side of the box, sending in a curled cross. The ball deflected off a defender and came in low toward the goal. Ranjitsingh waited for the ball instead of going to claim it, and that allowed McGuire to nip in front of him and get a touch on the ball to sneak it in at the near post.

Orlando nearly got even more goals inside the half hour, with Torres and McGuire both going close in quick succession. Federico Bernardeschi smashed a shot off the post in the 28th minute, and the Lions seemed to be losing focus a little bit, with the hydration break a welcome pause in play when it came. OCSC came out of the pause well, and Pereyra put Angulo through in the 36th minute, but the Colombian couldn’t bring the ball under control and fashion a shooting chance.

Orlando led in every meaningful statistical category at halftime. The Lions had more possession (55.8%-44.2%), shots (6-2), shots on goal (2-0), corners (4-2), and passing accuracy (89.5%-85%). Most importantly, they led 2-0 on the scoreboard.

Toronto tried to change things at halftime by introducing three substitutes, but Orlando settled back into the game quickly and negated the efforts of interim TFC manager Terry Dunfield. Angulo and Torres forced Ranjitsingh into a pair of saves in the 53rd and 55th minutes, and the Lions tried to press their advantage by sending on Ramiro Enrique and Martin Ojeda in the 57th minute for McGuire and Pereyra.

The game then changed in a big way in the 62nd minute. Cartagena and Bernardeschi exchanged words after a turnover, and the Italian winger put Cartagena on the ground with the help of a little theatrics from the midfielder. Bernardeschi had already been yellow carded in the 47th minute for a foul on Smith, and the altercation with Wilder saw him receive a second yellow and his marching orders to go along with it.

With TFC down to 10 men, the Lions started to tee off at goal. Ojeda came close to getting the team’s third in the 69th minute, with Enrique doing the same in the 71st but missing just wide. When the goal finally came, it was from the unlikely foot of Dagur Dan Thorhallsson, who had been subbed into the game alongside Ercan Kara in the 68th minute.

Thorhallsson made a great run behind the defense in the 77th minute, and Araujo picked him out well. Ranjitsingh came out to try to play sweeper-keeper, but DDT beat him to the ball easily, touched it around the former Lion, and rolled it into the empty net to score his first MLS goal and make it 3-0.

Toronto had a halfway decent chance to pull one back in the 82nd minute, but Brandon Servania’s long-distance attempt at chipping Gallese ended up missing high and settling on the roof of the net. Kara then iced the game in the 84th minute. Araujo fired a pass to Ojeda at the top of the box, and even though he had trouble bringing it under control, he had the presence of mind to backheel it toward goal for the big Austrian to pounce on and fire a low, hard shot into the net for 4-0.

Ojeda nearly got a goal of his own two minutes later but had a great effort saved in what was the last truly dangerous moment of the game.

As was the case at halftime, when the final whistle blew, the Lions had created plenty of fireworks on both the scoreboard and the stat sheet. OCSC finished with more possession (59.6%-40.4%), shots (18-6), shots on target (9-0), corners (8-2), and passing accuracy (91%-84.8%).

Marcus Mitchell had Player Grades for this one, and he named Araujo the Man of the Match with a grade of 8 out of 10 for his one-goal/one-assist effort. The other high performers on the night were Antonio Carlos, and Cartagena, who each graded out at 7.5 out of 10.

That’ll do it for this week’s trip down memory lane. We’ve been getting spoiled lately, with Orlando putting up four goals in back-to-back time machine games, and it’s made for an enjoyable glimpse into years gone by. With any luck, next week’s edition will be similarly entertaining. Vamos Orlando!

Orlando Pride visit Angel City tonight, NWSL free agents to watch, Portugal and Spain advance, and more.

Happy Friday, Mane Landers! I don’t have many plans this holiday weekend beyond enjoying some soccer and indulging myself in a few hot dogs to celebrate. It should be a fun weekend, but make sure to stay safe out there if you plan on setting off any fireworks. For now though, let’s get to the links!

Orlando Pride Take On Angel City FC Tonight

The NWSL resumes today and the Orlando Pride will play against Angel City FC at 10 p.m. in their first match since a 3-1 win over Bay FC on May 29. That win capped off a six-game month for the Pride, including a stretch of three straight road games. Meanwhile, Angel City parted ways with Alex Straus over the break after only winning once in May, and tonight’s match will be Leif Gunnar Smerud’s first since being named interim head coach. It can be tough playing an opponent with a new coach, but hopefully the Pride can bring all three points back to Orlando.

Top NWSL Free Agents to Watch

Free agency is officially underway in the NWSL and the list of players with contracts expiring at the end of the year includes some of the league’s best players. Orlando Pride star Marta was listed as one of the top free agents to watch, though I would be pretty shocked if she plays for another NWSL club if she leaves Orlando after this season. Leicy Santos, Debinha, and Rose Lavelle are other skilled attackers who will become free agents, but Gotham FC goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger is sure to have plenty of clubs reaching out for her talents as well.

Portugal and Spain Advance in World Cup

This World Cup hasn’t been short on excitement and that continued with Portugal’s 2-1 win against Croatia. After a scoreless first half, Croatia took the lead thanks to a goal from Ivan Perisic, but Cristiano Ronaldo equalized from the penalty spot and the game was moments away from heading to extra time. Goncalo Ramos gave Portugal the goal it needed to advance deep in stoppage time, but Croatia nearly came back with a goal that was disallowed due to an offside call. Spain cruised to a 3-0 win against Austria to book its spot in the round of 16 as well. Mikel Oyarzabal scored twice for his second brace of the tournament, with Marc Cucurella assisting on both of his goals. Spain and Portugal will square off in the next round in what should be a fantastic match. Switzerland and Algeria kicked off late.

The round of 32 wraps up today with a trio of matches, starting with Egypt’s game against Australia. Cape Verde will then look to shock the world when it plays Argentina, and the late game will be between Colombia and Ghana.

Columbus Crew Sign New Designated Player

The Columbus Crew have signed Spanish midfielder Brais Mendez to a Designated Player contract through the 2028-2029 season with a club option for the 2029-2030 season. Mendez has spent the past four La Liga seasons with Real Sociedad, recording 33 goals and 24 assists in 166 appearances. He gives the crew some additional firepower as reports swirl regarding Diego Rossi’s departure for CF Monterrey. While maybe not in the same headline-grabbing tier of MLS summer signings like Antoine Griezmann or Robert Lewandowski, Mendez is a big addition to the league as the Eastern Conference arms race continues.

Free Kicks

  • CF Montreal sent $2.1 million in General Allocation Money to Austin FC in exchange for midfielder Dani Pereira. Selected with the first overall pick in the 2021 MLS SuperDraft, Pereira has contributed six goals and 23 assists in 165 appearances across all competitions for Austin.
  • Real Salt Lake reportedly rejected a transfer bid around $3.5 million from CF Monterrey for midfielder Diego Luna.
  • American winger Emma Sears reportedly requested a trade from Racing Louisville, although the club is not reportedly interested in a midseason transfer.
  • The United States Men’s National Team’s win over Bosnia and Herzegovina had record viewership. Understandably so, too, as I spent most of the match pacing around my living room.

That’s all I have for you this time around. I hope you all have a fantastic Friday and rest of your weekend!

Wednesday nights are starting to feel magical. Orlando City has thrived this year when playing on Wednesdays, and now the United States Men’s National Team has provided us with a reason to tackle this Thursday at full force. Before we dive into that result and the rest of today’s links, let’s all wish a happy birthday to Orlando City defender Tahir Reid-Brown!

USMNT Survives Red Card to Advance

The U.S. won 2-0 against Bosnia and Herzegovina in an emotional rollercoaster of a match in the World Cup’s round of 32. Folarin Balogun got the U.S. on the board at a crucial time right before halftime by scoring his third goal of the tournament. But the game flipped on its head in the second half when Balogun was shown a harsh red card by the referee after video review for a foul when he accidentally came down on the back of an opponent’s foot. The Yanks fought hard to make up for the difference of being down a player and doubled their lead after earning a free kick right outside the box. Malik Tillman’s shot went up and over the wall and into the net for a goal U.S. fans will be replaying over and over again.

The U.S. did well to grind out the win after that second goal, with former Lion Alex Freeman doing his part on defense to help shut out Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was a memorable win, and now the U.S. will turn its focus to its round-of-16 matchup against Belgium on Monday.

Pride Loan Goalkeeper Kat Asman to Denver Summit

The Orlando Pride loaned goalkeeper Kat Asman to the Denver Summit for the remainder of the 2026 NWSL season. Asman is coming off of a loan with Lexington SC in the Gainbridge Super League, where she played every minute of the season to help Lexington win the title. She posted 11 clean sheets with Lexington last season and won the league’s Golden Glove as well. Asman has yet to make an appearance for the Pride since joining prior to the 2025 season, and her contract expires at the end of the season. She now heads to Denver, where Abby Smith has done well in goal as the expansion team’s starter.

MLS Transfer News Roundup

Real Salt Lake sent $625,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM) to Atlanta United in exchange for winger Saba Lobjanidze and a third-round pick in the 2028 MLS SuperDraft, with another $100,000 in GAM going Atlanta’s way if he re-signs with Real Salt Lake. The Columbus Crew fully acquired defender Andres Herrera from River Plate after an extended loan, signing him to a contract through the 2028-2029 season. The LA Galaxy transferred defender Mauricio Cuevas to Santos Laguna, the New England Revolution added forward Wilson Harris, and Sporting Kansas City signed center back Moises Mosquera from FC Juarez. The San Jose Earthquakes are reportedly close to signing Scottish goalkeeper Angus Gunn, with Daniel heading to FC Dallas in a trade if that happens. It’s somewhat surprising considering Daniel has done well to help San Jose only concede 15 goals this season.

European Nations Move On After Dramatic Comebacks

This World Cup continues to deliver thrilling games during this new round-of-32 phase. Senegal looked certain to go through to the next round until Belgium scored a pair of goals after the 85th minute to knot the game at 2-2 and send it into extra time. The game was decided by a penalty, but not in a shootout, as a foul in the box resulted in Youri Tielemans scoring from the spot to give Belgium the victory. In Atlanta, Harry Kane scored twice to rescue England in a 2-1 win over the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Brian Cipanga gave the Congo an early lead, but Kane struck twice in the second half, with his winner being one of the best goals of the tournament so far.

England is now set to face Mexico at the Azteca on Sunday in what should be a great game. As for today’s action, Orlando City winger Marco Pasalic and Croatia will take on Portugal in a matchup between European heavyweights. The winner of that match will face whoever prevails today between Spain and Austria, with Switzerland and Algeria squaring off in the late night match.

That’s all I have for you this time around. I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday and rest of your week!
