Trailing 2-0 with less than 25 minutes remaining, Orlando City fought back for a 2-2 road draw against Charlotte FC at Bank of America Stadium tonight. Pep Biel scored late in the first half to put the hosts ahead, and Bill Tuiloma doubled the lead after the break. Ramiro Enrique pulled one back for Orlando City (9-5-7, 34 points), and Marco Pasalic fired home late to give Orlando a hard-fought, come-from-behind draw at Charlotte (8-11-2, 26 points). Martin Ojeda assisted on both goals.

The Lions are unbeaten in their last three road matches (2-0-1), but are winless in two straight overall after last week’s home loss to FC Cincinnati and tonight’s draw (0-1-1).

“The feeling is we could have, or we should, have got three points here in Charlotte,” Orlando City Head Coach Oscar Pareja said after this game. “But we paid the price to our distractions on those two goals that was much more our responsibility there on our duties there that we have to control. And then we have to push in many different ways to find that equalizer and try to get the winning goal. But it was not enough.”

Pareja’s starting lineup included goalkeeper Pedro Gallese behind a back line of David Brekalo, Robin Jansson, Rodrigo Schlegel, and Dagur Dan Thorhallsson. Cesar Araujo and Eduard Atuesta started in central midfield between wingers Ojeda and Pasalic, with Enrique and Luis Muriel up top.

Charlotte opened the game pressing high up the field, forcing Orlando City to be precise to play out. The Lions did just that early on, winning a free kick just inside Charlotte’s half of the field. Orlando switched the field on the set piece, with Thorhallsson finding Pasalic after drawing two defenders to himself. The Croatian did well to work the ball into the box before being cut off. The ball fell between Enrique and Atuesta, with the latter sending a soft shot toward the near post that didn’t have enough power to bother Kristijan Kahlina.

Brekalo was able to sneak in behind the defense on the left in the 13th minute, getting onto a beautiful back-post ball from Pasalic, but the Slovenian’s header for the near post was saved by Kahlina.

Moments later, Brekalo was fouled by Brandt Bronico just inside Charlotte territory. The defender was knocked off balance by the foul and his flailing arm caught the midfielder, drawing blood. Brekalo was curiously shown a yellow card for an elbow that the foul by Bronico created.

Charlotte’s first look at goal came in the 26th minute. Jansson got caught forward after knocking a ball away and trying to chase it down. The hosts took possession and a quick ball over the top found Kerwin Vargas, who was kept onside by Schlegel. Vargas went for goal but Gallese did well to fight it off with a vital save.

A couple of set pieces and an Ojeda cross in for nobody attacking the goal later preceded a decent spell of possession by Charlotte. The hosts were able to keep the Lions pinned in their end for a few minutes, as Orlando couldn’t find precision in trying to break out. That eventually resulted in a couple of poor clearance attempts pinging around and finding Nicholas Scardina, who fired well wide of the left post.

Charlotte scored five minutes later. Bill Tuiloma had the ball on his foot in Charlotte’s defensive third and sent a great diagonal ball to Scardina, who was given plenty of space all throughout the first half by Brekalo. Biel cut from the middle toward the right, beating Araujo to Scardina’s pass before firing in an inch-perfect shot just out of Gallese’s reach and inside the back post to make it 1-0 in the 40th minute.

“The first goal, I think we had a second of distractions when they switched the point of the attack,” Pareja said. “It should have been positionally better, and our shape should have been better in those circumstances when they played that long ball to Scardina.”

Pasalic tried an audacious shot from distance in the 43rd minute, but he didn’t clear his defender and it was easily blocked. The ball went behind for a corner, and Pasalic went to the flag to take the kick. The Croatian’s cross found Brekalo, but the defender sent his shot wide of the target.

Orlando City moved the ball too slowly in stoppage time to create any final chances and went to the break down a goal on the road.

At the break, Orlando City had the advantage in possession (61.4%-38.6%), corners (3-1), and passing accuracy (89.5%-80.5%). Both teams attempted four shots and put two on target, but the hosts had the all-important goal.

“I think they played a very good first half tactically,” Atuesta said. “The chance that they had, they scored. But in the second half, we knew what to do maybe to make them suffer a little bit more, and we did it. Almost we won the three points.”

Pareja subbed on Rafael Santos for Brekalo at the break, looking to get more width from the fullback position to allow Ojeda to come inside more. It eventually worked and allowed the Lions to become dangerous from their left side.

“I think we unlocked the team with that movement,” Pareja said. “We wanted to see different connections on the left when we lined up Martin (Ojeda), Ramiro (Enrique), Luis (Muriel), I think we were very aggressive the way we lined up the group. I really think we should have had much more volume. Just bringing Rafa in the second half, I think immediately everybody just got back into the confidence and the better spots, and we looked a much, much (more) dangerous team.”

However, whatever was said at halftime in the Orlando City locker room was not immediately successful. Biel fired a shot on goal from Charlotte’s attacking right within a minute of the restart that required a Gallese save. Orlando quickly gave the ball right back and Biel was left in too much space just outside the box. He fired just over Gallese’s crossbar in the 47th minute.

The Lions were bereft of ideas in the attacking third and started trying to strike from distance. Muriel fired a couple of yards wide from range in the 51st minute, and Santos smashed a shot wide of the same right post in the 53rd on an impatient play that appeared to have promise with numbers. Three minutes later, Muriel did well to give Ojeda the ball in the box at pace, but the Argentine took a touch and that allowed the Charlotte defense to converge and prevent a scoring chance.

Enrique should have put the Lions on the board in the 62nd minute. Sent over the top, the forward did well to round Kahlina, but he couldn’t pick up the ball cleanly and by the time he fired his shot, Scardina had gotten back and blocked it off the line. Araujo sent a weak header at Kahlina on the ensuing corner kick.

Gallese came out of the box to try to prevent a transition over the top but he didn’t get enough on his clearance and he committed a foul, taking a booking for it. He’ll miss the next match due to yellow card accumulation. Charlotte made the ensuing set piece pay off when Santos failed to stay tight to Tuiloma, who headed it in at the back post to make it 2-0 in the 65th minute.

“On the second one, I think we’re all conscious that the ball should have been cleared and it ended up just giving up (a goal) on a set play,” Pareja said. “In those moments I feel that we should have done better.”

The way Orlando had been playing to that point, it seemed the game was done and dusted, but the Lions scratched their way back into the match out of nowhere. A nice give-and-go between Muriel and Ojeda ended up with the latter sending a ball across the six for Enrique to tap home for his fifth goal of the MLS season. It was game on in the 69th minute.

As the Lions chased the game, they were bound to give up some space, and second-half sub Liel Abada found himself in acres of it near the top of the area in the 71st minute, but Gallese was able to make the save.

Ojeda did well to set up Pasalic in the 73rd minute on the right, but the winger missed the target just wide to the right on a golden opportunity to tie the game.

Jansson picked up a yellow breaking up a transition in the 75th minute and he will join Gallese in missing the next match because of yellow card accumulation. However, the captain picked up a knock on a collision two minutes later and had to sub off for Kyle Smith, ending his night early. Pareja said after the match that Jansson should be fine after serving the suspension.

Pasalic tied things up in the 80th minute, taking a layoff from Muriel in the box and smashing his shot just inside the right post. Improbably, the Lions were level with 10 minutes plus injury time remaining after Pasalic’s 10th goal of the season.

Both teams looked for the winning goal down the stretch, but Orlando held more of the ball. Abada fired wide in the 84th minute on one of Charlotte’s few looks in the final minutes.

Atuesta did well to walk through the defense into the box moments later, eventually turning down a shot to give the ball to Enrique, but the forward couldn’t collect it until he had his back to goal and couldn’t work his way into position to shoot. Atuesta said the artificial turf had played a role in the lack of sharpness at times in the attacking third, and it was a factor on that play.

“I had the opportunity there to have the chance to shoot, and I saw the defender comes with with everything to not let me should shoot,” Atuesta said. “I cut, then I did another. The ball goes through (the defender’s legs), and I saw (Enrique) ready to just kick the ball inside the net. But it’s not easy, this field, to be sharp in those little details. It’s not the same as grass. Maybe that’s why we missed a little bit some chances in the box.”

Ojeda had a shot from outside the area blocked in the sixth minute of injury time, and neither side came closer than that in the final minutes. The teams had to settle for splitting the points.

Orlando City finished with the advantage in possession (62.2%-37.8%), shots (16-11), shots on target (6-5), corners (6-2), and passing accuracy (89.8%-81.3%). Had Enrique or Pasalic been able to convert for a brace with their golden opportunities, the one point may have been three, but the Lions are likely glad to take home anything after trailing by two goals on the road past the hour mark.

“I thought we accomplished the fact that we tied the game in a very difficult scenario for us, just losing 2-0 away,” Pareja said. “So credit (to) the players that never gave up that intention. Even if we had a few minutes more, I’m pretty sure that the result was ours. But we take this point. There’s some things that we still feel that we should have done better, but it will tell us in the next two games at home, if we get our results, that this point is valuable.”

“I’m very proud of my team,” Atuesta said. “Because it’s not easy losing 2-0 and then drawing the game like that. It’s good to have that feeling that we almost won the game.”

The Lions will return home to face CF Montreal a week from tonight at Inter&Co Stadium.

Orlando City vs. San Diego FC: Final Score 1-0 as Griezmann’s Goal Enough for Lions Win

Antoine Griezmann’s first-half goal and a stout defensive effort lifted the Lions to a hard-fought home win.

Antoine Griezmann’s first-half goal was all that separated Orlando City and San Diego FC in their first-ever meeting. The French superstar’s teammates had numerous chances to double the lead for Orlando (8-11-4, 28 points), coming within inches at times, but that one strike was enough for a victory over San Diego (8-9-6, 30 points) at Inter.co Stadium.

Orlando City goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau, who lost his father just days ago, made two saves, and a defense that has struggled at times, held firm against San Diego to keep a clean sheet. The club held a moment of silence for Crepeau’s father before the match started.

“My respect for (Crepeau), for his family. We are proud of him in the way he faced this situation, and we support him like the family we are,” Orlando City interim head coach Martin Perelman said after the match. “We should finish the game earlier. We couldn’t, but we defended. We fight. The players did an amazing effort, and now we’re thinking of the next (game).”

Perelman’s lineup featured Crepeau in goal behind a back line of Bernardo Rhein, Robin Jansson, David Brekalo, and Griffin Dorsey. Joran Gerbet and Eduard Atuesta started in central midfield between wingers Ivan Angulo and Justin Ellis with Griezmann and Daryl Dike leading the attack.

The Lions started brightly, creating the first chance just a few minutes after kickoff. Griezmann found Ellis with a nice ball forward. The young attacker got to the ball first but misfired on his initial shot. Ellis eventually regathered and shot but sent his effort wide in the fourth minute. Three minutes later, Griezmann fired from the right channel, but San Diego goalkeeper CJ dos Santos made a good diving save, getting his right hand on it to keep the game scoreless.

Referee Joe Dickerson let the game get physical, ignoring Atuesta getting upended at midfield and a ball that might have had Dike in behind the defense had he not been grabbed and clipped. The big striker didn’t get a clean look at goal as a result of the no calls.

San Diego started to settle into the game as it reached the quarter-hour mark, seeing more of the possession and starting to build some looks at goal. The visitors had the ball in the net off a recycled corner kick in the 13th minute but the play was offside.

A free header by Onni Valakari went wide in the 17th minute as San Diego continued to gain rhythm and look for openings in the Orlando defense.

The Lions started looking more for transition opportunities with San Diego pressing high. One such play nearly came off in the 18th minute. Dorsey sent a ball to the back post on the counter with perhaps better options trailing. Angulo collected it on the left and sent it back in for Griezmann, who tried a bicycle kick but just missed getting onto it. The ball fell to Dorsey for a shot that deflected to Dike. The striker stuck a toe out and made contact with it but couldn’t direct it on frame.

Crepeau made a big save at the near post to deny Anders Dreyer in the 22nd minute, blocking it behind for a corner. Orlando dealt with the set piece and broke the other way. Dorsey had options in transition but he tried to pick out Griezmann and San Diego’s defense headed it behind for an Orlando corner. The ball pinged around off of various heads on the ensuing set piece until Dike was called for a foul on Oscar Verhoeven on an aerial duel.

The Lions broke the scoreless deadlock in the 28th minute. Jansson sent a great long ball over the top for Dike, who turned on the jets and got to it first on the right side of the penalty area. Dike slipped the ball past a defender to Ellis, who turned and found Griezmann. The Frenchman fired a right-footed shot from the right side that found the inside of the left post to make it 1-0. Ellis and Dike picked up assists on Griezmann’s fifth MLS goal in just eight matches.

“I think we just noticed that they’re playing this high line, even when there was no pressure on the ball,” Ellis said. “And when we have center backs like this on the ball, like Robin, David, when you give them time and space, it’s an opportunity, you know. And then (Jansson) puts a nice ball to Daryl — and adding Daryl to the squad and to the team is crucial, you know, because we didn’t really have that threat in behind. But me and Grizi (Griezmann), we like the ball at our feet, but Daryl has like this physical presence, and you know, he got in behind and kept calm, played me, and then I just checked my my shoulder, saw Grizi, and then…I mean every single time I pass him the ball, I have a feeling like he can do something. So that’s why I’m always looking for him. And it was a nice finish.”

The teams paused for a hydration break moments after the goal, and the action slowed as time wound down on the first half. San Diego fired into the side netting in the 38th minute but the play was offside anyway. Orlando’s best opportunity came when Ellis made a good run through traffic a minute later, but the play broke down when he unselfishly tried to slip the ball through traffic to Griezmann and the defense knocked it away.

That was it for the big moments in the opening period and after four minutes of added time, Dickerson blew the halftime whistle.

At the break, San Diego held the advantage in possession (55.6%-44.4%), passing accuracy (92.9%-90.1%), and corners (2-1). The Lions attempted more shots (6-3) and put more on target (2-1).

The teams opened the second half cautiously, with San Diego continuing to press high in the attacking end. Perelman made his first substitution in the 51st minute, sending Martin Ojeda in for Rhein, who played well in his return from a thigh injury.

Ellis made a good move to lead Orlando on the break in the 53rd minute. Dike fired from the right but Ian Murphy deflected it wide for a corner, but the Lions didn’t threaten from the set piece.

Ojeda worked himself free for an open shot just outside the box in the 59th minute but dos Santos went down to make a diving stop.

Atuesta won a corner on the recycled attack but again Orlando couldn’t pay it off.

Gabriel Pirani shot wide of the right post from the left for San Diego in the 69th minute on a shot that had little on it. Crepeau simply watched it roll gently out for a goal kick.

The Lions should have doubled the lead in the 72nd minute. Ojeda found Angulo in transition, putting the speedy attacker in on goal. Angulo rounded dos Santos despite a heavy touch and had a wide-open net. He went down from a light tug on the shoulder as he shot but got nothing on his effort, which Kieran Sargeant blocked on the line. Angulo wanted a penalty but it wasn’t much of a tug and he still should have scored. A yellow card was shown to the Orlando bench at the next stoppage for dissent.

Orlando had a couple of other near misses down the stretch. Ojeda showed he isn’t quite game sharp yet, as he and Griezmann nearly connected in the 84th minute. The Lions managed to win a corner off of it but couldn’t connect on the set piece. Substitute Luis Otavio picked up a yellow card to break up a potential counter off of the corner.

Substitute Tyrese Spicer got down the left flank in the 87th minute and sent a tantalizing low cross that somehow failed to find Ojeda or Marco Pasalic in the middle. Griezmann picked it up on the far right but dos Santos blocked his shot behind for another corner.

Midfielder Wilder Cartagena thought he’d scored on the ensuing set piece. The ball fell for him near the top of the area and he fired it toward goal. The ball looked like it hit the crossbar and then came off Manu Duah’s rear end and fell at the goal line. Part of the ball was across, but not the whole ball, and the spin carried it back out for San Diego to clear.

Nine minutes of stoppage time seemed like a lot, but there was little of note in those added minutes. San Diego’s best chance at an equalizer fell to Dreyer just outside the area right in the middle. The Designated Player fired a shot that hit the right post and stayed out, skipping out of play for a goal kick. After a late set piece, the match was over.

At full time, San Diego held the advantage in possession (54.2%-45.8%) and passing accuracy (91.5%-88.3%). Orlando City finished with more shots (15-7), shots on target (5-2), and corner, kicks (6-4).

“The win was very important,” Crepeau said. “We started the game confidently with the ball. Obviously, we were able to to hit them when their line was high sometimes, and then they were dangerous in transition in a couple of those moments, but we were able to shut the dangerous plays, and then the second half it was about finishing the game strong.”

It was obviously an emotional shutout win for the Canadian goalkeeper, which was visible when the final whistle blew.

“I’m grateful to be in a place where I’ve had so much support and love from my teammates, the staff, everybody in the organization, the city of Orlando,” Crepeau said. “I’ve had so many messages from all around the world, former teammates, even guys that I’ve played against, from Canada to the U.S., coast to coast. I’ve received so many messages. So, thank you to every single one of of the people that reached out. It’s something that I’m grateful (for), and I don’t take that support for granted.”

The Lions have a short turnaround with a road match Wednesday night in Atlanta.

Welcome to your match preview and live thread for a Saturday night matchup between Orlando City (7-11-4, 25 points) and San Diego FC (8-8-6, 30 points) at Inter.co Stadium in Orlando (7:30 p.m., Apple TV). It’s the first-ever meeting between these two teams from different conferences

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

History

As mentioned above, tonight’s meeting between the Lions and San Diego is the first in the series history, so there is no history. The Lions are 2-2-1 against Western Conference teams this season, which means little to nothing in this particular match, and San Diego is going to be Orlando City’s final opponent from the opposite conference in MLS regular-season play this season.

Overview

The Lions are coming off a wild 3-3 road draw at Minnesota United a week ago, in which Daryl Dike and Antoine Griezmann scored on either side of halftime on Orlando’s first two shot attempts to put their team up 2-0 in the 64th minute. Minnesota stormed back with three goals off defensive errors in a four-minute span to take a late 3-2 lead. Just when the Loons appeared to be headed for all three points, Tyrese Spicer scored in stoppage time, forcing Minnesota to split the points. Orlando has a modest 1-0-1 unbeaten streak entering tonight, and the Lions are 5-4-2 at home in 2026.

San Diego is coming off a 3-1 home win over the LA Galaxy despite having Jeppe Tverskov sent off. Tonight’s visitors have won two straight games, but both were at home. They lost their last home game 3-1 at Portland on Aug. 19 and are 2-5-3 away from home this season.

The key for Orlando City tonight will be to mark Anders Dreyer, which is far easier said than done, as he has emerged as one of the league’s best playmakers. His eight goals and 11 assists give him 19 total goal contributions to lead his team. Marcus Ingvartsen is Dreyer’s favorite teammate to combine with, as the Danish forward has converted 11 times, leading San Diego in goals, and has added five assists. However, Ingvartsen is listed as out with a lower body injury. Midfielder Onni Valakari has chipped in four goals and seven assists.

“We respect San Diego, but as well we prepare our game,” Orlando City interim head coach Martin Perelman said ahead of the match. “We know how strong we are, especially at home, so now we go.”

Orlando City will be without Braian Ojeda (foot) and Adrian Marin (thigh), while Bernardo Rhein (thigh), has been upgraded to questionable. San Diego will be without the aforementioned Ingvartsen (lower body) and Tverskov (suspension).

Orlando City vs. San Diego FC: Three Keys to Victory

Here’s what Orlando needs to do in order to return to winning ways against San Diego.

After the disappointment of two dropped points against Minnesota on Saturday, Orlando City is back home with an opportunity to get things back on track. The Lions need to keep picking up points if they want to keep pace in an increasingly crowded Eastern Conference, and Saturday’s game is a good chance to start September off on the right note. San Diego FC stands in the way of that good start, and what follows are three things that I believe Orlando needs to do in order to emerge victorious from this game.

Stay Strong on the Left

The left side of the defense has been a question mark for the Lions for much of the year. Adrian Marin, Bernardo Rhein, and Zakaria Taifi have all spent time at left back lately and have done so with varying degrees of success. Regardless of who suits up there on Saturday, that area of the field will be under scrutiny once again, since they’ll be tasked with stopping San Diego right winger Anders Dreyer. He has eight goals and 11 assists in 21 appearances this year, has played 60 key passes during that time, and is generally the lynchpin through which the San Diego offense operates. He hasn’t quite been on the same pace that saw him bag 19 goals and 19 assists in the regular season last year, but with four goal contributions in his last three MLS appearances, he’s extremely capable of wreaking havoc from the wing. A lot of the goals OCSC has conceded lately have come down the left side of the defense, and if that area of the field can’t be taken care of better, the Lions will likely be in for a difficult night.

Do Damage in Transition

Orlando’s current style of positionless, fluid, attacking soccer is at its best when it comes up against teams that want to come out and play. It struggles mightily against defensive bunkers but shines when the Lions can get out and run, target open spaces, and combine with teammates in unexpected areas. Fortunately for OCSC (in theory), San Diego is a team that likes to have the ball, as it has the highest average possession in the league. That means the Lions will have opportunities to force turnovers and break the other way at pace. In order to make that happen though, OCSC will need to be both disciplined and effective when it comes to applying its press. Then, if/when the Lions win the ball, correct decision-making and clinical execution in the final third will be key to avoid letting any chances slip through their fingers (paws?).

Clean Up the Self-Inflicted Errors

Orlando has dealt with more than its fair share of general defensive struggles this year, but avoidable errors have been a particular problem in recent weeks. Whether it’s been an ill-advised challenge, passing to the opposition in the defensive third, or leaving men unmarked in the box, unnecessary mistakes have cost OCSC points time and again. Against lesser opposition it hasn’t always mattered, as the Lions were able to rescue three points against Real Salt Lake, but if Orlando wants to make a playoff push, it needs to make a habit of playing cleaner games, plain and simple. San Diego is a good team with dangerous offensive players, and Saturday’s visitors will very likely take advantage of any opportunities that the Lions gift-wrap for them. Keeping things mistake-free will go a long way.

We’ve got ample proof this season that nothing is guaranteed, but if the Lions can lock down the left side of the defense, make hay in transition moments, and limit unforced errors, then they should be in a good position to take all three points from Saturday’s game. Vamos Orlando!
