Orlando City’s bad habit of blowing late leads at Inter&Co Stadium continued tonight as the Lions played Pumas UNAM to a 1-1 draw before falling 4-3 in a penalty shootout in their Leagues Cup opener. Officially the road team for this match, Orlando City got an early goal from the unlikely source of Rodrigo Schlegel early in the match, but failed to create much against the Liga MX side throughout the game, attempting just seven shots, with only Schlegel’s threatening the target.

Pumas took advantage of the Lions failing to put them away, with former Houston Dynamo star Adalberto Carrasquilla scoring a late goal to end normal time at 1-1 and sending the match to penalties.

It was the third consecutive match in this stadium in which Orlando led 1-0 late and failed to win the match.

“We had a good first half, very competitive, and we didn’t have plenty control of the game, but we did have ideas,” Orlando City Head Coach Oscar Pareja said after the match. “And we not just scored first, but I thought we have much more volume in attack. That gave us the sensation that we could increase (the lead) in the second half. The second half…they started pushing and we lost control of the ball. We started using the long balls and we couldn’t find a way to get out of that pressure.”

Pareja’s starting lineup featured only one change from the team that took the field Saturday in Columbus. Ramiro Enrique replaced Luis Muriel in the starting XI. Pedro Gallese started in goal behind a back line of David Brekalo, Robin Jansson, Rodrigo Schlegel, and Alex Freeman. Cesar Araujo and Eduard Atuesta started in central midfield between wingers Ivan Angulo and Marco Pasalic, with Martin Ojeda and Enrique up top.

Pumas started with some energy, going on the attack in the first moments of the game, with Alvaro Angulo flashing a shot from the left just wide of the right post in the second minute.

Orlando’s first foray up the field nearly put Ojeda in alone on goal, but his first touch was a bit off and all he could do was win a corner kick. That turned out to be a good thing. Ojeda took the set piece himself and found Schlegel in the mass of bodies in front of goal. The center back got his head to the cross and knocked it in off the right post past Keylor Navas to give the Lions a 1-0 lead in the fifth minute.

“Happy to score again but a little bit heated for what happened with not being able to score after that,” Schlegel said.

It was Schlegel’s first goal in any competition since scoring against FC Dallas on Sept. 28, 2024.

The game settled into a bit more of a chess match over the next 30 minutes after the goal, with each side winning set pieces here and there but doing nothing with them. The Lions always seemed about to create a dangerous chance, only to have an untidy touch blow up the attack.

Eventually the Liga MX side started growing more into the game and created some chances. Jorgen Ruvalcaba fired from the top of the area off a partially cleared corner kick in the 32nd minute, but the Lions blocked the shot out in front.

A minute later, Pasalic sent a beautiful ball from right to left for Ivan Angulo, who did well with his first touch but sailed his cross over an open Freeman at the back post.

Pumas started getting more bite into the attack as the rain began to fall in Orlando, with Pedro Vite having a shot blocked wide in the 37th minute. Alvaro Angulo’s shot took a deflection a minute later and was on target, but Gallese was able to recover from his initial movement to make a vital save. Guillermo Martinez fizzed a header over the bar in the 40th minute.

Near the end of the half, things got chippy. Freeman was wrestled to the ground by Ruvalcaba behind the play as Pumas attacked in the 44th minute and referee Adonai Escobedo let play go on for some reason. When Freeman retaliated, he cautioned both players, so if the first one was a yellow card offense, play should have stopped and a free kick awarded to Orlando.

Two minutes later, Brekalo was fouled from behind in an obvious attempt to slow down play. The Slovenian tried to fight off his opponent only for his hand to get up in the head and neck area, and he was the second OCSC player into the books. Ivan Angulo then got booked during the same stoppage. The Pumas player who committed the foul got nothing.

Ojeda had his shot blocked in front deep in stoppage time and Orlando could do nothing with a pair of corners on the final attacking sequences of the first half.

At the break, Pumas had the advantage in possession (50.4%-49.6%) and shots (7-3). Orlando City led in corners (5-4) and passing accuracy (92.5%-86.7%). Each team put one shot on target.

“I think we played a great first half, and we were really dominating the game within the game,” Schlegel said. “And then the second half, we had a little bit more difficulty, just due to the situation in the game. They were down. They had to start coming out of their area more, and I think it made things difficult on us.”

Pumas owned the second half. Orlando didn’t play like a team interested in adding to its lead for the first 15 minutes, and after that, the Lions dropped deep and allowed the Liga MX side to have the ball, which never seemed like a good idea, and it turned out not to be. Pumas grew confident and created, while easily carving out any counter opportunities Orlando City had in mind.

The Lions took the first shot of the second half but created no danger from it. Ojeda tried to chip Navas from the left side in the 47th minute, but his shot sailed high over the goal.

Two minutes later, Alvaro Angulo fired the first warning shot of the second half, blasting an effort from distance on the left that Gallese fought off. Ruvalcaba fired wide to the right in the 59th minute when given too much space. Pumas scored in the 65th minute, but the play was obviously offside and the flag came up quickly. The flag saved Freeman some blushes, as the young fullback had a chance to clear just prior to that but turned the ball over in the defensive third.

Orlando worked a rare counterattack in the 68th minute that ended up on Pasalic’s foot just outside the area. The Croatian fired but his shot fizzed over the crossbar on his last involvement of the match. He and Enrique were soon replaced by Kyle Smith and Muriel.

Pumas fired another warning shot in the 73rd minute, getting in behind the defense for a 1-v-1 opportunity against Gallese, who made the save, but the flag again came up, nullifying the play.

Carrasquilla scored the goal that always seemed likely in the 80th minute. Playing a quick give-and-go with Piero Quispe, the Panamanian international made a quick, darting run to get onto the return ball and fired it just inside the right post to tie the match at 1-1. The Lions felt Jansson had been held on the play, preventing him from peeling off of his man to intervene, but no foul was given and there didn’t appear to be a review.

“I couldn’t see (the goal) too well from from where I was, but from my perspective, they committed a foul on Robin,” Schlegel said. “But, you know, it’s past. We have to focus on the next game now to go out and get as many points as we can.”

Pumas added another offside goal in the 88th minute, but it was a close play. There was a close call in the buildup that looked just off on the replay, and the flag had come up immediately. Video assistant referee Diana Perez Borja took a lengthy look at it, but ultimately the call on the field stood, and it appeared to be the right call.

Neither team managed another decent sight of goal in normal time and the game went to penalties to determine which team left the match with the additional shootout point.

At full time, Pumas held the advantage in possession (53.6%-46.4%), shots (17-7), and shots on target (4-1), Orlando City passed more accurately (88.6%-87.7%). Both teams won six corners.

Although Leagues Cup rules claim there are no draws, each team had a point, which would suggest there are draws, as there are in MLS NEXT Pro. The games go immediately to penalty shootouts with the winner of the spot kicks awarded a second point in the League Phase standings.

The shootout started much like the game itself. Orlando City dominated the first round, with Ojeda blasting his spot kick into the upper right corner to make it 1-0 with the first shot. Gallese then made a terrific diving save to deny Martinez.

The Lions quickly threw their advantage away. Eduard Atuesta, who has not been the most lethal finisher this season, was Orlando’s second shooter. To his credit, he beat Navas. However, he hit his shot too high and his penalty smashed off the crossbar and bounced back toward him. Alvaro Angulo leveled the shootout after two rounds, and Smith and Nathan Silva both scored in the third round.

Araujo was Orlando’s fourth shooter, making it three consecutive defensive midfielders. The Uruguayan’s penalty was poor, as he fired at a comfortable height for Navas, who read him correctly and made the save look easy. Quispe scored to put Orlando on the brink.

Muriel kept the Lions’ hopes alive by burying his kick, but Carrasquilla made no mistake, scoring on the final shot to claim the second point for Pumas.

“We cannot get that close of the game with more personality,” Pareja said. “That’s why I’m frustrated now. But I have to see the whole game. Very competitive against a good rival, and the boys did a bunch of good things.”

“I think it was a good game, until the last minutes, when we lost the focus and concentration,” Pasalic said. “We had a good feeling. The last game result was really good. Really good chemistry. But this is football and this happens.”

The Lions have another quick turnaround, hosting Atlas in the second League Phase match of Leagues Cup on Saturday at 6 p.m.

Welcome to your match thread for a Saturday afternoon matchup between Orlando City (3-7-1, 10 points) and CF Montreal (3-7-0, 9 points) at Stade Saputo (4:30 p.m., Apple TV). It’s the second of two scheduled meetings between the Eastern Conference rivals in 2026, wrapping up the regular-season series early.

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

History

The Lions are 9-9-7 against Montreal in the all-time regular-season series and 11-10-7 in all competitions since they joined MLS. OCSC is 4-5-3 in MLS road games against Montreal in the regular season and 4-6-3 in all matches played away to Montreal (this includes a “road” match at Red Bull Arena during pandemic protocols).

The teams met earlier this season on March 14, with Orlando City winning 2-1 — the club’s first win of the season and its first victory in interim head coach Martin Perelman’s inaugural match at the helm. Duncan McGuire and Martin Ojeda scored on either side of a Prince Owusu goal with all of the scoring coming in the first half.

Prior to the start of the 2026 season, the most recent meeting was a 1-1 draw in Orlando on July 12, 2025. Ojeda gave the Lions a lead that appeared set to hold up, but Rodrigo Schlegel’s foul in the box on Owusu allowed the Montreal forward to level the match late from the spot. That was the second of two matches that failed to find a winner last year. The teams played to a scoreless draw in Montreal on April 19. The Lions’ efforts at bringing home a road win took a hit in the second half when Rafael Santos was sent off.

The teams met in Orlando in the 2024 Leagues Cup on July 26, with the Lions running rampant in a 4-1 home victory. Dagur Dan Thorhallsson, Facundo Torres, Ramiro Enrique, and Ojeda staked Orlando to a 4-0 lead. Josef Martinez scored for Montreal, although his bid for a brace was denied when Pedro Gallese stopped his penalty kick attempt.

The two sides met in Montreal on April 20, 2024 trading goals in a 2-2 draw at Stade Saputo. Mason Toye opened the scoring early, but Torres equalized from the spot a few minutes later. Ariel Lassiter appeared to win it late in normal time for the hosts, but Ivan Angulo struck in stoppage time to earn Orlando City a road point. These teams opened the 2024 season against each other in Orlando and played to a 0-0 draw. The Lions dominated the stat sheet but had a goal waved off for offside and simply weren’t lethal enough.

The teams met twice in 2023, completing the season series on Sept. 30, 2023, with Orlando winning 3-0 in dominant fashion. Jonathan Sirois’ own goal opened the scoring, and Thorhallsson and Torres added strikes for Orlando City. That revenge for OCSC, after Montreal defeated Orlando City 2-0 on May 6 at Stade Saputo. A Robin Jansson own goal got Montreal started in the second half and Romell Quioto added a second goal four minutes later.

These two sides played their biggest game against each other in the 2022 MLS playoffs, with CF Montreal knocking Orlando City out of the postseason by a 2-0 scoreline on Oct. 16, with goals by Ismael Kone and Djordje Mihailovic — the latter coming deep in stoppage time from the penalty spot.

Each team won at home in the two-game, regular-season series in 2022, with Montreal thumping Orlando 4-1 on May 7. Joel Waterman, Mihailovic, Joaquin Torres, and Zachary Brault-Guillard did the damage on the scoreboard and Orlando City managed just two shot attempts, with Joao Moutinho’s goal on a set piece spoiling the shutout. Orlando City did not have either starting center back for that match, and it showed. The teams also met on opening day of the 2022 season, when Orlando City captured a 2-0 home win behind second-half goals from Alexandre Pato and Benji Michel.

In 2021, the teams met in Montreal with the Lions earning a 2-0 road victory on Decision Day to clinch a playoff spot. Sebas Mendez and Daryl Dike provided the goals. That season’s matchup in Orlando came on Oct. 20, 2021, with the visitors managing a 1-1 draw. Chris Mueller struck for the Lions just before halftime, but Rudy Camacho answered on a corner kick header shortly after the restart. The first meeting of 2021 took place Sept. 15 in Orlando with the Lions falling 4-2 and finishing the game with just nine men after both Nani and Andres Perea were sent off. Quioto led Montreal with a goal and two assists. Mathieu Choiniere and Quioto put Montreal up 2-0, but despite already being down one man, Jansson and Ruan tied things up. The visitors got two more from Lassi Lappalainen and Sunusi Ibrahim.

The teams met at Red Bull Arena in late 2020, as the team then known as the Montreal Impact played home games in New Jersey due to the pandemic. Orlando City got a Dike goal in the 39th minute to win 1-0 on Nov. 1, 2020. It was the second meeting of the 2020 season, with Orlando also beating Montreal 1-0 in the MLS is Back Tournament knockout rounds on July 25 to advance to the quarterfinals. Tesho Akindele scored the game’s only goal on a Montreal defensive mistake.

Orlando City snapped a six-game winless streak against Montreal (0-5-1) in MLS regular-season play dating back to 2016 when the Lions put the Impact to the sword in a 3-0 drubbing at Stade Saputo on June 1, 2019. Nani (penalty), Akindele, and Will Johnson supplied the offense that day. The Lions fell 3-1 at Exploria Stadium on March 16, 2019, and Ignacio Piatti was a big reason why, scoring his ninth and 10th career goals against Orlando, adding to a strike by Orji Okwonkwo. Dom Dwyer added a cosmetic goal late for Orlando City.

Montreal did not allow a goal against the Lions in 2018, sweeping the two-game set, and the Impact shut out Orlando City in three of the six meetings in that 5-0-1 run. The lone draw in that time frame was a 3-3 shootout in Orlando in 2017, in which the Impact led deep in stoppage time, only to see Jonathan Spector’s well-placed header steal the Lions a point.

Orlando won the first two meetings in 2016 by a combined score of 6-2. The teams split three meetings in 2015, with each going 1-1-1.

Overview

Orlando City is heading into its fourth consecutive road game in all competitions and is coming off a dramatic 4-3 comeback win over rival Inter Miami a week ago. Trailing 3-0, the Lions rallied behind Ojeda’s hat trick and Tyrese Spicer’s late winner to stun the Herons and become the first team to record an MLS win at Nu Stadium. Having a full week off between games for the first time since the second week of April might mitigate the natural tendency for a team to suffer a letdown after an emotional win, but the Lions have quietly won three of their last four matches in all competitions despite conceding nine goals in that span, because they’ve scored 14 of their own. Ojeda has scored five of his seven goals this season over that set of matches, climbing into the Golden Boot race, while Homegrown Justin Ellis has a four-match point streak in all competitions.

The Lions are still just 1-4-1 away from home in MLS play this season, so despite winning the first meeting back in March, they’ll need to stay focused for 90 minutes to get a result in Quebec.

Montreal, meanwhile, has gotten off to a rougher start than Orlando City this season. While the Lions sit 13th in the Eastern Conference with 10 points, Montreal is in 14th on nine points, but has a game in hand, is 2-1-0 in its three home matches this season, and has won its last two at Stade Saputo in league play and its last three on its home ground in all competitions. Tonight’s hosts are coming off a 5-0 home win over Alberta Premier League side Calgary Blizzard SC in the Canadian Championship on Wednesday using a mixed lineup of regulars and rotational players. CF Montreal last played an MLS match a week ago, lowing 3-1 at Atlanta United.

Owusu, who scored in the first meeting this season, is easily the biggest threat on the Canadian side, with six goals and four assists in 10 appearances. Wikelman Carmona has added three goals and two assists from the Montreal midfield.

To get the win tonight, Orlando’s defense must show up. The Lions can’t count on putting three or four goals in the net each game, especially as these consecutive road matches continue to add up. A better showing from the defense is needed, as the team continues to bleed goals and has surrendered a league-worst 32 in 2026. Montreal’s defense is fourth worst in the Eastern Conference having conceded 23 times in 10 games but held the Lions to two in Orlando in March.

“They changed their coach, so that changed a lot of things for them that we’ve analyzed, just like they’ve analyzed us,” Perelman said ahead of the match. “We’re going to prepare for the game like we always do, knowing they’re at home. We want to go there with a lot of energy, fighting as always for the points, because at the end of the day, that’s what we want.”

Orlando City will be without Joran Gerbet (knee), while Nolan Miller (knee) and Marco Pasalic (thigh) are listed as questionable. Montreal will be without Fabian Herbers (lower body), Owen Graham-Roache (lower body), Bode Hidalgo (lower body), Hennadii Synchuk (lower Body), Josh-Duc Nteziryayo (lower body), and Brayan Vera (suspension).

Orlando City Has Chance to Finish Strong Before World Cup Break

The Lions have an opportunity to make up some ground in the Eastern Conference before the World Cup break.

Orlando City only has four more league games to play before Major League Soccer takes a break until late July to accommodate the World Cup. While the Lions have started to move in the right direction with two wins in their last three league games, the good guys still sit 13th in the Eastern Conference table. Fortunately, Orlando has a good opportunity to make up some ground in the standings before the league goes on its summer sabbatical. Let’s take a look at why.

For one thing, despite the rough start to Orlando’s season, the Eastern Conference as a whole hasn’t had a particularly strong go of things either. Nashville SC is atop the standings with 23 points, but no other team has eclipsed the 20-point mark, and Orlando is just five points behind fifth place D.C. United. Contrast that to the Western Conference, where the San Jose Earthquakes have 28 points at the top of the table, five teams have 20 or more points, and Orlando would be 10 points out of fifth place.

Another factor in OCSC’s favor is who it’ll play in its next four games. The Lions will only face one team currently above the playoff line, while they’ll also take on the two teams directly below them, and the team directly above them in the standings.

First up is Saturday”s road match against CF Montreal — a team the Lions have beaten already this year — which currently sits one point and one place below Orlando in the table. After that, Orlando gets a midweek game on Wednesday when it hosts the Philadelphia Union. Philly is currently last in the East with six points, and while the Union’s 17 goals conceded is actually sixth best in the conference, the total of nine goals the team has scored is comfortably the worst.

A few days after hosting Philly at home, Orlando will welcome Atlanta United to Inter&Co Stadium on Saturday, May16. The Five Stripes are currently level with OCSC on points but sit one spot ahead of the Lions in the standings due to a superior goal difference. The toughest test, at least on paper, will come in the final game before the break when the Lions travel to face sixth-place FC Cincinnati. Anything can obviously happen once the games are being played, but in theory this stretch of the schedule is a more welcoming one than the period that saw Orlando play New York City FC, Nashville, and LAFC on the road in quick succession.

Then there’s the state of the Lions themselves. The defense admittedly still needs some work, as Orlando is yet to keep a clean sheet in the league and has conceded fewer than two goals in only four of its 11 games. Thankfully, the offense is improving though. Orlando has scored 10 goals in its last three league games, and bagged an additional four against a heavily rotated New England Revolution side in the U.S. Open Cup.

Outside of the actual product on the field, OCSC is slowly but surely starting to get healthier. Eduard Atuesta and Wilder Cartagena have both made returns from injury, Robin Jansson has been back in the starting lineup for a few games now, and Duncan McGuire also made an appearance from the bench in the 4-3 win over Inter Miami. Injuries haven’t been the only thing that have hampered Orlando this year, but they certainly haven’t made life any easier either, and having key players back is never going to be a bad thing.

Given how topsy turvy this season has been so far, it’s anyone’s guess as to how these next four games will play out on the field. But given the middling state of the Eastern Conference, the quality of the upcoming opponents, Orlando’s improved offense, and an increasing pool of healthy players, the Lions have a good opportunity to start digging themselves out of the hole they find themselves in at the bottom of the standings. The games still need to be played, but given how hopeless things looked in March, it’s just nice to have some reasons to be hopeful. Now all the Lions need to do is take advantage of the chance in front of them. Vamos Orlando!

Happy Friday, Mane Landers! We have some exciting games ahead of us over the next few days, with three straight days of Orlando soccer to enjoy. It all starts with the Orlando Pride’s game tonight, with Orlando City playing Saturday afternoon, and Orlando City B wrapping things up on Sunday. Make sure to plan your weekend accordingly! Let’s get to the links.

Orlando City Gets Ready for Road Match

The Lions are on the road this weekend for a game in Canada against CF Montreal on Saturday. Orlando is coming off of a dramatic 4-3 win over rival Inter Miami, with Martin Ojeda scoring a hat trick. Ojeda has had Montreal’s number in recent years, scoring at least once against the Canadian club each year for the past three years. Orlando hasn’t lost to Montreal since 2023, but it also hasn’t won on the road against Montreal since 2021. Saturday’s match will also be a reunion of sorts for goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau, who joined Montreal’s academy at age 15 and played there for nine years. He was excellent in Orlando’s win in Miami, so hopefully he can keep it up in his home country.

Orlando Pride Host North Carolina Courage Tonight

The Orlando Pride are back in action tonight with a home game against the North Carolina Courage. Both teams are coming off of losses last week, with the Pride falling 4-2 to the Washington Spirit. Tonight’s match will pit the league’s top two scorers against each other, with Barbra Banda scoring seven so far while Ashley Sanchez has scored five. The Pride will play three consecutive road games after tonight, putting an emphasis on a strong showing at home. It’s also Survivor Night at the stadium, so make sure to bring any immunity idols if you’ll be in attendance. The Pride could use any advantage they can get.

Johnny Cardoso Injured Ahead of World Cup

Atletico Madrid announced that American midfielder Johnny Cardoso was diagnosed with an ankle sprain he sustained in training, casting doubt on his availability for the World Cup next month. He’ll now work on rehabilitation before the club provides a timetable for his return. The 24-year-old started in the United States Men’s National Team’s game against Belgium in March, but he had to exit that camp due to injury as well. Hopefully he has a smooth and successful recovery from this.

English Clubs Reach European Finals

Aston Villa beat Nottingham Forest 4-0 in the Europa League, overcoming a loss in the first leg to secure a spot in the final. John McGinn scored twice to help his team reach its first major European final since 1982. Villa will play in the final on May 20 against SC Freiburg, which also bounced back from a loss in the first leg by beating Braga 3-1 in Germany. A red card to Mario Dorgeles in the sixth minute reduced Braga to 10 men early on and Lukas Kubler bagged a brace for Freiburg.

In the Europa Conference League, Crystal Palace won 2-1 against Shakhtar Donetsk to advance to the final on May 27 against Rayo Vallecano. As a result of this week’s semifinals across the continent, English clubs are in contention to win the Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League.

Free Kicks

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