Orlando City Players Who May Contend For End-of-Year Awards

As one of the world’s leading connoisseurs of television shows, I was, of course, glued to my couch to watch every second of the Emmy Awards on Sunday night, with a bowl of popcorn on my left, a bowl of snacks on my right, and a throw pillow handy at all times so I could scream into it (my kids were asleep) when my favorite actors and shows were robbed of their rightful opportunities to bloviate into a microphone after winning their category.

I’m kidding, of the 36 programs that were nominated for the seven major awards, I watched seven of them, a paltry 19%, and it surprised me that it was even that high of a percentage. With what little free time I have, I like to watch sports — soccer in particular.

I may not be the biggest fan of tv shows, but I do like awards, and so with the Emmys in the recent rearview mirror, I thought I would revisit our old friend “goals added,” which I wrote about a month ago, and use the Emmys as a model to see how Orlando City’s players are doing in the positional rankings going into the final weeks of the MLS regular season. So without further ado, and completely without Freddy Adu, let’s get on with the show.

The article I linked to in the previous paragraph contains the particulars around the calculation of goals added, but my TL;DR (for my mom, and any others, that’s “too long; didn’t read”) refresher is that soccer is about goals, so goals added (g+) is a measure of the value of a player in terms of creating goals and preventing goals. The more goals added, the more valuable the player.

The team at American Soccer Analysis has its formula for g+, but instead of looking at the raw calculations of g+ for every player, for this article I wanted to use a different metric on offer, which is g+ above average. This metric takes into account the average performance of a player at a given position, and then compares every other player’s performance to that of an average player.

For example, suppose there is an MLS player, let’s name him Werdna Ovlased, and he is a striker who has a g+ above average of 9.0. That 9.0 means that this player is worth nine goals more than the average striker in MLS. Pretty simple concept, right? Someone should sign him that Ovlased to a multi-million dollar contract, posthaste.

The average player is obviously worth zero goals added above average, because of the laws of mathematics (thank you Archimedes, for the gift that keeps on giving), but each position has a different contribution to goals added, as you will see from the box and whiskers (sometimes just called a boxplot, but that is not as fun to say/write as box and whiskers) chart below. I have been waiting to break out this type of chart, and the appropriate time was right here, right now. Feel free to take a second to queue up Fatboy Slim, because I know that song just came to mind after seeing “right here, right now” in print. [Editor’s note: I’m going with the Jesus Jones song by the same name. Sorry, Andrew!]

If, for some reason, you forgot what a box and whiskers chart was, it is a chart that shows the middle 50% (i.e. the values between the 25th percentile and 75th percentile) of all values inside of a rectangle, and then there is a bottom “whisker” and a top “whisker” that extends either to the maximum value or to 1.5 times the length of the rectangle (called the interquartile range, or IQR), whichever comes first. What this does is show the viewer where the middle 50% perform, and also a reasonable value for a top performance and a bottom performance. As you will see below, however, a box and whiskers chart also shows outliers, which are the performances that are either below or above the whiskers. These are players who are performing way better, or way worse, than the average player.

My guess is that, just like back in high school, it will make more sense when you see it rather than reading about it, so here are the box and whiskers charts by position (the positions are on the bottom) for MLS, with data through Sept. 15:

This is an image of a series of box and whiskers charts, one for each position on the soccer field.

Each circle on the chart represents the g+ above average for a player who has played more than 430 minutes (including stoppage time) thus far this season (there are 536 players who meet this threshold). I usually use 500 minutes as a cutoff, but Son Heung-Min from LAFC has played just more than 430 minutes, so I decided to make the cutoff low enough to include him, as he is already contributing majorly to his team and is among the best players in the league. As you can see from the chart, there are some wide variations by position for goals added (higher is better on this chart, and yes, some players have negative values for their g+ above average, which means they are performing below average, even though the metric is called g+ above average. Fun with words!).

Goalkeepers, by nature of the requirements of their position, contribute majorly to goals added, since every save by definition prevents a goal. Central midfielders and Defensive midfielders have a pretty tight middle 50%, and show very few outlier performances thus far this season. A certain striker who plays in “Miami” is a massive outlier as compared to the average player at his position, but so is a fullback who plays in the same state. More on him in a little bit.

As this is an Orlando City-focused site I am not going to go into detail on the leaders across the league at every position, but rather, using the Emmys as an inspiration, focus on which Orlando City players are finalists for “Outstanding Player at X Position.” If you take a look at the chart below, it looks remarkably similar to the one I just showed, except I have also added purple arrows pointing to the 17 Orlando City players who have played at least 430 minutes in MLS play. I kept Ramiro Enrique (he ranks right behind Luis Muriel), but I did not include an arrow for Rafael Santos.

This is the same image as the previous chart, but with arrows showing that point to Orlando City players and where they are in each box and whiskers chart

We will start with the good news, which is that of the players who have played the most minutes for the Lions this season, most are playing at an above-average level. This is good, and for a team that for most of the season has been around the top 10 in the overall league standings and went deep into Leagues Cup, not that surprising.

Four players stand out among the Lions, as each are in the top 10 at their positions. Two of those players, Eduard Atuesta as a center midfielder and Marco Pašalić as a winger, would definitely be strongly considered as candidates for Outstanding Player at their position, but as they rank ninth (Atuesta) and eighth (Pašalić), they pretty quickly would fall out of consideration once voters picked up their ballots.

The two who will receive serious evaluation for our made up “Outstanding Player” award and also for the real end-of-seasons awards of MLS Best XI and other individual awards are, unsurprisingly for anyone who has watched Orlando City this season, Martín Ojeda and Alex Freeman.

Ojeda ranks third behind Evander (1) and Carles Gil (2), and while he is considerably behind Evander in the attacking midfielder rankings, he is right behind Gil for second and well above Albert Rusnák in fourth. After that debacle in D.C. last weekend, Ojeda needs to get his mojo back and get the offense going again for the final few games, but that does not take away from what has been a tremendous season to this point.

As well as Ojeda has played, Freeman is on track to becoming the second Orlando City player in the club’s MLS era to finish the season ranked as the best player at his position (Araújo ranked first among defensive midfielders in 2023). Freeman has a g+ above average of 4.59 as compared to the average MLS fullback, and the second place player is at 3.09, so Orlando City’s right back is performing nearly 50% better than the player ranked in second place in the entire league! The gap between first and second is as large as the gap between second and ninth, which is a testament to the all-around performance of Freeman this season.

Awards, whether contrived or real, are nice but what really matters are the results on the scoreboard. We will all remember the great seasons from Freeman and Ojeda and the solid debut seasons from Atuesta and Pašalić, but what we really want to remember are five wins in the postseason, because banners fly in the stadium for championships and not individual awards.

Here’s to hoping that at the end of the season many Orlando City players, coaches, and front office personnel are bloviating into a microphone like those winners at the Emmys on Sunday night. If so, you will find me front and center in downtown Orlando after awarding myself a day off to soak in a championship.

Vamos Orlando!

Orlando City vs. Real Salt Lake: Five Takeaways

Here’s what we learned from Orlando City’s 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake.

Orlando City hosted Real Salt Lake at Inter.co Stadium Saturday, and it was a tale of two halves. The first half was one of the most boring first halves of soccer ever, and the second half was a wild free-for-all with Orlando City coming to life. The Lions were able to earn all three points at home, defeating RSL 2-1. Here are my five takeaways from the match.

An Inevitable Goal

Orlando City put out a mostly first-choice team on short rest, while RSL rotated pretty heavily due to their schedule congestion and a Leagues Cup knockout match coming up on Tuesday.The Lions had the majority of the possession through the first 35 mintues, while RSL was able to send the ball over the top a few times early, but the visitors kept getting the timing wrong against Orlando’s high line, resulting in offside calls. That was until the 36th minute, when Dominik Marczuk managed to stay onside, blazed past Zakaria Taifi, and was all alone on the back post. It wasn’t hard to put it in from there. Orlando City had the better of the play up to that point, but it still felt like Real Salt Lake’s goal was more likely.

Possession Without Purpose

Despite holding 58% possession in the first half, Orlando City managed to get exactly zero shots on goal on zero shots total. Zero shots taken the entire first half! As I mentioned above, that was zero shots against a heavily rotated RSL squad. For a team with Antoine Griezmann, Marco Pasalic, and Griffin Dorsey in the starting lineup, that stat is unacceptable. The lack of any chances resulted in Martin Perelman bringing on Justin Ellis and Daryl Dike as offensive halftime substitutions.

Subs Make a Difference

It took less than 10 minutes for Ellis and Dike, along with fellow substitute Joran Gerbet, to make a difference. While it was ultimately Griezmann who scored the goal, it was Gerbet, Ellis, and Dike that made it happen. Gerbet picked up a loose ball Eduard Atuesta won and sent it to Ellis on the right. Ellis sent the ball into the box to Dike, who took it with his back to goal, pirouetted with the ball, and shot it. Unfortunately for Dike, Mason Stajduhar was there to block it. Unfortunately for Stajduhar, Griezmann was there for the poacher’s goal to level the score for Orlando City. Griezmann positioned himself wisely without the ball, but it was the three halftime subs that really made it happen.

Griezmann Gets Another

After equalizing, Orlando City had all the momentum and pressed for a second goal. It was Griezmann who provided the winning goal with his first brace for the Lions. If his first goal was a “right time, right place” type of goal, his second was luck and skill combined. He took a pass in the box from Tyrese Spicer and tried to back heel it to Dike. The ball bounced off the defender and right back to Griezmann, who wasted no time in putting it in the back of the net. It was a microcosm of Griezmann’s time in Orlando for me. He tried to be unselfish, but ultimately taking the shot himself was what was needed. More of this please.

Possession With Purpose

If Orlando City did almost nothing with the ball in the first half, the Lions did everything needed with the ball in the second half. They actually raised the possession to 60% by the end of the match, scored two goals, and didn’t allow a second from RSL. The defenders were able to clear most of the attacks and Maxime Crepeau cleaned up anything that got through. Orlando City was able to continue to push into the attack even after the second goal. As I said above, it was a tale of two halves, and fortunately, the second half was enough for the win.


That is what I saw in Orlando City’s 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Vamos Orlando!

Orlando City vs. Real Salt Lake: Final Score 2-1 as Griezmann’s Brace Lifts Lions to Win

Antoine Griezmann scored twice in the second half to help Orlando City erase a 1-0 deficit and beat RSL at home.

Antoine Griezmann scored two second-half goals for his first Orlando City brace, leading the Lions to a 2-1 comeback win over Real Salt Lake at Inter.co Stadium tonight. After a lethargic opening 45 minutes that saw the visitors take a 1-0 lead into the half on Dominik Marczuk’s goal, an energetic trio of halftime subs injected life into the attack for Orlando (7-11-3, 24 points).

Griezmann’s two goals pushed the Lions past Real Salt Lake (8-8-4, 28 points), but it’s fair to say Orlando City wasn’t clean enough in the first half and couldn’t turn possession into attacking threat until the introduction of second-half subs Justin Ellis, Joran Gerbet, Daryl Dike, and Tyrese Spicer.

The Lions snapped an 0-2-2 winless streak in all competitions and a 0-2-1 skid in league play with tonight’s win, moving just over the playoff line into ninth spot in the Eastern Conference.

“It was a tough game,” Orlando City interim head coach Martin Perelman said after the match. “It wasn’t easy the first half; we tried good and sometimes it happens like that, the game. I think the team in the second half was able to to play in a very difficult moment. It’s not easy and the guys did an amazing job.”

Perelman’s lineup included Maxime Crepeau in goal behind a back line of Zakaria Taifi, Robin Jansson, David Brekalo, and Griffin Dorsey. Luis Otavio and Eduard Atuesta started in central midfield inside of Ivan Angulo and Marco Pasalic, with Tiago joining Antoine Griezmann up top.

The first half consisted of long spells of Orlando possession that came to nothing against a heavily rotated RSL side, with former Lion Mason Stajduhar having to do nothing in goal, because the Lions couldn’t even manage one first-half shot attempt. The visitors were content to stay in their low block of five at the back and four midfielders, wait for the exhausted-looking hosts to misplace a pass or have a bad touch, and look for chances to hit on the counter or with balls over the top.

Griezmann looked the most in need of a rest, as several of his touches were heavy in the first half, but he was far from the only one.

There was a scary moment early in the game when Jansson collided with Marczuk on an attempted RSL switch of play. The Orlando City captain was fouled and stayed down to get treatment, eventually leaving the field under his own power. He was able to return moments later.

Orlando City won a few set pieces in the opening half but did nothing with them, while the visitors looked dangerous if they could stay onside, which they struggled to do early. When the Lions did manage to find space against RSL’s back line, the crosses were poor, ending up either out of play or in the goalkeeper’s hands.

The visitors broke through the dull affair in the 36th minute. Alexandros Katranis laid off a ball on the left flank for Sam Junqua behind him. Junqua picked up his head and spotted Marczuk’s well-timed run behind Taifi and delivered a nice cross. Marczuk met the ball in the air with his foot and knocked it past Crepeau to make it 1-0.

Crepeau kept things from getting worse just before halftime. Angulo turned the ball over on an attempted recycle of a failed set piece, igniting a Real Salt Lake counter. The ball ended up with Marczuk again on the right and this time Crepeau was able to get a hand on it to palm it out for a corner.

The Lions dealt with the set piece and the half came to an end with Orlando’s starters trailing 1-0 to an RSL B-squad that dien’t allow a single shot attempt.

At the break, Orlando City had the advantage in possession (59.4%-40.6%) and passing accuracy (89.7-84.2%), while Real Salt Lake led in shots (3-0) and shots on target (2-0) and each team won one corner.

“It was a complicated game,” Griezmann said. “It’s never easy starting off with with a negative mark like that, but we made changes at halftime and put more more guys further up the field, and we were able to to get that goal and really kind of give ourselves some time of tranquility to create more opportunities to create those occasions to go out and get the winner.”

Looking to injuct some life into the game, or at least some fresh legs, Perelman sent Gerbet, Dike, and Ellis into the game at halftime for Otavio, Tiago, and Pasalic. It took a few minutes for the subs to settle in, but it made a difference in the Lions’ energy level.

Marczuk had the first look at goal in the second half, however, firing from distance from the right side, but it caused no trouble for Crepeau in the 50th minute.

Gerbet and Atuesta worked well together in the middle, keeping the ball better and allowing Taifi to jump into the play on the left. Taifi had a shot blocked out for a corner in the 51st minute. A minute later, Atuesta played a slick through ball for Griezmann. With Stajduhar coming off his line, the Frenchman chipped a shot over him but it went inches wide of the left post.

Orlando scored seconds after Stajduhar put the ball back into play. Atuesta won the ball to Gerbet at midfield, and he turned and found Ellis on the right. Ellis sent it in front to Dike for the shot, but it was blocked to Griezmann, who cleaned up in front, making it 1-1 in the 53rd minute.

Taifi got down the left in the 55th minute and did well to cut back a cross for Griezmann entering the box. Griezmann hit his shot immediately but it fizzed just over the bar. Three minutes later, Taifi cut inside and fired but hit the outside of the left post.

Real Salt Lake sent on Diego Luna, Saba Lobjanidze, and Morgan Guilavogui to try to counter the energy Orlando’s subs had brought into the game, and things opened up a bit. Dorsey did well to stick out a foot to deny a pass that would have put Luna in on goal in the 64th minute.

Spicer came on for Taifi in the 69th minute and injected even more energy into the match. He quickly won a set piece on the left just moments after coming on near the left corner flag. Atuesta sent his delivery on target toward the near post but it was headed behind for a corner kick. The ensuing corner bounced out to Ellis near the top of the area. The Homegrown forward used some deft footwork to work his way past two defenders before getting his shot blocked out for another corner.

Real Salt Lake broke the other way after the set piece and Luna ended up with it. He fired on target but Crepeau blocked it out of play for a corner. Orlando partially cleared the set piece delivery and Katranis tried a shot from long range that was well off target.

Orlando City took the lead moments later. Jansson sent the ball long out of the back to Spicer on the left. The Trinidad & Tobago international did well to get a cross in for Griezmann in the box. The first touch got away from the Frenchman but he picked up the rebound and slotted it past Stajduhar to make it 2-1 in the 81st minute.

“I think it’s a very good cross from ‘Spice’ and I was thinking to do one touch to score but I did very bad,” Griezmann said. “The defender touched the ball and the ball came to me, and yeah I saw a lot of legs and I tried to just make a pass between the legs of the defender and here is where you need to be patient just for one or two seconds. And today I was very patient in this time and this is why I scored.”

“It’s mandatory for us to enjoy Griezmann,” Perelman said. “We are lucky to be in the moment that he’s here with us. He’s one of the best players in the history of this sport. We have the privilege to see him. It’s just about enjoying him, watching him and enjoying him.”

Real Salt Lake threw bodies forward into the attack, but aside from some corner kicks, the visitors couldn’t produce much. Any time it looked like RSL might create something in the final third, Orlando was able to block crosses or head them out of danger. Orlando City also kept the ball well for spells down the stretch, taking the pressure off and allowing the Lions to see out the game.

At the final whistle, the Lions held the advantage in possession (59.6%-40.4%), shots (13-9), passing accuracy (88.8%-82%), and corners (5-4). Real Salt Lake put more shots on target (4-3). Ultimately, the Lions were sharp enough in the second half to make up for the slow start, although RSL helped out by being offside seven times to just once for Orlando.

“In the final zone, we were a lot more aggressive,” Griezmann said of the second half. “We were pressing more and more aggressive with our press, and it was a really good way to to get the win tonight.”

“The players were wanting to give us that control of the game against a team who sat back a little bit,” Perelman said. “I think the guys did a huge effort. Fortunately we could come back, win, because we really need it, and now we need to rest and think (about) the next one.”

“Just so happy to have the win at home,” Gerbet said. “It’s been like a gritty one, but a necessary one, an important one towards like the end of the season to get some momentum, because we’re going to start to go away as well, so we need to start to gain momentum, and I think that was a great way to do it.”


The Lions now get an honest-to-goodness normal work week. Their next match will be a week from tonight at Minnesota United.

Welcome to your match thread and preview for a Saturday night showdown between Orlando City (6-11-3, 21 points) and Real Salt Lake (8-7-4, 28 points) at Inter.co Stadium (7:30 p.m., Apple TV). This is the first and only scheduled meeting between the two teams from opposing conferences and the first time they’ve met since 2023 in Utah.

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

History

The Lions are 2-2-3 in seven previous MLS meetings with RSL, including a 1-0-2 mark at home. However, Orlando City is 0-2-1 in their last three games against tonight’s visitors.

The last time the teams met, it was a forgettable result for Orlando City fans. But if you do remember, it’s not for good reasons, because it was a 4-0 beatdown that Real Salt Lake laid on the Lions on July 8, 2023. Cristian Arango, Justen Glad, Jefferson Savarino, and Anderson Julio did the damage.

During the most recent matchup in Orlando, most of us had no idea what COVID-19 was yet. The Lions and Real Salt Lake met on opening day of the 2020 MLS season, playing to a 0-0 draw at Exploria Stadium on Feb. 29. Despite it being a Leap Day, no one wanted to leap onto the scoresheet.

Orlando City lost the previous meeting, a 2-1 Real Salt Lake win in Utah on April 13, 2019. Nani scored Orlando’s only goal that day, but it came late in the match after Sam Johnson and Demir Kreilach had staked RSL to a 2-0 lead.

The May 6, 2018 meeting in Orlando was a wild 3-1 win for the Lions in which RSL missed multiple good scoring chances, hitting the woodwork and forcing Joe Bendik into some big saves. Dom Dwyer, Lamine Sané, and Yoshimar Yotún provided Orlando’s offense to offset Corey Baird’s early strike.

When the teams met in 2017 at Rio Tinto, Will Johnson provided all the offense against his old club in a 1-0 Orlando City victory. Johnson’s tally in the 17th minute was all Orlando City needed to take the first win of the series after two draws the previous two seasons.

In 2016, the teams played a memorable opening day match in which the Lions roared back with a frantic rally, as Cyle Larin and Adrian Winter pulled City level in a 2-2 draw at the Citrus Bowl. Joao Plata scored both RSL goals — one from the penalty spot — and RSL led 2-0 despite going down a man for 25 minutes, prior to Chris Penso evening things out by sending off Darwin Ceren.

Orlando drew 1-1 on the road in 2015 while down to 10 men after Kaká was sent off at the end of the first half. The captain opened the scoring. Sebastian Jaime found the equalizer in the 28th.

Match Overview

Orlando City enters on a poor run of form in a congested fixture schedule. The Lions lost 2-1 at home against the Chicago Fire on Wednesday, making it four games without a win in all competitions (0-2-2) and they haven’t won in MLS play in their last three (0-2-1). While the defense is leaking just one or two goals per game of late, the offense has been less tidy in finishing chances, which could be attributed to some players, including Antoine Griezmann, not getting much rest during this stretch of seven games in 22 days. Orlando is a pedestrian 4-4-2 at home this season and is winless in its last two home matches (0-1-1).

Real Salt Lake sits eighth in the Western Conference after going 0-3-3 in its last six league matches, including a 4-3 home loss to FC Dallas on Wednesday. But, oddly enough, that stretch of matches sandwiches a 2-0-1 run in Leagues Cup, and RSL advanced to the knockout rounds, where it will play Club Leon on Tuesday, so we may see some rotation, assuming the Utah-based club is going all in on trying to win Leagues Cup or at least one of the three coveted Concacaf Champions Cup spots. Tonight’s match will be RSL’s first on the road since Aug. 1, where the team is 1-5-3 in 2026 in league play.

Sergi Solans leads tonight’s opponents in goals (9) and goal contributions (12), with Diego Luna leading in assists (6) while adding five goals for 11 total goal contributions. The departure of Zavier Gozo and his six goals and five assists is a tough break for RSL, because beyond those three, 10 goals are spread across eight different players.

The Lions must rediscover their scoring boots for this game, as the Orlando defense pitches precious few shutouts, and if RSL plays its starters, either Solans, Luna, or both could do some damage on the other end.

The Lions will be without Braian Ojeda (foot), Martin Ojeda (thigh), and Bernardo Rhein (thigh), while Adrian Marin (thigh) is questionable, so left back may be an adventure, with Zakaria Taifi, Ivan Angulo, and David Brekalo as the leading candidates to play there, and all of them are right-footed. Real Salt Lake will be without Zach Booth (hamstring), Griffin Dillon (foot), Emeka Eneli (knee), Glad (adductor), and Ariath Piol (Achilles).
