Orlando City conceded early and often in falling behind 3-0 on the road in a game that might have been far worse without Maxime Crepeau’s saves. However, the Lions improbably rallied from three goals down behind Martin Ojeda’s hat trick and Tyrese Spicer’s late winner to shock Inter Miami 4-3 at Nu Stadium.

With the win, Orlando City becomes the first visiting team to beat the Herons (5-2-4, 19 points) in their new home, where they are now 0-1-3, and Inter Miami remains winless there. It was the first road victory of the 2026 MLS season for the Lions (3-7-1, 10 points), and Orlando City became just the third MLS team in the league’s history to win after trailing by three goals.

“Well, happiness for the result. Like I said 48 or 72 hours ago, the effort of the players is what we should be highlighting now, because they are doing a huge effort,” Orlando City interim head coach Martin Perelman said after the match.

Perelman’s lineup featured Crepeau in goal behind a back line of Adrian Marin, Robin Jansson, Iago, and Griffin Dorsey. Luis Otavio and Braian Ojeda started in central midfield between wingers Ivan Angulo and Tiago. Martin Ojeda and Justin Ellis led the attack up top.

Miami was dangerous from the jump and Orlando could not get out of their own end as has been the case so many times this season already. The Herons paid off that pressure just four minutes in off a corner kick. The initial ball was partially cleared, but Miami recycled it and a simple ball into the box found multiple wide-open Miami attackers in front of Crepeau’s goal. Ian Fray was the man who got his head to it to make it 1-0 before the crowd had even settled in.

The Herons should have gone up 2-0 just a couple of minutes after opening the scoring. Berterame had a wide-open look in front but he sent his curling shot wide of the right post.

Orlando’s first decent-looking attack came from a takeaway in the midfield in the 14th minute, but the resulting counterattack broke down as Dorsey ignored an open Martin Ojeda at the top of the area and instead got his cross blocked, ending the threat without a shot attempt. Martin Ojeda then had a chance to equalize in the 17th minute when left alone in space outside the box. The Argentine got plenty of power on his shot, but he couldn’t keep the ball on target and it fizzed over the crossbar to waste a good opportunity.

Things nearly got worse when Lionel Messi got in behind Jansson in the 18th minute. The Swedish center back turned into a linebacker, tackling the Miami star and earning a yellow card only because Iago was behind enough to negate the denial of a goal-scoring opportunity.

Crepeau then made a series of jaw-dropping saves on the ensuing set piece and in its aftermath. The Canadian denied Messi’s free kick and Luis Suarez twice before making a leaping stop on Rodrigo De Paul from distance.

Two corners later, Crepeau did well on Miami’s short corner to tip Messi’s curling effort over the crossbar.

Miami’s second came on the counterattack off a terrible pass from Angulo straight to an opposing player. At the end of the counter, Suarez sent Messi to the end line and the Argentine centered it for a tap-in for Telasco Segovia, who had beaten Marin. The game was effectively over already just 25 minutes in.

Angulo continued to give the ball awaywhen Orlando had possession, and the Lions were fortunate to stay within 2-0 for a short spell as the counterattacks continued. However, that ended in the 33rd minute when Messi stepped past an overcommitted Iago and curled a left-footed shot inside the left post to make it 3-0.

Another huge save by Crepeau on Segovia in front kept the score from becoming more embarrassing in the 36th minute. He then made two more big saves to stop De Paul and Berterame, as Miami kept putting the ball into threatening spots.

The Lions spoiled the shutout in the 39th minute with a quickly played goal down the middle. Jansson sent a long ball to Ellis, who chipped the ball to Martin Ojeda in space. The Designated Player made a move to the right to lose two defenders, spun to freeze a third and put the ball on his favorite left foot, and smashed a perfectly placed shot inside the left post past Dayne St. Clair to make it 3-1.

The Lions gave up another corner and looked to break after clearing it, but once again it was Angulo giving the ball away in space near midfield with plenty of options available.

Orlando kept looking for a second as time wound down in the first half, but Miami’s defense was able to clear two dangerous-looking crosses in the box early in stoppage time. The Lions then looked to be set up with a free kick in a dangerous spot in the fourth added minute when Maxi Falcon held Tiago from behind. Falcon was initially booked but the flag came up, negating both the set piece and the booking, despite the replay clearly showing two defenders keeping Tiago onside, which is not reviewable.

Inter Miami’s dominance on the scoreboard was reflected on the stat sheet, as the Herons dominated in possession (61.7%-38.3%), shots (16-2), shots on target (10-1), corners (8-0), and passing accuracy (90.4%-75.2%). If not for Crepeau’s seven saves, the match would have already been a massacre by the break.

“We knew that wasn’t the performance we should be having,” Perelman said about his team’s first half. “But as well we knew that we trust in ourselves, and we knew we were able to turn around the game. We spoke that we scored four goals in the past, so we can do it again, one goal at a time.”

Perelman made two changes at the break to try to get his team back in it, sending Eduard Atuesta and Spicer on for Otavio and Tiago.

The first look at goal of the second period fell Ellis’ way in the 49th minute. Near the top of the area on the left, Ellis sent a shot toward goal that deflected up into the chest area for St. Clair to catch.

Atuesta ignited Miami’s first look at goal after halftime with a heavy touch near midfield, setting up a four-on-four counterattack. Messi picked out Segovia on the left but he got under his shot and sent it badly off frame in the 51st minute.

Duncan McGuire returned from a lower leg injury in the 59th minute, replacing Ellis, who had played a big role in Wednesday’s U.S. Open Cup win. McGuire’s return took place midway between two decent back-post balls from Dorsey that found no teammate making a run. The second of those set up a corner kick. Martin Ojeda picked out Braian Ojeda at the top of the area, but the ball came in awkwardly for the midfielder, who sent it off target off his upper leg.

Spicer’s giveaway led to Miami breaking three on three in transition, but an uncharacteristically heavy touch from Messi ended the threat. Orlando quickly recovered and scored at the other end. Marin ran onto a clearance from Miami and carried it forward before finding Ojeda to his left. The Designated Player quickly smashed it in off the right post to make it 3-2 in the 68th minute.

“I’m so happy for Martin,” Perelman said. “Martin played 90 minutes 72 hours ago. He doesn’t want to leave the field, not even one second. He’s an exceptional player, an amazing person. I’m so happy for him and for us to have a player like him.”

Inter Miami quickly won a corner just seconds after the restart but De Paul’s shot was blocked. The Lions went the other way, but Yannick Bright broke up the play by fouling Martin Ojeda and perhaps was fortunate not to receive his second yellow. The set piece found Iago on the right and the big Brazilian headed it dangerously back in front but he was offside on the play, ending the threat.

Orlando should have done better in transition in the 73rd minute when a pass split the defense and sent Atuesta down the middle. The midfielder, however, did not have the pace to get in cleanly. He took a touch to his left and could have shot, but instead he waited and found Martin Ojeda on his right. Ojeda took a touch, allowing St. Clair time to get off his line and cut down the angle, ultimately making a point-blank save to keep the game 3-2.

Two minutes later, McGuire got down the left side and tried to sneak a shot past St. Clair at the near post but the Canadian international made the save. Orlando City won a corner kick and the set piece led to Orlando’s opportunity to pull level. The referee was watching a battle between Iago and Falcon, holding up the set piece to talk to both players. After the ball came in, Iago shook free of Falcon, who caught up and pushed the Brazilian down from behind. The foul in the box was called and Orlando City had a penalty kick with a chance to tie the match.

Martin Ojeda stutter-stepped late in his run-up, sent St. Clair one way, and completed his hat trick into the empty side of the net in the 79th minute, tying the match at 3-3.

“I enjoy those moments. I like those moments, those penalties,” Ojeda said. “From when I was a kid, I was prepared for those and trained for those. I never feel pressure in those moments. The pressure that I feel is in my life, when my son or when my family is sick with an illness or or a flu. In those moments, I don’t feel pressure on the pitch. And so, I think when I get to those moments, I try to enjoy them. I think of of my son, of my family, of all the people behind me that are giving me that hand of support in those moments and try and find a moment of peace when there’s those pressure moments.”

Despite improbably pulling level, Orlando quickly allowed another golden opportunity for a Miami goal. The ball cycled in from the right to Tadeo Allende in the area. He mishit his shot and sent it left to Berterame, who was offside. However, the ball skipped just wide of the net and would likely have counted since it didn’t appear to be touched.

Orlando forced a good opportunity to take the lead in the 81st minute when Angulo poked the ball away in Miami’s defensive third. Spicer sent it to Martin Ojeda on the left near the top of the area. Again St. Clair rushed quickly off his line and this time the shot hit the goalkeeper in the face. Spicer sent the rebound well off target from distance. St. Clair needed treatment and went through concussion protocol but stayed in the match.

Atuesta and Bright traded unsuccessful chances in the final minutes of normal time, and Martin Ojeda saw his shot blocked during a two-on-two transition attack in the first of eight added minutes.

Two minutes later, Orlando took its first lead of the match. Braian Ojeda sent a ball forward that an offside Martin Ojeda let go. Spicer blazed past the last defender to reach the loose ball first and tucked in the ultimate game winner through St. Clair’s legs.

Miami didn’t stop threatening, however, and an ill-advised Iago foul set Messi up with a dangerous free kick just outside the area deep in stoppage time. Messi’s free kick cleared the wall and fizzed just inches over Crepeau’s crossbar in the sixth added minute.

The Lions survived a corner in the 99th minute and the final whistle finally ended an unlikely comeback victory.

At full time, Inter Miami held the advantage in possession (61.2%-38.8%), shots (25-13), shots on target (10-8), corners (10-2), and passing accuracy (90.8%-78.7%). However, it was Martin Ojeda’s precision and a better defensive second half that helped the Lions forge a way back into the match, with Spicer’s speed and fresher legs making the difference.

“We tried at the beginning to close internal spaces where they were strong, but we couldn’t,” Perelman said. “And then we tried to press little bit higher. Even that was a risk, but we were down in the score, so we were forced to do it. And then offensively, I think the most important adjustments were focused on the offensive side.”

“There’s a huge emotion that I feel within that’s inexplicable, because, you know, the way that we came out in the first half, it wasn’t us,” Martin Ojeda said. “We fell behind. And I think it showed going into halftime, and then in the second half, we came out, we showed who we can be as a team.”

Orlando City will continue its road swing with a match at CF Montreal a week from tonight.

Barbra Banda up for weekly honors, Johnny Cardoso to have surgery, Americans in midweek action, and more.

Dan MacDonald, The Mane Land

Good morning, everyone. It was a mixed bag for Orlando’s soccer teams over the weekend, as the Orlando Pride and Orlando City B both picked up victories, while Orlando City lost. There’s no rest for the wicked though, because the Pride take on Boston Legacy on the road tonight, while the Lions will host the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday. We’ve got a lot to talk about this morning, so let’s get into the links.

Barbra Banda up for Weekly Honors

Barbra Banda’s game-winning strike over the North Carolina Courage has been nominated for the NWSL Goal of the Week. Banda cut across her marker in the 87th minute with the match tied 0-0 and curled a great strike inside the far post to give the Pride a lead that wouldn’t be relinquished. The victory got Orlando back on track after dropping two games in a row, and the goal was Banda’s league-leading eighth strike of the year. Make sure you go vote for her to win!

Surgery for Johnny Cardoso

Atletico Madrid announced on Monday that midfielder Johnny Cardoso will have surgery to repair an injury to his right ankle. Cardoso was hurt during a training session, with Atletico classifying the injury as a “high-grade sprain involving joint damage.” The club’s statement did not specify a timeline for his return to the field and U.S. Soccer has not made any statement besides wishing Cardoso a speedy recovery. That said, with this summer’s World Cup less than a month away, its tough to imagine that he’ll be healed up and ready to be part of the United States Men’s National Team roster. If that’s the case, it’ll be a bitter blow for both the USMNT and a midfielder that looked like a sure bet to be on the squad.

Americans in Midweek Action

There are a number of Americans who will be taking part in games during the working week, so let’s make sure we’ve got everything on the schedule. Things got started on Monday when Brenden Aaronson played 63 minutes in Leeds United’s 1-1 draw with Tottenham. Action continues today when Aidan Morris and Middlesborough face Southampton in the second leg of an EFL Championship playoff promotion semifinal. Wednesday sees Auston Trusty and Celtic take on Motherwell in a game with massive ramifications on the title race in the Scottish Premier League. Wednesday also has Alex Freeman and Villarreal hosting Sevilla in La Liga play, while Chris Richards and Crystal Palace will try to play spoiler against Manchester City.

MLS Matchday 12 Lessons

Matchday 12 is officially in the books for Major League Soccer, so what did we learn from the weekend’s action? For one thing, Jack McGlynn was imperious in his second game back from injury, as his brace helped the Houston Dynamo knock off LAFC on the road while USMNT assistant Jesus Perez was watching from the stands. The New England Revolution are now unbeaten in the club’s last seven league games, and Carles Gil was a big reason why, as he nabbed a goal and an assist in the Revs’ 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Union. He’s got four goals and four assists so far, and the Revs are sitting pretty at second in the Eastern Conference.

Transfer Rumor Roundup

European seasons aren’t quite wrapped up yet, but that isn’t stopping transfer rumors from flying thick and fast. We start with the Premier League, where Manchester City is reportedly prepared to trigger the release clause of 16-year-old Hertha Berlin midfielder Kennet Eichhorn, before immediately sending the player on loan to continue his development. Elsewhere in England, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal are all said to be interested in signing Juventus fullback Andrea Cambiaso. Switching lanes to the managerial side of things, Chelsea has reportedly identified Xabi Alonso as the leading candidate to become the next manager of the team, with the Spaniard said to be open to taking the job. Finally, Jose Mourinho is said to be open to taking the Real Madrid job, although he reportedly has a couple conditions that he wants met first.

Orlando City vs. CF Montreal: Player Grades and Man of the Match

Here’s how your favorite Lions performed in Orlando City’s 2-0 loss to CF Montreal.

If you play Football Manager enough, you play plenty of games where the after-match comment is “a bore draw.” That appeared to be where Orlando City’s road game at CF Montreal was headed until a mistake by Robin Jansson in added time led to a penalty which opened the scoring for the hosts. They tacked on another late in stoppage time and the Lions will return home for a three-game set (one of them in the U.S. Open Cup) sore from Saturday’s 2-0 loss to CF Montreal.

Let’s take a look at how Orlando City’s players rated individually in their matchup with the Quebecois.

Starters

GK, Maxime Crépeau, 5.5 — With 25 shots by Montreal, one would’ve figured Crepeau was busy. Not really — he finished with three saves. A goalkeeper is almost never responsible for being scored on from the penalty spot, but Dagur Dan Thorallsson’s goal at the death is one Crepeau will want back, although in fairness it was perfectly placed. The Canadian goalkeeper finished with a 72.7% passing rate and was helped out after being rounded by Prince Owusu in a 1-v-1 opportunity that his teammates should never have allwoed for what would have been a goal if not for Iago’s sliding block to clear it off the line.

D, Adrián Marin, 5.5 — Marin got caught ball-watching in the 34th minute to allow a Wiki Carmona rocket that just went wide. Otherwise, he just didn’t impact the game one way or the other. Marin completed 87.8% of his passes and added one tackle, one block, and three clearances.

D, Robin Jansson, 5 — Jansson played his normal emergency role all game. Unfortunately, he got put off-balance in the first minute of added time in the second half and fell into the legs of Luca Petrasso, giving a penalty. It was a rough ending for the captain, but Orlando left the door open for Montreal and the hosts took it. The Swede also couldn’t close down Thorhallsson to prevent the second late Montreal goal. Jansson completed 78.7% of his passes, with one tackle, 10(!) clearances, and one block.

D, Iago, 6 — We saw both sides of Iago. He had a really nice pass in the 17th minute to free up Eduard Atuesta on goal but the Colombian missed the target to waste Orlando’s best chance of the game. The Brazilian’s biggest highlight moment was in the 76th minute, when Owusu dribbled past Crepeau for an open look at goal but Iago was there to clear it off the line. On the flip side, he also had a dangerous header defending a corner that almost created an own goal, instead hitting the left post. He got pulled wide in the first minute of the second half, allowing a dangerous shot by Owusu. On the offensive end, he got on the end of a corner but headed it right at Thomas Gillier. He was all over the place, which you can expect from a young player. He would’ve gotten a higher grade had the game finished scoreless because of his goal-line clearance and a couple of sparkling long balls that should have led to more. Alas. He finished with zero interceptions or tackles, three blocks, six clearances, and a 92.3% passing rate. He also picked up a yellow card in the sixth minute of added time in the second half preventing a counter on one of his attacking teammates’ many turnovers.

D, Griffin Dorsey, 5.5— While Orlando City was heavily weighted to the left side all game, when the Lions went down the right, it was through Dorsey. He led the break down that side multiple times but had trouble connecting. Dorsey finished with one tackle, three clearances, and one cross while passing at a 79% rate.

MF, Iván Angulo, 4.5 — When Angulo whiffed on a ball in the second minute which caused a Montreal counter, it was an indicator of the night to come. He was sloppy all game long and, by The Mane Land’s unofficial tally, turned the ball over eight times, with the majority of those coming in his own defensive half. It was an ugly night that looked a touch better when Tyrese Spicer departed, changing Angulo’s duties, but it didn’t wipe out a forgettable match. He finished with 90.2% passing, despite being loose with the ball. He was two out of six for successful dribbles and two out of seven in winning ground duels.

MF, Eduard Atuesta, 5.5 — A major part of the toothlessness of the Lions in the match was the midfield play. While Atuesta had a 95% passing rate, the only real impact he had was in the 17th minute, when Iago broke him free with a great pass. Atuesta made a well-timed run, but he ended up doing nothing with it when he sent his shot wide of goal. He had a turnover in the fourth minute to leave Montreal with a 3-on-2 break, leaving me to wonder if it was going to be one of those nights for him. Luckily no, but there was no real contribution either. He picked up a yellow card in the 62nd, was dispossessed once, and committed four fouls.

MF, Braian Ojeda, 5.5— Atuesta’s midfield partner also had trouble linking the play but contributed a touch more defensively. His sloppy handling in the 41st minute allowed Montreal to keep possession and created a corner. In the end, he finished with one tackle, one block, one clearance, and a 90% passing rate.

MF, Tyrese Spicer, 6— Unfortunately, most of Spicer’s contributions came on the defensive end this game because he could never get himself in the flow offensively. While he was 10-for-11 passing, he attempted two shots, one right at the goalkeeper and the other that missed so badly it almost went behind the net without hitting anything. He had just two touches in the opposition box. His biggest highlight was a tackle in the 23rd minute to end a dangerous Montreal possession. He was replaced in the 67th minute by Duncan McGuire. Spicer finished with a 91% passing success rate, led the team in tackles with four, and added two interceptions.

F, Martín Ojeda, 5 — This grade may be a bit harsh. However, when you are a Designated Player, you have to contribute, and Martin Ojeda was invisible at best. With 44 total passes, he was the one having to compensate for the lack of midfield control and it showed by his lack of offensive contribution. He had zero touches in the opposition box, which is not going to be a recipe for Orlando City success. Martin took one shot that was on target and passed at a 91% rate.

F, Justin Ellis, 6.5 (MotM)— Someone has to win Man of the Match. Ellis almost wins it by default as his overall play was the only positive thing all game. While his stats were mediocre, and there was not one moment you can pick to point to, he was the most talented when on the ball, tracked back to collect the ball occasionally, did more to link play than the midfield did, and just didn’t have a negative impact. He was replaced in the 80th by David Brekalo and finished with a 94% passing rate, was four-for-four on successful dribbles, and went five-for-six on ground duels won.

Substitutes

F, Duncan McGuire (67′), 5— McGuire started out playing out of position on the wing and while asked to pick up the offense, McGuire was unable to show anything of promise. Dorsey found him in the 88th minute with a cross, but McGuire turned down a quick shot and held the ball too long while deciding, and he ended up taking a low angle shot that had been there from the beginning that ended up harmless. He passed at a 75% rate and had three touches in the opposition box, turning those into a measly 0.05 expected goals. One of his touches on a promising attack was heavy and wasted the opportunity to get a shot off late in the game.

D, David Brekalo (80′), N/A — Brekalo came on for Ellis with a few minutes remaining, maybe a tactical choice to see out the draw. He completed all seven of his passes and had one clearance. He was not able to do anything to prevent Montreal’s two late goals, but he wasn’t the only one.

MF, Tiago (90′+5), N/A — Tiago entered right after the penalty to try to claw back a goal. Unfortunately, he whiffed on a 50/50 ball just moments before Thorhallsson ended up scoring the game’s second goal. He wasn’t on long enough to issue a grade, however.

D, Zakaria Taifi (90′+5), N/A — The best thing you can say about Taifi’s time is that he didn’t turn the ball over conceding a goal in the five minutes he was on the field.

That’s how I saw the individual performances in Orlando City’s loss to CF Montreal. 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.

Lions Fall to CF Montreal

Orlando City fell 2-0 to CF Montreal at Stade Saputo Saturday on a pair of late goals. After a scoreless first half, the Lions were minutes away from escaping with a point on the road but conceded twice in stoppage time, with former Lion Dagur Dan Thorhallsson adding the insurance goal for Montreal as Orlando City left Canada with zero points. The Lions could not capitalize on their few scoring chances throughout the match. Orlando City returns home for its next match on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Union at Inter&Co Stadium.
