ORLANDO (May 13, 2026) – Martín Ojeda scored his second brace of the season to lead Orlando City SC (4-8-1, 13 points) to a 4-3 victory over the visiting Philadelphia Union (1-9-3, 6 points) on Wednesday night at Inter&Co Stadium.
Ojeda opened the scoring from a penalty kick in the 19th minute after drawing a foul from Union goalkeeper Andrew Rick in a 1-on-1. Less than 10 minutes later, Griffin Dorsey scored his first MLS goal for the Club, finishing off a sequence involving Ojeda and Tiago to make it 2-0 in the 27th minute.
The Lions limited Philadelphia to two shots on target in the first half before Milan Iloski pulled one back for the visitors nine minutes into the second half. Orlando regained its two-goal lead in the 72nd minute when Duncan McGuire finished off an individual effort from Tyrese Spicer, who muscled his way through the midfield on a breakaway before squaring a ball across goal for McGuire to finish.
Philadelphia responded almost immediately via Cavan Sullivan, who scored in the 75th minute, and Ben Bender followed four minutes later to level the match at 3-3 with 11 minutes remaining.
As the clock struck the 90-minute mark, Ojeda found the game-winner and his second goal of the night, finishing a cross from Adrián Marín with a diving header to secure all three points for the Lions.
Orlando City remains in the City Beautiful on Saturday night when it hosts Eastern Conference rivals Atlanta United FC at Inter&Co Stadium in the second match of a three-game homestand. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET and the match will air live on Apple TV.
Interim Head Coach Martín Perelman:
“Happy with the victory. I think the guys are putting in a lot of effort and we had a really good performance. We made some mistakes that led to what everyone saw. What I learned from this game is to enjoy the victories and that’s what we’re going to do. There are things we still need to improve, but we understand the process. We see the big picture and little by little we are continuing to grow. This is our fourth home game since we started this process and we really want to win at home, so I’m happy about that.”
