MLS: Orlando City SC Falls 4-2 at New England Revolution 

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (www.jaxsportsday.com) — The New England Revolution (14-8-4, 46 points) scored two goals in stoppage time as Orlando City SC (10-12-4, 34 points) fell 4-2 in its visit to Gillette Stadium on Saturday night. The result keeps Orlando City sixth in the Eastern Conference with eight games remaining in the regular season.

The hosts took an initial two-goal lead by the hour mark via Carles Gil’s deflected effort in the 19th minute and Peyton Miller’s breakaway in the 59th minute.

Orlando City then cut the deficit just four minutes later when Justin Ellis played Martín Ojeda into the box and the pass took a deflection into the path of Iván Angulo, who slotted home to record his third goal in as many league games.

The Lions found an equalizer in the 88th minute after being awarded a penalty kick for a handball in the box. Ojeda stepped up to the spot to calmly convert his 12th goal of the MLS season and his second in consecutive matches after scoring midweek in the U.S. Open Cup. The Argentine has now logged three goal contributions in his last four matches across all competitions after missing the Lions’ first six MLS games after the summer break due to injury.

Goal Highlights:
19’ Carles Gil (Jackson Yueill) – NE 1, ORL 0
59’ Peyton Miller (Dor Turgeman, Ethan Kohler) – NE 2, ORL 0
62’ Iván Angulo – NE 2, ORL 1
88’ Martín Ojeda (Penalty Kick) – ORL 2, NE 2
90+3’ Peyton Miller (Ilay Feingold, Carles Gil) – NE 3, ORL 2
90+6’ Carles Gil (Dor Turgeman, Brooklyn Raines) – NE 4, ORL 2

Match Notes:

  • Forward Iván Angulo scored his fourth goal of the 2026 MLS season, marking his 16th tally all-time for the Lions across all competitions.
  • With his strike, Angulo has now scored in three consecutive MLS matches for Orlando.
  • Martín Ojeda recorded his team-leading 12th MLS goal of the season and his 46th across all competitions this year. The Argentine has recorded three goal contributions in his last four matches across all competitions (2g/1a) and is just one goal short of tying Facundo Torres’ club record of 47 goals across all competitions.
  • Though not credited with an assist, Justin Ellis was involved in the buildup to Angulo’s goal. The 19-year-old’s run of consecutive matches with an assist (all  competitions) ended at five.
  • Interim head coach Martín Perelman made three changes to his starting lineup from the club’s previous match against the Columbus Crew, inserting Luís Otávio, Marco Pašalić and Tyrese Spicer into the starting XI.
  • Defender Griffin Dorsey (Back), forward Antoine Griezmann (Thigh) and midfielder Braian Ojeda (Foot) missed the match due to injury, while defender Iago was suspended due to yellow card accumulation.
