Drawing 0-0 at Seattle Sounders on a long-haul cross-country road trip, Oscar Pareja‘s Orlando City SC now return to Central Florida to contest two consecutive home fixtures at Exploria Stadium – starting with Chicago Fire.
The Lions are currently seventh in the Eastern Conference on 28 points. They sit two points above both the red and Wild Card match lines, and look much steadier, if not spectacular, in pursuit of clinching a place in the 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs. Continue reading
Frustrated after blowing a two-goal lead against Philadelphia Union (2-2) on Wednesday, Oscar Pareja‘s Orlando City SC now fly northwest to contest their furthest MLS away game of 2023 – Seattle Sounders at Lumen Field.
With Duncan McGuire and Martín Ojeda scoring their sixth and fourth City goals in midweek, there was plenty to be proud of. Nevertheless, José Martínez’s 90th minute equaliser, albeit a goal of the season contender, was painfully the THIRD equaliser the Lions have conceded at home after the 85th minute mark this year. Continue reading
After defeating nine-man Colorado Rapids 2-0 at Exploria Stadium, Orlando City SC now hit the road to face 2021 MLS Supporters’ Shield winners New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium.
Our first 2023 regular season meeting with Revs, the Foxborough team are quite simply a bogey side to the Lions. After registering our current joint-highest MLS win against Revs (6-1) in September 2017, they’ve gone unbeaten against City in the nine MLS head-to-heads ever since (5-4-0). Continue reading
After drawing 1-1 against Atlanta United at Exploria Stadium, Oscar Pareja‘s Orlando City SC now visit Harrison, New Jersey to face New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena.
Last defeating Red Bulls 1-0 in our 2023 MLS home opener back on February 25, Gerhard Struber stood on the touchline that day but Troy Lesesne is now the head coach of the Eastern Conference side. Continue reading
Back on April 27, Orlando City SC were drawn against Charlotte FC at the Sportsplex at Matthews in this Round of 32 stage of the 2023 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.
Bypassing the third round by virtue of triumphantly winning the 2022 Lamar U.S. Open Cup, six straight home victories saw City lift their first major silverware as an MLS club. With an away test up first this time around, there will be no home comforts as City attempt to defend their 2022 title. Continue reading
One step forward and two steps back. Frustratingly, Orlando City SC‘s disappointing season continued last Saturday. Oscar Pareja‘s Lions painfully suffered their third consecutive home defeat in MLS.
Comfortably beaten 1-3 by Wayne Rooney’s D.C. United; sloppy defending, individual errors, and a lack of attacking quality all contributed to yet another sobering evening at Exploria Stadium. Continue reading
After lots of bye week deliberation time following our 1-2 Nashville SC defeat on April 1, Oscar Pareja‘s Orlando City SC bounced back with a much-needed 1-2 road victory at Minnesota United last Saturday.
Achieving a comeback win against legendary former City head coach Adrian Heath, second-half goals from Iván Angulo and Duncan McGuire sealed a super satisfying victory at Allianz Field. Continue reading
Before Minnesota United vs Orlando City SC on Saturday, we interviewed Orlando City SC Senior Producer and Video Host Gabrielle Amado (@gabamado) to preview the game.
We also reflect on City’s MLS season so far, as well as asking Gabby a few more questions about her own career working within Major League Soccer. Continue reading
Still undefeated after Gameweek 3 of the 2023 MLS season, Orlando City SC now face Charlotte FC at Exploria Stadium after achieving a 1-1 draw at D.C. United last weekend.
Downbeat however after narrowly being eliminated (on away goals) by Tigres UANL in the 2023 CONCACAF Champions League on Wednesday, this is a great chance to bounce back and put crucial Eastern Conference points on the board early in the season. Continue reading
Everything is perfectly poised for Orlando City SC to achieve what would be arguably the biggest result in club history so far.
Last Tuesday, City achieved a respectable 0-0 shutout at Tigres UANL in the first leg of our 2023 CONCACAF Champions League Round of 16 tie. On Wednesday night, an especially boisterous Exploria Stadium awaits our Mexican opponents. Continue reading
