FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (Sept. 19, 2026) — 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.
Orlando City will next take on the Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park on Saturday, Sept. 26. Kickoff for that match is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on Apple TV.

Interim Head Coach Martín Perelman:
“Very frustrated, of course, with the result. It was a big challenge for us today because we came here after the game on Wednesday, and facing, of course, a team who is doing well in the league, in their stadium, and that they rest during the week—a normal week; they didn’t play. The context of the game was difficult. We knew that. Taking that into account, I think we did a very big effort. We made some mistakes, especially in the first half, and then we were able to come back in the second half, compete, tie the game, and then, I think there we have some gap to improve as a team. I think we grew a lot during this season in many things. We are competing. We are up there. Everybody knows how we started. I think the process of the team is there, but if something we need to improve is this. We need to close these kinds of games. So, that’s the frustration, but I also need to recognize the effort of the players. I have to do it because it was there.”
