Martn Ojeda scores twice, including winner in 90th minute, as Orlando City
holds off Union 4-3
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) --- Martn Ojeda scored on a first-half penalty kick before
delivering the winner in the 90th minute and Orlando City rallied to keep the
Philadelphia Union reeling with a 4-3 victory on Wednesday night.
Orlando City (4-8-1) took a 1-0 lead in the 19th minute on Ojeda's PK. The
striker's seventh goal of the season came after he was fouled by Union
goalkeeper Andrew Rick, who was booked for a yellow card.
Defender Griffin Dorsey scored unassisted in the 27th minute to make it 2-0 and
the lead stood through halftime. It was Dorsey's first netter this season and
his 12th in 143 appearances.
Milan Iloski scored in the 54th minute to get the Union (1-9-3) on the
scoreboard with his third goal this season. Defender Nathan Harriel and Cavan
Sullivan --- who subbed in just before halftime --- had assists.
Orlando City went up 3-1 when Duncan McGuire used an assist from Tyrese Spicer
to score in the 72nd minute. It was the second goal of the campaign for McGuire
and his 29th in 83 appearances. His 32 goals in all competitions is the fourth
most in club history.
Ben Bender picked up an assist on 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan's first career
goal --- in his 25th appearance --- to cut it to 3-2 in the 75th minute. Bender
scored his first goal in two seasons and his eighth overall four minutes later
to tie it --- with an assist from Stas Korzeniowski, his first in his sixth
career appearance.
Adrin Marn and Ivn Angulo had assists to set up Ojeda's winner.
Maxime Crpeau finished with four saves for Orlando City.
Rick stopped two shots for Philadelphia in his first start of the season and
21st of his career.
Orlando City won two straight matches in second-half stoppage before losing 2-0
to CF Montreal last time out on goals in the 94th (PK) and 98th minutes.
Orlando City is 4-5-1 under coach Martn Perelman after a 0-3-0 start led to
the firing of Oscar Pareja.
Bradley Carnell's Union are off to the worst start in club history. They became
the first MLS team to lose six straight to begin a season after winning the
Supporters' Shield for the best record the prior year.
