FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (July 19, 2025) – Martín Ojeda scored a brace as Orlando City SC (10-6-8, 38 points) earned a 2-1 win over the New England Revolution (6-10-7, 25 points) on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium, securing its 10th victory of the 2025 MLS regular season.
Ojeda opened the scoring shortly after the quarter-hour mark, receiving a lofted through ball from Eduard Atuesta, faking out the Revolution goalkeeper, and calmly slotting the ball into the open net. New England equalized 10 minutes into the second half through Tomás Chancalay, but Ojeda quickly restored the lead just three minutes later.
Iván Angulo broke down the left side of the Revolution defense, beating multiple defenders before sliding the ball to Ojeda, who rocketed his shot off the underside of the crossbar and in for the game-winner.
Ojeda’s brace brought his goal contribution total to 22 on the season, with 12 goals and 10 assists in MLS play. That ties him with former captain Nani (2019) for the most productive regular season in club history.
The win also marked Orlando’s second consecutive victory at Gillette Stadium, following last year’s 3-1 result in Foxborough.
The Lions will remain on the road to face the Columbus Crew on Friday, July 25, at Lower.com Field. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET, with live coverage available on MLS Season Pass via Apple TV.

Head Coach Oscar Pareja:
"Obviously I’m very happy with the result, but more so for the performance of the players. I want to congratulate them for their responsibility, the energy and the willingness to bounce back after the result that we had at home. They had a short period of recovery and what we saw today was full commitment for the club and the jersey and getting this result away just ignited us again. So congratulations to the players. Overall, I thought we had a very good game, very disciplined in our tactical proposal and the times that we went forward we looked like that team that is lethal and that helps us to keep adding points in our search for our quality.”
