ATHENS, Ga. (May 10, 2026) – Orlando City B (3-2-4, 16 points) earned a 2-0 road victory over Eastern Conference rivals Atlanta United 2 (5-3-1, 16 points) on Sunday night, striking early and again late to secure all three points.
The Lions took the lead in the ninth minute after Harvey Sarajian drove into the penalty area, drawing defenders before earning a spot kick. Gustavo Caraballo converted the penalty with a composed finish, using a brief hesitation to wrong-foot the goalkeeper before lifting the ball into the upper netting.
Atlanta United 2 was reduced to 10 men in the second half when defender Daniel Chica received his second yellow card of the match, and Orlando City B capitalized on the advantage. Issah Haruna doubled the lead in the 75th minute, slipping behind the back line to finish a well-weighted through ball from Sarajian.
The win marked Head Coach Eddie Wilding’s first victory since being named head coach of Orlando City B on April 9.
