Sunday, June 7, 7:00 p.m.

Kissimmee, Fla.

Round Three with Carolina  

Orlando City B holds an all-time record of 3W-2L-3D against Carolina Core FC. The Lions earned the win in the first meeting of the 2026 MLS NEXT Pro season, securing a 3-2 road victory on March 14. OCB also claimed the extra point in the second meeting between the sides, playing to a 2-2 draw before converting six penalty kicks to Carolina’s five in the post regulation shootout on April 19. 

Nacho Stays Hot  

Forward Ignacio Gomez has scored in back-to-back matches, recording his first two goals of the 2026 MLS NEXT Pro season. The 20-year-old previously notched his first MLS goal in Orlando City’s 4-1 victory over Charlotte FC on April 22. The Argentine opened the scoring six minutes into the Lions’ most recent match against Chattanooga FC and also struck first in Orlando City B’s May 24 win over Inter Miami CF II, finding the net in the 27th minute. 

Sarajian Leads the Lions  

Harvey Sarajian’s strike in the 50th minute gave Orlando City B the lead as part of the Lions’ four-goal second-half rally against Chattanooga FC. The goal marked a key turning point as OCB surged ahead to secure the result. In nine starts for OCB, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2026 MLS SuperDraft has recorded a team-leading five goals and 10 goal contributions this season. Sarajian has quickly established himself as a consistent attacking presence, leading the squad in scoring while playing a central role in the club’s offensive production. 

Leão Bags Brace 

Pedro Leão recorded a brace in Orlando City B’s 5-2 win over Chattanooga FC, marking the first multi-goal performance of his professional career. The Brazilian scored the equalizer three minutes into the second half on a low through ball from Bernardo Rhein, igniting the Lions’ four-goal second-half surge. He later converted from the penalty spot in the 81st minute to cap the rally, bringing his total to five goals on the 2026 MLS NEXT Pro season.
