Martín Ojeda wrote his name next to Facundo Torres on Orlando City's all-time scoring list even as the Lions dropped a 4-2 result at Subaru Park. Ojeda finished a 90th-minute chance for his 47th goal across all competitions, tying Torres for the club record, in Saturday night's loss to the Philadelphia Union.

Orlando City said the goal was also Ojeda's team-leading 14th across all competitions in 2026. Harvey Sarajian provided the assist, his second of the campaign. Orlando fell to 10-13-4 and 34 points. Philadelphia improved to 11-10-6 and 39.

Record night inside a four-goal deficit

Philadelphia led 4-0 before Orlando answered. Milan Iloski scored three times - an 11th-minute penalty after an Eduard Atuesta foul in the box, a 19th-minute finish from Indiana Vassilev and Nathan Harriel, and a 51st-minute strike from Vassilev and Jovan Lukic - while Vassilev added a 47th-minute goal from Jesús Bueno, the club match report detailed.

Iván Angulo pulled Orlando within 4-1 in the 78th minute off an Antoine Griezmann free-kick assist, Angulo's fifth goal of 2026 across all competitions and his fourth straight MLS match with a goal. Ojeda's 90th-minute finish made it 4-2 and locked the club scoring record into a tie with Torres.

What the 47th goal means

Ojeda and Torres now share the franchise mark at 47 goals across all competitions. The 14th of 2026 keeps Ojeda alone atop Orlando's scoring chart for the year. On a night when the result went the other way, that milestone is the lasting individual line from Chester.

Defender Vinícius Nogueira made his Orlando debut as a second-half substitute. Griezmann recorded his fourth assist for the club across all competitions. Interim head coach Martín Perelman made five changes from the prior match against New England, inserting Atuesta, Daryl Dike, Griezmann, Iago and Zakaria Taifi into the starting XI, the club noted.

Griffin Dorsey (back) and Braian Ojeda (foot) missed with injury; several others were away on international duty.

Columbus next at home

Orlando City hosts the Columbus Crew on Saturday, Oct. 10, at Inter.co Stadium. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. ET on Apple TV.

Ojeda's night will be remembered for the record, not the scoreboard. A 90th-minute goal, a share of the club's all-time lead, and a team-high 14th of 2026 - that is the individual story that survived a 4-2 loss in Chester.

The scoring summary from the club report ran Iloski, Iloski, Vassilev, Iloski, then Angulo and Ojeda. That late sequence did not change the result, but it did change the franchise record book. Ojeda walked off Subaru Park sharing the all-time lead and still owning the 2026 scoring lead for Orlando.
