ORLANDO, Fla. (FNN SPORTS) — Orlando City SC (9-5-8, 35 points) settled for a 1-1 draw against CF Montréal (8-11-2, 26 points) Saturday night at Inter&Co Stadium, conceding a late equalizer after leading most of the match.

The Lions opened the scoring in the 28th minute when Martín Ojeda buried a left-footed strike off an indirect free kick delivered by Luis Muriel. The goal marked Ojeda’s 10th of the season, tying him for the team lead, and extended his goal contribution streak to seven consecutive matches — a new club record. Muriel’s assist was his sixth of the season and his third in the last two matches.

Defensively, Orlando controlled the match, limiting Montréal without a shot on target until the 83rd minute, when a penalty kick was awarded to the visitors. Prince Owusu converted from the spot to level the match and ultimately split the points.

Orlando City returns to action Wednesday, July 16, at home against New York City FC, with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. ET on MLS Season Pass via Apple TV.

Quote from Head Coach Óscar Pareja:
“From the first minute to the 90th, we had control of the game but couldn’t find our rhythm. We had moments, but it was uncomfortable overall. It’s frustrating because we must win at home, and this is another one we let slip away.”
