Martin Ojeda hugged Ivan Angulo and then pointed at the player in front of the fans in attendance at Inter&Co Stadium following Orlando’s second goal of the night. Angulo, the speedy Colombian winger, initially found Duncan McGuire in the initial pass, before recovering the lost ball before finding Marco Pasalic, who then passed it back to him, who then found Ojeda to finish off the play. The goal brought obvious jubilation, but it ensured Orlando City their first victory of the regular season – a 2-1 win against CF Montreal on Saturday night.“Yeah, I don’t get how he runs for that long that fast. It’s probably annoying playing against him, so I’m definitely glad he’s on my team,” McGuire said on Angulo. “His work rate is incredible, and I’m definitely happy to call him my teammate, and he’s someone you want to fight for on the field, and we can’t thank him enough for the amount of work he does both defensively and offensively for us.”Prior to Ojeda’s go-ahead goal in the 31st minute, Prince Owusu equalized the score line for Montreal in the 24th minute. McGuire, who scored his first of the season, gave Orlando the initial lead in the 19th minute after a shot from Angulo hit off the crossbar found the American striker to pounce on the ball. The win snapped a three-game losing streak to open the 2026 MLS season. Saturday’s game was also the first without former head coach Oscar Pareja following his decision to mutually part ways with the team after a bad run of results that dated back to last season. Assistant coach Martin Perelman was named interim coach following Pareja’s departure. “To be honest with you, I only think about the players,” said Perelman after the game. “I am happy for them; they deserve it. I am so grateful for Mark , Ricardo , Óscar , the players and the fans. I am not thinking about myself. If I am being honest, that is how I feel about this victory.”Orlando travels to take on Nashville on Saturday, March 21 at 6:15 p.m. Mike Gramajo is an Assignment Editor and Sportswriter at WESH 2, who has covered the Orlando soccer scene since 2012.
