Orlando City: Martín Ojeda named Player of the Matchday

This is the first time that Ojeda has been named MLS Player of the Matchday and he is the first Orlando City player to earn the honor since Luis Muriel (Matchday 28 of 2025). 

Ojeda joins Lionel Messi (eight times) as the only Argentine-born players in the last two seasons to take home MLS Player of the Matchday honors.

Ojeda and Orlando return to action on Saturday when they visit CF Montréal (4:30 pm ET | Apple TV).

The MLS Player of the Matchday is selected each matchday of the regular season through both media and fan voting in a process conducted by MLS Communications. A panel of journalists from the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) comprises 75 percent of the vote, while an Instagram fan vote represents the remaining 25 percent of voting. NASR consists of members of print, television, radio, and online media.
