HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (June 13, 2026) – Orlando City B (7-3-4, 28 points) scored two second-half goals to overcome a halftime deficit and defeat Huntsville City FC (5-6-3, 19 points) 2-1 on Saturday evening.
The two sides played a closely contested first half, with both teams generating chances across an even opening 45 minutes. Huntsville City FC opened the scoring in the first minute of first-half stoppage time, as Julian Gaines touched home a loose ball in the box following a deflected rebound off a Maximus Ekk strike to give the hosts a 1-0 lead heading into the halftime break.
The Lions responded quickly after the restart, as 16-year-old Orlando City Academy product Matthew Belgodere scored the equalizer in the 50th minute with a right-footed strike from the top of the box off a loose rebound from an Issah Haruna attempt. The goal marked Belgodere’s second professional goal and his second in as many matches after scoring the game-winner in the Lions’ previous victory over Carolina Core FC.
Orlando City B took the lead in the 77th minute, as Jacob Ramírez volleyed a curled ball into the top left corner off a lofted pass from Nicolás Torres. The goal marked Ramírez’s first professional goal and Torres’ first assist for OCB, securing the victory for the Lions and marking the fourth consecutive match in which Orlando City B has claimed all three points.
