MIAMI (May 2, 2026) – Martín Ojeda scored a hat trick as Orlando City SC (3-7-1, 10 points) rallied from a three-goal deficit to defeat Inter Miami CF (5-2-4, 19 points) 4-3 at Nu Stadium on Saturday night.
After the home side took a three-nil lead in the opening 33 minutes of the game, Ojeda received a ball from Justin Ellis outside the box and dribbled around three defenders before firing off a long-range strike to pull a goal back from Orlando before halftime.
In the 68th minute, Adrián Marín dribbled into the box and squared a ball to Ojeda, who took a settling touch before rifling a shot to the far post and into the back of the net.
Ojeda completed his hat trick ten minutes later, converting a penalty kick to level the match in the 79th minute.
Orlando City then became the first team since 2018—and just the fourth ever in MLS history—to successfully rally from a three-goal deficit and win, when in the third minute of stoppage time, Braian Ojeda sent Tyrese Spicer through on goal and the latter calmly slotted home.
The Lions will finish up their four-game road stint next Saturday afternoon as they head north to Canada to take on CF Montréal at Stade Saputo. The match will air live on Apple TV, with kickoff set for 4:30 p.m. ET.
