KISSIMMEE, Fla. (March\u00a08, 2026) \u2013\u00a0Orlando City B (1-1-0, 3 points)\u00a0earned its first win of the 2026 campaign Sunday night, defeating Chicago Fire FC II (0-1-1, 2 points) 2-1 at Osceola County Stadium to remain perfect at home all-time against Fire II at 4-0-0.<\/p>\n
The Lions were lifted by goals from forwards Pedro Le\u00e3o and Justin Ellis.

Chicago equalized in first-half stoppage time when a corner kick deflected several times in the OCB box before falling to a Fire II defender for the finish.<\/p>\n
Ellis delivered the game-winner midway through the second half, receiving a pass from\u00a0Sarajian\u00a0on the left side of the box,\u00a0cutting to\u00a0his right\u00a0foot\u00a0and curling a shot past Chicago goalkeeper Owen Pratt into the upper-right corner.<\/p>\n
