The victory moved the Lions to 2\u20111\u20110 and six points and\u00a0showcased\u00a0the team\u2019s resilience under interim head coach Julian Vergara. After earning all three points on the road, OCB now looks to channel that momentum into its\u00a0intrastate rivalry\u00a0match\u00a0against Inter Miami CF II\u00a0at Inter&amp;Co Stadium this\u00a0Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n      Sarajian Shines Again<\/p>\n<p>Rookie\u00a0forward Harvey\u00a0Sarajian, the\u00a0fifth\u00a0overall\u00a0pick in the 2026 MLS SuperDraft, continues to be one of the league\u2019s breakout young stars. With a goal and an assist against Carolina Core FC,\u00a0Sarajian\u00a0now sits at four goal contributions in his first three professional matches, including two goals in back\u2011to\u2011back outings. Against an in\u2011state rival on home turf, the\u00a0rookie\u00a0will look to continue his impressive start.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n      Attacking Trio Heating Up<\/p>\n<p>Forward Justin Ellis scored the equalizer last weekend,\u00a0his second goal of the season and 10th all\u2011time for OCB across all competitions. Alongside\u00a0Sarajian\u00a0and\u00a0Academy\u00a0player\u00a0Caleb Trombino, the Lions\u2019 front line showed dangerous versatility, producing all three goals in the comeback. Their chemistry will again be vital as OCB\u00a0prepares for\u00a0another Florida derby showdown\u00a0this Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n      Trombino\u2019s Breakthrough Moment<\/p>\n<p>In just his second-ever appearance, midfielder Caleb Trombino delivered the decisive moment of the match, heading home the game\u2011winner in the\u00a0fifth minute of second-half stoppage time. The 16-year-old\u2019s first professional goal capped a relentless late push from OCB and\u00a0adds\u00a0another young attacking\u00a0option\u00a0for Vergara heading into Sunday\u2019s matchup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Historic Comeback, Momentum Returned Home Orlando City B returns to Orlando this Sunday, riding the high of a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":201366,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[115,139,18312,141,140,92918,9017],"class_list":["post-201365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-news","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-city-b","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news","tag-orlvsmia-03-22-2026","tag-what-to-watch"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=201365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201365\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/201366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=201365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=201365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=201365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
