After draws with Carolina Core FC on April 19 and Chicago Fire FC II on April 26, OCB earned the extra point both times from the spot. The most recent match brought a third straight draw against Crown Legacy\u00a0FC, but Orlando came up just short in the tiebreaker as OCB continues to fight for all\u00a090 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n      Sarajian\u00a0Strikes Late\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Orlando City SC forward Harvey Sarajian scored an equalizer in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time to complete Orlando City B\u2019s comeback against Crown Legacy\u00a0on Sunday. It was his fourth goal\u00a0of\u00a0the 2026 MLS Next Pro season. The late strike marked the second straight match in which the Lions found a late equalizer, after Nicolas Lasheras did the same against Chicago Fire FC II to send both matches to end-of-regulation shootouts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n      Haruna Breaks Through\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Midfielder Issah Haruna scored his first professional goal in his fourth start for Orlando City B, igniting the Lions\u2019 comeback in the 80th minute. Following a Gustavo Caraballo corner and a scramble in the box, Bernardo Rhein kept the play alive for his second OCB\u00a0assist\u00a0before Haruna found space atop the area and slotted a composed outside-of-the-foot finish. Haruna also added an assist on Harvey Sarajian\u2019s stoppage-time equalizer, threading a well-weighted pass into space on the right to set up the goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n      Rivalry Renewed in the Peach State\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Orlando City B heads to Georgia for its next MLS NEXT Pro match against Atlanta United 2, continuing a competitive series between the two sides. The Lions went 1-1-1 against Atlanta in 2025, opening with a 2-2 draw on March 16 that was decided by an end-of-regulation shootout in which Orlando claimed the extra point. Atlanta took the May meeting before OCB closed the series with a 2-1 win on Aug. 23. With recent matches repeatedly decided by late moments and spot kicks, Orlando will look to turn those slim margins into points on the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Orlando City B at Atlanta United 2\u00a0 Sunday, May 10, 7:00 p.m. Turner Soccer Complex, Athens, GA Another&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":265693,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[114368,115,139,18312,141,140,9017],"class_list":["post-265919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-atlvsorl-05-10-2026","tag-news","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-city-b","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news","tag-what-to-watch"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265919","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=265919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265919\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
