Minnesota United FC wouldn\u2019t let them start it right away. But the Lions scraped out a point in stoppage time with a 3-3 draw.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5r\">It was Tyrese Spicer&#8217;s stoppage-time goal that ensured Ivan Angulo got his 10th assist for the team across all competitions. That puts him <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orlandocitysc.com\/news\/the-road-ahead-driven-by-audi-orlando-city-sc-at-minnesota-united\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">just six away<\/a> from former Captain Mauricio Pereyra\u2019s single-season record. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5w\">\u00a0When Daryl Dike opened up scoring in the 28th minute, it was his 21st goal for the team. That ties him with former teammate Tesho Akindele for 10th on the team\u2019s all-time list.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"61\">Then in the 64th minute, Justin Ellis got a ball to Antoine Griezmann for a goal that put the Lions up 2-0. But the <a href=\"https:\/\/otowns11.com\/second-half-hex-hits-lions-against-leon-in-leagues-cup\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">second-half hex<\/a> hit the Lions again.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"66\">Minnesota goalkeeper Drake Callendar had to sub out with an injury. But that only seemed to drive the Minnesota Loons into a berserk state. In only four minutes, Minnesota scored, equalized, and then took the lead.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6b\">Marcus Caldeira scored with assists from Kelvin Yeboah and Kyle Duncan in the 71st minute. Just three minutes later, Joaquin Pereyra launched a corner kick that Anthony Markakich headed in for a 74th-minute equalizer.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6g\">To everyone\u2019s amazement, Yeboah put Minnesota ahead just two minutes later.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/01m1a5hzq3nvy3cw4wb6.jpg\" alt=\"Tyrese Spicer, Kerwin Vargas\" title=\"Tyrese Spicer, Kerwin Vargas\" width=\"360\" height=\"203\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"6s\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Charlotte FC v Toronto FC | Cory Knowlton\/ISI Photos\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6y\">The Loons played it like a numbers game. They erupted in chances and recorded 20 shots to Orlando\u2019s microscopic six for the game. But the Lions had been watching and started looking for chances of their own.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"73\">Three minutes into final stoppage time, Griezmann grabbed a pass and launched a long ball along the left wing, which Spicer caught. He banked the shot while Griezmann shared an assist with Angulo.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"78\">The 3-3 draw isn\u2019t a win. But it\u2019s a point coming out of a wild struggle by both teams. They each won their points the hard way. Now if only Orlando City SC could beat that second-half hex once and for all.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow otowns11.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=otowns11.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" preventdefault:click=\"\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\" on:pointerenter=\"q-BoGJWvpc.js#s_1NOcOpHWmT0\" on:touchstart=\"q-H9q8BpPo.js#s_R8AiGTDeM28\" on:focus=\"q-BYEsQQaF.js#s_gxiTM6qMMu8\" on:click=\"q-CNwNFlTm.js#s_lDqay9E5m5g[0]\" q:id=\"7j\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ivan Angulo leads Orlando City SC in assists in all competitions after the team tied Minnesota United in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":385848,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[139,141,140],"class_list":["post-385847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385847","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=385847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385847\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/385848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
