Historic Comeback, Momentum Returned Home
Orlando City B returns to Orlando this Sunday, riding the high of a dramatic 3–2 comeback win over Carolina Core FC, overturning a two‑goal deficit with three goals in the final 15 minutes of play. The victory moved the Lions to 2‑1‑0 and six points and showcased the team’s resilience under interim head coach Julian Vergara. After earning all three points on the road, OCB now looks to channel that momentum into its intrastate rivalry match against Inter Miami CF II at Inter&Co Stadium this Sunday.
Sarajian Shines Again
Rookie forward Harvey Sarajian, the fifth overall pick in the 2026 MLS SuperDraft, continues to be one of the league’s breakout young stars. With a goal and an assist against Carolina Core FC, Sarajian now sits at four goal contributions in his first three professional matches, including two goals in back‑to‑back outings. Against an in‑state rival on home turf, the rookie will look to continue his impressive start.
Attacking Trio Heating Up
Forward Justin Ellis scored the equalizer last weekend, his second goal of the season and 10th all‑time for OCB across all competitions. Alongside Sarajian and Academy player Caleb Trombino, the Lions’ front line showed dangerous versatility, producing all three goals in the comeback. Their chemistry will again be vital as OCB prepares for another Florida derby showdown this Sunday.
Trombino’s Breakthrough Moment
In just his second-ever appearance, midfielder Caleb Trombino delivered the decisive moment of the match, heading home the game‑winner in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time. The 16-year-old’s first professional goal capped a relentless late push from OCB and adds another young attacking option for Vergara heading into Sunday’s matchup.
