Ojeda’s Long-Range Goal Gives Orlando 1-0 Win

Orlando City defeated the New England Revolution 1-0 in Orlando on November 7, closing the MLS regular season with a win that ended a three-game stretch without a victory. Braian Ojeda scored in the 45th minute, striking from 24 yards to put Orlando ahead.

Goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau made two saves for Orlando. New England’s Matt Turner stopped three shots. The Revolution had 62% possession, but Orlando attempted more shots, 13-8, and led 4-2 in shots on target.

New England finished as the Eastern Conference’s No. 3 seed, with the playoffs scheduled to begin November 19. The Revolution will face sixth-seeded Philadelphia in a best-of-three first-round series, hosting Game 1.

Orlando, the No. 8 seed, snapped its winless run and is set to host No. 9 Cincinnati in the Eastern Conference wild-card round on Thursday. The result leaves the teams with different postseason routes: New England enters the first round, while Orlando must first get past Cincinnati.
