Oscar Pareja is thrilled with the character his Orlando City players showed in their 2-2 draw with CF Montreal last time out.
Orlando conceded late against Montreal – in the 88th minute, in fact – but Ivan Angulo scored deep into stoppage time to salvage a point.
It was a result that extended Orlando’s unbeaten streak to four MLS games, as the Lions look to propel themselves up the Eastern Conference standings.
Next up is a home game against Toronto FC, and Pareja was proud of the resilience his team displayed.
He said: “I ve seen the character of the team, and the willingness that we have with this group of players is incredible. It has happened already [this season], and then the last good result has shown that this group has a lot of intentions…
A deflected first-half strike from Rodrygo handed Brazil a crucial 1-0 victory over Ecuador as they halted a three-match losing run in 2026 World Cup qualifying.
Dorival Junior s team approached Friday s game off the pace in the CONMEBOL qualification group, sitting sixth after defeats to Uruguay, Colombia and Argentina in late 2023.
They produced another disjointed performance in Curitiba and were indebted to Real Madrid forward Rodrygo, who struck the winner on the half-hour mark.
Taking Lucas Paqueta s pass on the turn 25 yards from goal, Rodrygo cut onto his right foot before seeing his effort strike William Pacho and nestle in the bottom-left corner.
Rodrygo went close to a second six minutes later but it was far from smooth sailing for the hosts, wh…

Pablo Mastroeni believes the best way for his Real Salt Lake side to improve is by going into the fire as the playoff battle heats up ahead of Wednesday s clash with FC Dallas.
Real Salt Lake have been among the Western Conference pacesetters all season, but they have lost two of their three games since returning from the Leagues Cup break, including a 4-1 defeat to the Houston Dynamo on Saturday.
They remain fourth in the West but just three points separate them from Houston in seventh, while their cushion to the wild-card spots stands at seven points.
There are things we re working out, and it s one thing doing it in practice and another doing it when there are so many variables on the line, Mastroeni said this week.
The only way we build real cohesio…
Gareth Taylor said lessons would be learned from Manchester City s Women s Champions League win over St. Polten on Wednesday.
Having beaten reigning champions Barcelona last week, Alanna Kennedy got City off to a fast start with a fine strike from distance that cannoned in off the post.
However, Melanie Brunnthaler and Kamila Dubcova handed the Norwegian side the lead, only for Aoba Fujino and Mary Fowler to seal the triumph for City at the Generali Arena.
The visitors ended the contest with an expected goals (xG) total of 2.18 from their 17 shots, though only seven of their attempts were on target.
And ahead of their Women s Super League clash with Aston Villa this weekend, Taylor is hoping his players will learn from underestimating an opponent.

Germany manager Oliver Bierhoff says the Euro 2008 side can emulate their Euro 1996-winning predecessors after finally breaking their 12-year winless streak in the competition.
When Bierhoff scored the golden goal which won the Euro 1996 final, giving Germany their third European title, few Germans imagined it would be another 12 years before their side would again win another Euro championship game.
But having returned home early and winless from both Euro 2000 and 2004, the German public was restless for victory before Sunday s Group B win over Poland in Klagenfurt, but their team delivered an impressive 2-0 victory.
I am happy we have broken the jinx and all the preparation work has paid off, said a relieved Bierhoff on Monday.
We can be happy we …
Pep Guardiola s transformation of Manchester City is complete after securing his first Premier League title thanks to Manchester United s 1-0 home loss to West Brom.
City won 3-1 against Tottenham at Wembley on Saturday to move to the brink of glory, but United s shock home loss to the league s bottom side wrapped up the trophy they have seemed destined to lift since the start of an all-conquering campaign.
Guardiola s men were close to securing the silverware faster than any club in the competition s history, falling short of the April 14 mark set by United in 2000-01 by a single day.
While they missed out narrowly on that particular record, here are some of the best Opta numbers from City s special Premier League season.
Champions!!!!!! What a gr…
Kolo Toure believes the youthful current crop of Arsenal stars can emulate the battle-hardened class of 2006 and book their ticket to this season s Champions League final.
The Gunners face Manchester United in the first leg of their semi-final at Old Trafford on Wednesday with Toure the only survivor from the Invincibles squad that went through the 2003-04 Premier League campaign unbeaten.
That squad, constructed around the French trio of Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and Robert Pires, broke up after the 2006 Champions League final defeat by Barcelona but Toure believes the north London club is once again on the verge of something special.
True we lost Thierry Henry, but Emmanuel Adebayor is playing really well; we lost Robert Pires, but we have Samir Nasri, th…
