Saturday night's soccer match at the Inter & Co Stadium was all about maintaining streaks and setting the stage for the upcoming Leagues Cup. Orlando City faced off against New York City FC, each determined to extend their form, and the result was a tactical 1-1 draw. Orlando City now carries a five-game unbeaten streak, according to ClickOrlando, while WESH highlighted the effort of Lions’ forward Ramiro Enrique, who continued his scoring run, now tallying four consecutive matches with a goal.

In a match that saw an attendance of 22,827 fans, the atmosphere reflected the intensity of the competition. Lions coach Oscar Pareja said, "Big effort from the players after these couple weeks that we had been playing every three days," in a statement, as reported by ClickOrlando. Matching the effort on the pitch, Hannes Wolf netted one for New York City FC moments after Enrique's goal, ensuring the scoreboard read 1-1. Pareja reaffirmed his team's resolve in a WESH interview: "We wanted more; in the second half, we brought more energy and created better chances, and we should have won the game."

The draw also sheds light on individual performances, such as Martin Ojeda's contribution to Orlando City's attack. Notably, Ojeda's shot deflected off Enrique for the game's opening goal, marking his sixth goal involvement in as many games, mixing two goals and four assists, as per WESH's report. Orlando will now shift their focus from the regular season to the Leagues Cup 2024, a month-long tournament featuring both MLS and Liga MX teams. They will first host CF Montréal on July 26 in group play at home.

Orlando's schedule in this tournament starts with a home fixture against CF Montréal, followed by a clash with Atletico San Luis on August 4. Both Group Stage matches, will be played at Inter & Co Stadium, offering home-field advantage as the players contend for silverware before the regular season picks up again on August 24, as detailed by WESH.
