Ojeda scores 2 goals, ties a franchise record as Orlando beats Revolution 2-1
Ojeda, on the counter-attack, scored on a first-touch shot off a pass from Iván Angulo to give Orlando a 2-1 lead in the 58th minute. Ojeda has 12 goals and 10 assists this season and his 22 goal contributions are tied the record set in 2019 by Luís Carlos "Nani" Almeida da Cunha. Ojeda has 25 career goals and moved past Ricardo "Kaká" Izecson dos Santos Leite (24) into fifth on the club's all-time regular season list.
Ojeda opened the scoring in the 18th minute, the 26-year-old designated player's 10th consecutive game with a goal contribution.
Eduard Atuesta played an arcing pass from beyond midfield to Ojeda, who slipped behind the defense and beat goalkeeper Aljaz Ivacic to the ball and then flicked it into a wide-open net to make it 1-0.
Tomás Chancalay, who replaced Tanner Beason at halftime, faked a shot to freeze the defense and then rolled a shot from the left side of the area inside the near post in the 55th.
Pedro Gallese had two saves for Orlando (10-6-8)
New England (6-10-7)
Orlando City, which snapped an eight-game winless streak at New England on July 13, 2024 with a 3-1 win over the Revs, has won back-to-back at Gillette Stadium.
The Revolution are 6-2-2 with a plus-12 (23-11) goal differential all time at home against Orlando.
The teams played to a 3-3 tie on May 10.

📽️ Messi tops CR7: more non-penalty goals, 6th brace in 7 games 🐐
Years go by, championships change, but the challenge between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo continues even thousands of kilometers away. Last night, the captain of the Argentine national team scored another double with Inter Miami, the sixth in the last seven MLS games, and surpassed CR7 in a special ranking. As reported by Sports Illustrated, the two goals against the New York Red Bulls allowed Messi to reach 18 goals in the US championship scoring chart, but above all to reach 764 career goals without considering penalties, i.e. one more than Ronaldo. The ranking that also takes into account penalties, on the other hand, still sees the Portuguese champion, now at Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, in the lead: 938 to 865 is the current score of Ronaldo and Messi. This, like the number of Ballon d'Or won (8 to 5 for Messi), are among the most relevant statistics analyzed to establish who is and who can be considered the best soccer player of all time. And who knows that the future may not reserve another season of close duels, given that the Saudi Pro League has been trying to convince Messi, already an ambassador of tourism in Saudi Arabia, to move to their championship for years. This would be the tenth year together after the nine spent in La Liga with the jerseys of Barcelona and Real Madrid. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

5 position battles to watch at Steelers training camp
With just a few days until the Steelers report to training camp on July 23, fans have several positional battles across offense, defense, and special teams to look forward to. Here are the five biggest starting roles up for grabs in Latrobe this summer. Long snapper Although not the flashiest position in the NFL, Steelers starting LS Christian Kuntz will attempt to fend off journeyman LS Tucker Addington — who signed with Pittsburgh in June. Free safety While all signs point to FS Juan Thornhill as the go-to replacement for ex-Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, an undrafted rookie could push the two-time Super Bowl champion for the starting role — none other than standout Iowa Hawkeye DB Sebastian Castro. Fullback Hybrid player Connor Heyward may have hinted at a full-time switch to fullback this offseason — but he first needs to beat out undrafted rookie FB DJ Thomas-Jones, a sleeper to make the 53-man roster. Punter After Steelers starting punter Cameron Johnston suffered a season-ending knee injury last season, Corliss Waitman stepped up in a big way for Pittsburgh. Only one punter will remain in the Steel City — but whether it's the now-healthy Johnston or the talented Waitman who takes the role remains to be seen. Running back Jaylen Warren's time to shine as the Steelers' lead rusher could be in jeopardy — as Pittsburgh drafted one of 2024's best college running backs in Kaleb Johnson. Training camp will serve as the first of many battles to decide whether or not Warren can fend off the rookie third-rounder — and a strong outing in Latrobe could decide the fate of the starting running back position.

Notre Dame football offers top-50 2027 Mississippi defensive end
There isn't much room left in Notre Dame football's 2026 recruiting class, with twenty-six commitments, they can start to look ahead to the 2027 cycle. They already have two commits, just one being a position player, but the Irish have sent out plenty of offers to some of the best prospects in the country. One of them was offered on Saturday evening in Mississippi edge rusher Derwin Fields. The 6-foot, 5-inch and 220-pounder is ranked by the 247Sports Composite as the nation's No. 45 overall prospect, just outside the 5-star range. Notre Dame now joins teams like Alabama, Florida, LSU, Florida State and others in offering Fields, who should end up being able to play virtually anywhere he'd like. It does look like its going to be tough to pull him away from SEC-country, but the Irish have put their hat in the ring. If Fields is able to make it up to South Bend during the season, it would be a great sign for Notre Dame to continue to be in the mix for his commitment. Time will tell if that happens, but for now, the Irish are clearly interested in him joining their 2027 class.
