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.

Thomas Müller to Vancouver Whitecaps: MLS lands one of its biggest ever signings
The Vancouver Whitecaps are on the verge of completing one of the most high-profile acquisitions in Major League Soccer history. According to sources close to the deal, the Canadian club has reached a verbal agreement to bring in German legend Thomas Müller, the 35-year-old Bayern Munich icon and 2014 World Cup winner. The move includes up to $400,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM) to finalize the MLS mechanisms needed to facilitate the transfer. Only minor bureaucratic steps remain before the deal becomes official. Müller in MLS: A Long-Awaited Move Müller has long expressed interest in finishing his career in North America, and Vancouver has now emerged as his chosen destination — beating out interest from clubs like LAFC, who reportedly made a late push in recent weeks. If finalized, the signing would represent not only a massive upgrade on the field, but a transformative leap in international visibility and ambition for the Whitecaps — a club that recently reached the final of the Concacaf Champions Cup and is currently in the mix for the Western Conference lead. The Missing Star in Vancouver's Project Toronto had its Italian experiment. Montreal had its Drogba moment. Vancouver, until now, lacked a marquee name. That ends here. With Müller, the Whitecaps secure not just a brand, but a player who embodies professionalism and pedigree. Nearly two decades at Bayern Munich. Over 700 appearances. Twelve Bundesliga titles. Two Champions Leagues. One World Cup. Yes, Müller may not be in his prime. But his football IQ, leadership, and knack for decisive moments make him a perfect fit for MLS — a league increasingly built around smart veterans who can still dictate games. For a franchise that has quietly become one of the most tactically coherent and well-run in MLS, Müller is the statement signing that could elevate the Caps from contenders to champions.

A new Crew star is Palestinian — fans can't fly his flag
The Crew's big summer signing is Palestinian, and a leaguewide MLS policy will bar Columbus fans from celebrating his heritage at their stadium. Why it matters: Wessam Abou Ali is the presumed new star of the Crew attack, a striker who represents the marquee signing fans have clamored for since Cucho Hernández's departure in February. Now, those fans are seeking an exception to the rule ahead of Abou Ali's arrival, which comes as MLS tries to avoid controversy related to the war and humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Catch up quick: The Crew recently announced Abou Ali's signing in a reported $8.5 million transfer from Al Ahly, the biggest club in Egypt. Depending on bonuses, he could be the team's second-most expensive signing ever. Born in Denmark to Palestinian parents, he debuted for the Palestinian national team last year. Abou Ali can appear for the Crew when his P-1 visa is processed later this summer, according to the team. Flashback: Shortly after the war in Gaza began in October 2023, MLS issued a " temporary measure" banning in-stadium signs, banners, flags and tifos that reference the ongoing conflict, per The Athletic. Zoom in: That measure also placed "a moratorium on allowing new country flags into stadiums," league spokesperson Lauren Hayes has confirmed to Axios. Asked directly if Crew fans would be permitted to bring Palestinian flags in support of Abou Ali, Hayes declined to answer. Yes, but: Hayes says "there's a process in place" for supporters groups to ask teams to permit new flags in a stadium, which the team can pass on to MLS for approval. Leadership of Columbus' Nordecke fan group told Axios they've requested to the team's fan liaison that they be allowed to bring Palestinian flags to the stadium. A Crew spokesperson didn't answer an Axios inquiry as to whether the team would make that request to the league office, and said the team had "no specifics to share at this time." Context: Israeli striker Tai Baribo is the Philadelphia Union's leading goal scorer. Hayes says Israel flags are allowed at Philadelphia's Subaru Park because he was signed in August of 2023, before the new policy was enacted. Between the lines: Crew fans have frequently brought flags of new players' home countries to games without pushback, spokesperson Collin Hill tells Axios. Last year, Algerian flags were allowed when Canadian-born defender Mo Farsi chose to represent the Algerian national team, Hill says. In March, dozens of fans were allowed to bring Ukraine flags into the Nordecke as a show of support for Ukrainian defender Yevhen Cheberko, who was signed in 2023. What they're saying: Morgan Hughes, a longtime Crew support organizer and founder of the #SavetheCrew movement, tells Axios that Crew fans' activism is in the team's DNA.
