KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Orlando City B (8-5-7, 35 points) fell 1-0 to Huntsville City FC (7-7-5, 28 points) on Sunday night at Osceola County Stadium in the club's first match in Central Florida since June 28.

The two sides played an evenly contested first half, with both teams generating chances in attack. Orlando City B goalkeeper Juan Rojas recorded three saves in the opening 45 minutes to keep the match scoreless heading into the halftime break.

In the 64th minute, Huntsville City FC found the game's lone goal through substitute Zidane Yañez. Just one minute after entering the match, Yañez reacted first to a loose ball in front of goal following a deflected shot and finished from close range to put the visitors ahead 1-0.

Orlando City B pushed for an equalizer throughout the closing stages but was unable to find one. The result ended the club's scoring streak at nine consecutive matches, dating back to May 24 against Inter Miami CF II, matching its longest scoring streak of the 2026 season set across the club's first nine matches of the campaign.

Orlando City B will now begin a four-match road trip on Saturday, Aug. 1, traveling to Connecticut to take on CT United FC at Reese Stadium (7 p.m. ET | OneFootball).
