The Story:

Orlando City is 8W-12L-5D all time against Red Bull New York, with both sides scoring 35 goals in the series. The clubs played to two draws in 2025, with the Lions earning a 2-2 result in New Jersey before battling to a scoreless draw at Inter.co Stadium. The teams last met in the 2026 season opener on Feb. 22, when New York earned the win and Brazilian U-22 Initiative forward Tiago scored his first MLS goal in his Orlando City debut after entering as a second-half substitute.

Orlando City's July 25 win over Nashville SC marked the first time in club history that three teenagers started an MLS match for the Lions, with Bernardo Rhein (18), Justin Ellis (19) and Luís Otávio (19) all in the starting XI. Rhein earned his first career MLS start after signing a First Team contract earlier that day, while Ellis assisted on Tyrese Spicer's game-winning goal.

Justin Ellis has recorded three assists over Orlando City's last two matches and ranks second on the team with five this season. The 19-year-old Homegrown forward earned MLS Team of the Matchday honors after setting up the game-winning goal in the Lions' 1-0 victory over Nashville SC on July 25. Current Form:
