Match Report
Orlando took the lead six minutes in. Midfielder Luís Otávio sent the ball to Antoine Griezmann, who played Iván Angulo down the left wing. Angulo attacked the penalty area and beat goalkeeper Chris Brady at the near post from a tight angle for his seventh MLS goal of the season.
The assist was Griezmann’s 12th consecutive MLS match with a goal contribution, tying the club record set by Martín Ojeda in 2025.
Orlando doubled the lead in the 35th minute. Otávio started the attack with a pass to Vinícius Nogueira, who played Griezmann into space outside the box. The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner turned and curled a finish to make it 2-0. It was his 15th goal in all competitions since joining Orlando City this summer, trailing only Ojeda’s 17 for the team lead in 2026.
Chicago cut the deficit in the 57th minute when halftime substitute Jonathan Bamba headed home a cross from Leonardo Barroso at the far post. Twelve minutes later, Bamba set up the equalizer, controlling a rebound off a cross and laying it off for Maren Haile-Selassie, who finished from the edge of the six-yard box.
