Orlando City SC<\/a> came out swinging against Lionel Messi<\/a>, Luis Su\u00e1rez<\/a>, Jordi Alba<\/a> and the rest of the Inter Miami CF<\/a> squad for Sunday Night Soccer presented by Continental Tire.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The Lions netted three goals courtesy of Luis Muriel<\/a>, Marco Pa\u0161ali\u0107<\/a> and second-half substitute Dagur Dan Thorhallsson<\/a>, cruising to yet another shutout win.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The 3-0 victory<\/a> continues their incredible streak of 12 consecutive matches (6W-0L-6D) without a loss across all competitions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Muriel continued his red-hot form, notching his sixth goal of the season to surpass his goal total from all of 2024.<\/p>\n \u201cI have to admit, it is not a huge point of pride for me to have accomplished this,\u201d shared the Colombian striker when asked about surpassing last year\u2019s totals. \u201cI am, however, happy that I am going through this moment, that I am helping my team by scoring, which is most important, and I want to keep it going, help my team succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n On the other end of the age and experience spectrum, MLS SuperDraft rookie Joran Gerbet<\/a> continues to impress \u2013 especially when tasked with defending none other than Messi. The 23-year-old Frenchman is quickly proving himself a staple in Orlando\u2019s midfield.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve said this a number of times already: we are so glad and so blessed to have Joran on our team. The quality he is developing is outstanding,\u201d said Orlando boss Oscar Pareja.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was playing against Leo [Messi]; he knew he needed to mark him, but he also knew he needed to make his mark on the game. It was a tremendous job. It needed to be done well.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n MURIEL GETS IN BEHIND ???? pic.twitter.com\/Y3Vb4oU1Tk<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Orlando City SC (@OrlandoCitySC) May 19, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n Between the sticks, Pedro Gallese<\/a> kept a clean sheet by making four saves. The shutout made Orlando the first team to hold Inter Miami scoreless at Chase Stadium since Oct. 7, 2023, breaking the Herons\u2019 24-match scoring streak.<\/p>\n It was the Peruvian international’s sixth clean sheet of the year, and sixth in his last eight league matches, a stunning run of form which has vaulted the Lions up the Eastern Conference standings.<\/p>\n But Gallese didn\u2019t just keep a clean sheet; he also contributed with the rarest of feats for a goalkeeper: an assist.<\/p>\n \u201cPedro made an incredible pass into space, and I was able to control that ball, it wasn\u2019t easy,\u201d said Muriel, who finished off the play. \u201cHe saw it \u2013 that\u2019s what was most important and most difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n DERBY DUBZ ???? pic.twitter.com\/EVp6rLGflY<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Orlando City SC (@OrlandoCitySC) May 19, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n Orlando leave this match with not only bragging rights \u2013 at least until the reverse fixture on Aug. 10 at Inter&Co Stadium \u2013 but also an extended lead in the all-time series between the clubs, boasting six wins in 16 encounters across all competitions.<\/p>\n \u201cThe commitment to the game plan was enormous,\u201d Pareja told reporters. \u201cThey wanted so badly to give the fans and the club this performance \u2013 the importance of it, and at this moment. The players played a great game.\u201d<\/p>\n Pareja and his squad will look to carry this momentum into their next match when Nashville SC<\/a>, currently above Orlando in the standings, visit for a US Open Cup<\/a> Round of 16 clash on Wednesday (7:30 pm ET).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe rookie and the vet<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
