Mauricio Pereyra and Martín Ojeda Providing Orlando’s Assists
Mauricio Pereyra and Martín Ojeda have been the puppet masters of Orlando City SC’s offense in 2023, and that proved to be the case again on Matchday 36 as they combined in the build-up to Duncan McGuire’s game-winning goal over Nashville SC.
The midfield duo has been pulling the strings of one of the most prolific offenses in MLS this season, providing 10 assists each through 32 games played by Orlando. They are one of three pairs of players from a single team to record at least 10 assists each this season and are both on course to tying Orlando’s club record for most assists in a season.
Pereyra currently holds the record with his 11 assists from 2022, but the Uruguayan is looking to outdo his high standard of play this season while Ojeda is also on the hunt for a bit of Orlando history in his first MLS season. Pereyra, Ojeda, and Orlando will return to action this Saturday, Oct. 7 when they host the New England Revolution (7:30 p.m. ET, MLS Season Pass) in hopes of moving one step closer to a new club record.
