Orlando City B has made a strong early statement in the 2026 campaign against its intrastate rival. Through two meetings with Inter Miami CF II, Orlando City B is unbeaten after a 4-4 draw on March 22 and a 4-1 victory on May 24.
The March 22 matchup at Inter.co Stadium was the more dramatic of the two. Orlando City B and Inter Miami CF II finished level at 4-4 before Orlando City B claimed the extra point in the end-of-regulation shootout. Two months later, on May 24, Orlando City B backed up that result with a more comfortable 4-1 win at Osceola County Stadium.
Haruna has driven the recent attack
Issah Haruna has been one of the main reasons Orlando City B has kept finding goals lately. In the team’s most recent outing, the midfielder recorded a goal and an assist, part of a stretch in which he has produced three goal contributions over Orlando City B’s last two matches.
That recent run has taken Haruna to eight goal contributions on the season, including five goals and three assists. For Orlando City B, that is the kind of production that can steady an attack and make the team more difficult to defend, especially in close games.
More scoring help against Crown Legacy FC
Orlando City B also showed its balance in a 3-2 victory over Crown Legacy FC. Matthew Belgodere scored one minute after halftime, and Gustavo Caraballo added another goal two minutes later to help swing the match in Orlando City B’s favor.
Those quick strikes showed how fast the Lions can change a game when they find rhythm in the final third. It also gave another example of how the scoring has been spread across multiple players rather than relying on just one option.
For now, the clearest takeaway from the Inter Miami schedule matchup is simple: Orlando City B has handled Inter Miami CF II well in 2026. One draw and one win through two meetings is a solid return, and it gives Orlando City B a clear edge in the season series so far.
