Orlando City apparently never gets tired of drawing its opponent, but perhaps the Lions are tired of the 0-0 variety, as they scored not once, not twice, but thrice, and all of them came off the foot of Argentinian Designated Player Martin Ojeda. Our long national nightmare is over as a Lion not named Cyle Larin has netted a hat trick in an MLS match. Ojeda could have scored as many as seven times, as the No. 10 was popping up in spaces everywhere, and it was a joy to behold. Unfortunately, it was not a joy to see a team that had not conceded a goal in six matches (all competitions) give up three to one of the league's lowest-scoring teams. Such as life, as the Lions had to settle for a 3-3 draw against the red-hot New England Revolution.

We broke down the match, discussed most of the key moments, looked back at our score predictions, and made our unanimous picks for Man of the Match.

The mailbagbox was on short rest, but it still managed to hit us with some queries about substitutions, Nico Rodriguez, and more. Remember, if there’s anything — and we do mean anything — you want us to address on the show, just ask us by tweeting it to us at @TheManeLand with the hashtag #AskTMLPC, or hitting us up on Bluesky Social with that same hashtag.

Finally, we previewed Orlando City's midweek home game against Charlotte FC. The visitors will be looking to avenge a best-of-three playoff loss to Orlando in 2024, so there may be a bit of extra sauce on this match. We look at the series history and the current situation the two clubs are in, while providing our key matchups and our predictions for what the final score will be on Wednesday night.

Here’s how No. 478 went down:

26:29– The mailbagbox is always full strength, never rotated.

36:38 - The Lions take one of the less impressive nine-game unbeaten streaks in MLS history (so many draws!) into a midweek clash with Charlotte FC.
