Orlando City midfielder Wilder Cartagena reaches 100 appearances

Peruvian midfielder Wilder Cartagena has reached a milestone of 100 appearances for Orlando City in Major League Soccer. Despite the achievement, the 32-year-old has expressed uncertainty regarding his future with the club, noting that while he wishes to stay, contract negotiations are being handled by his representative.

On the pitch, Orlando City recently played to a 2-2 draw against New York City. Goals for Orlando were scored by Antoine Griezmann and Martin Ojeda, while New York City responded through Alonso Martinez and Nanitamo Shore. A missed penalty by Talles Magno prevented New York City from taking the lead late in the match.

Orlando City currently sits in seventh place in the standings with 42 points, maintaining a position within the playoff qualifying spots. Cartagena joined the club in 2024 and has recorded three goals and two assists during his tenure.
