Cooling off a Chattanooga FC side that came in on a three-game winning streak, Orlando City B looked to have their hands full in the first half.
Ignacio Gómez conjured up some magic to open the scoring from an impossible angle in the sixth minute, but CFC responded with two goals to take a 2-1 lead just before the halftime break.
But a four-goal rally in the second half made it a comfortable win for OCB in the end. A brace from Flamengo product Pedro Leão, along with support from Harvey Sarajian and Justin Hylton, sparked the dominant second frame to make it back-to-back wins.
Ikoba played super-sub hero with his brace off the bench to send Sporting KC II over Real Monarchs.
Subbing on in a 1-1 deadlock in the 67th minute, Ikoba's goals in the 73rd and 83rd minutes turned it into a much-needed bounceback win for SKC II.
Ikoba, 22, joined Sporting KC II as a free agent ahead of the 2026 season. A product of the Portland Timbers Academy as a youth, Ikoba played college ball at the University of North Carolina before returning to Portland as a Homegrown. He had a 3g/2a season with FC Cincinnati 2 last year before heading west to play for SKC II.
A huge performance from 18-year-old TFC Academy's Campbell-Dennis put TFC II in great positions for both of their scores in a 2-1 win over Union II.
Finding Fletcher Bank on the wing with plenty of space, his assist opened the scoring in the 41st minute, and he needed no encouragement to keep his foot on the gas as he played helper again in the 51st for fellow Academy man Tristan Blyth.
Those mark the first goal contributions of the year for Campbell-Dennis, who made his sixth appearance of the season in Friday's win. He represents Jamaica internationally and has made appearances for the Reggae Boyz at the U-17 and U-20 levels.
