Martin Ojeda scored his team-leading 11th and 12th goals to lift Orlando City SC to a 2-1 victory over the host New England Revolution on Saturday night in Foxborough, Mass.

Ojeda’s second multi-goal performance this season helped Orlando (10-6-8, 38 points) snap a four-match winless run and earn its third road win in its last four tries.

Eduard Atuesta and Ivan Angulo had assists for the Lions, who ran their unbeaten run against the Revolution (6-10-7, 25 points) to five matches in MLS play. Four results have been wins.

Halftime substitute Tomas Chancalay briefly pulled New England level 10 minutes into the second half when he caught Orlando goalkeeper Pedro Gallese cheating off his near post.

But that equalizer stood for only three minutes as the Revs saw their winless run extended to eight matches while conceding multiple goals for a sixth time in that stretch.

Angulo made the slaloming run that helped put Orlando up for good in the 58th minute, beating Matt Polster on the dribble down the left before cutting the ball back to the corner of the 6-yard box.

Ojeda sprinted forward to meet the pass there with a thunderous first-touch finish that overpowered Aljaz Ivacic on its way into the roof of the net.

New England had a couple of decent looks at a second equalizer, but Gallese made up for his earlier error on the best of them, denying Chancalay’s next on-target attempt in the 65th minute and Peyton Miller’s effort in the 74th.

The Peruvian international finished with three saves.

Ojeda opened the scoring in the 18th minute when he raced onto Atuesta’s direct ball over the top.

Ivacic misjudged the pass and charged off his line, only to be beaten to the ball by Ojeda, who touched it around the goalkeeper and then finished into an open net.

Chancalay briefly brought the Revs level after reaching Ilay Feingold’s ball across the box, taking a couple touches to his right, then dragging a low finish across his body and inside the near left post that clearly caught Gallese off guard.
