Orlando Firestorm: Atletico Pro FC Dominates CD La Cuadra in 16-5 Rout

ORLANDO, FL – In a high-scoring display of indoor soccer prowess, Atletico Pro FC dismantled CD La Cuadra Dallas with a commanding 16-5 victory on Saturday night at Sofive Lake Nona. The offensive explosion was fueled by a relentless Orlando attack that outshot the visitors 45-27, turning a competitive first period into a lopsided affair by the final whistle.

The Raphael Tobias Show

While the box score was filled with contributors, Raphael Tobias was the undisputed star of the night. Tobias notched four goals, including two critical penalty kicks that helped Orlando seize momentum early. His playmaking was equally lethal, as he distributed a pair of assists to anchor an Orlando offense that seemed to score at will during a five-goal second-quarter surge.


Match Breakdown: From Deadlock to Dominance

The game began with a frantic pace. Dallas actually drew first blood at the 6:27 mark when Steve Betancourt found the back of the net. After a back-and-forth opening frame that saw the teams trade penalty kicks and ended with Orlando clinging to a slim 3-2 lead, the floodgates opened.

  • The Turning Point: Orlando dominated the second period, outscoring Dallas 5-0. Goals from Eduardo Cruz, Guilherme Dos Santos, and Rodolfo Lopes effectively put the game out of reach before halftime.

  • The Dallas Resistance:Jonathan Sandoval was the lone bright spot for CD La Cuadra. Sandoval carried the Dallas offense on his back, netting four of the team's five goals, including a pair of power-play strikes.

  • The Final Blow: Any hopes of a Dallas comeback were extinguished in the fourth quarter. Orlando repeated their five-goal feat in the final frame, highlighted by a short-handed goal from Cruz and a late power-play conversion by Dos Santos to cap the 16-5 victory.

Sunday Matchup- January 11th 2026


Orlando Firestorm Part II: Atletico Pro FC Sweeps Dallas with Dominant Sunday Finale

ORLANDO, FL – Lighting struck twice at Sofive Lake Nona this weekend as Atletico Pro FC completed a perfect home stand, matching their Saturday output with another 16-3 drubbing of CD La Cuadra Dallas on Sunday night. The back-to-back victories move Orlando one step closer to postseason glory, showcasing a high-octane offense that Dallas simply could not contain over 120 minutes of play.

Tobias and Cruz Lead the Charge, Vargas Secures MOTM Honors

If Saturday was a warning, Sunday was a statement. Charly Vargas continued his field dominance as he virtually played a role in every meaningful play. He's proved that stats don't tell the whole story and leadership, hustle, relentless effort and execution are just as meaningful. Raphael Tobias continued his torrid stretch, netting four goals and assisting on four others, including a heads-up play against six attackers late in the fourth quarter to cap the scoring. Not far behind was Eduardo Cruz, who orchestrated the attack with two goals and two assists of his own, while Lucas Montelares chipped in a brace. 


Match Breakdown: Dallas Starts Strong, Orlando Finishes Stronger

Unlike Saturday’s match where Orlando led early, CD La Cuadra came out with a point to prove.

  • The Early Scare: For the second night in a row, Dallas’s Jonathan Sandoval proved to be a thorn in Orlando's side. Sandoval scored the opening goal and followed up with a penalty kick in the second period to give Dallas a brief 2-1 lead.

  • The Surge: The momentum shifted permanently at the 5:47 mark of the second period. After a Raphael Tobias penalty kick tied the game, Tobias struck again just a minute later—this time short-handed—to give Orlando a 3-2 lead going into the break.

  • Power Play Masterclass: The third period was a clinic in special teams. Orlando scored three consecutive power-play goals from Tobias, Guilherme Dos Santos, and Montelares, part of a five-goal blitz that pushed the lead to 8-2 and effectively ended the contest.

  • The Avalanche: The fourth quarter saw Orlando explode for eight more goals, outshooting Dallas 24-10 in the final frame.
