Nathan Ordaz - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Assists for draw Ordaz assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Houston Dynamo.

Impact Ordaz provided the only assist during Wednesday's draw. The winger created a pair of chances before Tai Baribo finally finished one and gave him his assist. Ordaz will continue to be a threat in the back half of the season, especially if he can reliably link up with Baribo as a potentially lethal duo up top.

Traded to D.C. United Ordaz was acquired by D.C. United from LAFC, the club announced.

Impact Ordaz made nine MLS appearances this season with LAFC, scoring two goals and adding an assist across 501 minutes, and also featured in five CONCACAF Champions Cup matches. The forward spent three and a half seasons with LAFC after signing as a Homegrown player in 2022, tallying 14 goals and eight assists across 98 appearances in all competitions, with his best campaign coming in 2025 when he produced five goals and five assists in 26 MLS games. A U22 Initiative signing, Ordaz has also earned 14 caps for El Salvador, scoring twice. Ordaz is expected to add depth and flexibility to D.C. United's attack as he can operate as both a striker and a winger.

Nets goal in defeat Ordaz scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 4-1 loss against Houston Dynamo.

Impact Ordaz brought LAFC back into it at 2-1 in the 45th minute, attacking Jacob Shaffelburg's cross from the left before his left-footed strike took a deflection off a Houston defender and snuck into the net for his second MLS goal of the season. The finish gave LAFC a quick spark of momentum heading into halftime, even though Houston eventually pulled away to make things comfortable on the road. Ordaz has now started three straight MLS matches and is clearly carving out a bigger role than he held last season for the Black and Gold.

Messi, MLS Champs Inter Miami Trounced 3-0 By LAFC in Season Opener

Scores late goal in opener Ordaz scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Inter Miami CF.

Impact Ordaz checked in for Son Heung-Min in the 89th minute and wasted no time making his presence felt. Deep into stoppage time, he burst straight through the middle and coolly buried Denis Bouanga's feed to cap off the three-goal advantage, putting an exclamation point on the night. The strike highlighted a ruthless closing stretch from LAFC in the season opeenr and elevated a strong win into a full-blown statement performance. Ordaz now figures to battle David Martinez for a spot in the starting attack moving forward.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Impressive for LAFC Ordaz made 17 goals in 29 MLS appearances (including the playoffs) during the 2025 season.

Impact Ordaz wrapped up his third season with LAFC, continuing his steady year-over-year improvement. He closed out 2025 with six goals and three assists, creating 23 chances and putting 16 shots on target. His strong form also earned him international call-ups with El Salvador. Despite a brief injury spell, the 21-year-old proved to be a dependable depth option, starting in 58 percent of LAFC's matches and positioning himself well for an expanded role in 2026.

Nets goal in win Ordaz scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 2-1 win versus Austin FC.

Impact Ordaz entered the match as a sub for Mathieu Choiniere in the 74th minute and delivered a key impact soon after, as he buried a shot from close range, assisted by Denis Bouanga in the 79th minute of play. The goal marked his sixth of the season, as this marked his second straight game with a shot, but his first shot on target in four appearances.

OCTOBER 30, 2025 • Associated Press

Signs new contract Ordaz has signed a new contract with LAFC until the end of the 2029 MLS season, the club announced Thursday. The deal also includes an option for 2030.

Impact Ordaz is one of the brightest young prospects in LAFC, and he's been rewarded with a new deal that represents that. During the 2025 season, the El Salvador international has started in 15 of his 25 appearances, tallying five goals, three assists, 27 shots and 22 chances created.

OCTOBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will represent El Salvador Ordaz has been called up for international duty with EL Salvador and will miss out against Toronto and Austin.

Impact Ordaz will once again miss time for LAFC as he travels for international duty, missing out Oct. 8 and Oct. 12 when facing Toronto and Austin. This will leave the club without some depth, but will force a change, as he has yet to appear in their past five games. He is expected to return before the playoffs when facing Colorado on Oct. 18.

On bench against Atlanta Ordaz (strain) is on the bench Sunday versus Atlanta United.

Impact Ordaz has completed his recovery from a muscle issue that sidelined him during the last month. He has played in the center and on both wings this season, scoring five goals and three assists over 25 league games. Still, it's unclear if he'll get many opportunities with stars Son Heung-Min and Denis Bouanga leaving only one spot available between Ordaz, David Martinez and Timothy Tillman.

Officially questionable Ordaz (leg) is questionable for Wednesday's trip to Salt Lake, per the MLS injury report.

Impact Ordaz is questionable for Wednesday's clash despite a leg strain that was expected to sideline him for a couple weeks. It appears it wasn't nearly as serious as originally feared. With matches coming in quick succession the fact that this injury wasn't overly serious is a great sign that Ordaz might not miss much time.

Impact Ordaz suffered a muscle strain in Monday's defeat against Suriname and was forced off before the break. The forward will be assessed once back in Los Angeles but his participation in Saturday's clash against San Jose is unlikely. If he misses the game, David Martinez will likely replace him in the frontline.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off injured Ordaz (undisclosed) was forced off right before the break in Monday's 2-1 defeat against Suriname in the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifications due to an injury.

Impact Ordaz suffered an undisclosed injury in Monday's defeat and was forced off right before the break. His exit clearly changed the course of the clash and left Salvador with little chance to win the game. The LAFC forward will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of his injury and whether he will have to miss time with his club. If the injury proves to be serious, David Martinez will likely replace him on the right wing for the Black and Gold.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Creates three chances Saturday Ordaz generated one shot (zero on goal) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against FC Dallas.

Impact Ordaz created three chances in Saturday's draw, his third time this season creating three or more. He added one off-target shot and one interception before he was subbed off in the 62nd minute for David Martinez.
