KANSAS CITY, Kan. — It's back to MLS regular-season play for Orlando City as the starting lineup for the Lions' game against Sporting Kansas City has dropped.
Head Coach Oscar Pareja is going with his usual starters, with almost a carbon copy of their Leagues Cup lineup from two weeks ago. Kyle Smith coming in for Rafael Santos is the only change.
On the bench, Duncan McGuire is available fresh off his new contract with the Lions, while Yutaro Tsukada makes his first appearance in the substitutes as a member of the first team. Tsukada is also fresh off a game last night with Orlando City B in which he scored and assisted in a 4-1 win over Atlanta United 2.
Here's the rest of Orlando's lineup and bench when the team takes the pitch at 8:30 p.m. ET on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV:
Orlando City lineup: Pedro Gallese, Dagur Dan Thorhallsson, David Brekalo, Robin Jansson (c), Kyle Smith, Ivan Angulo, César Araújo, Wilder Cartagena, Facundo Torres, Martin Ojeda, Ramiro Enrique
Substitutions: Javier Otero, Felipe, Jeorgio Kocevski, Nico Lodeiro, Duncan McGuire, Luis Muriel, Rafael Santos, Rodrigo Schlegel, Yutaro Tsukada
