NAPLES, Fla. — Orlando City play their second match in four days tonight as they debut in the 2026 U.S. Open Cup against USL League One side FC Naples.

Only two starters from the match in Columbus start again tonight as David Brekalo will captain the side, while Braian Ojeda starts in midfield. 

Homegrown players Javier Otero, Zakaria Taifi, Tahir Reid-Brown and Justin Ellis will get the starting nods tonight, with Taifi and Ellis making their first-ever starts for the first team.

Tyrese Spicer, who hasn't played since March 14, is back and starting tonight as well, while Yutaro Tsukada makes his first start for the MLS side after missing last season with an ACL tear.
