Itâs the Semifinals of the U.S. Open Cup and Orlando City will square off against Atlanta United at Exploria Stadium.
James OâConnor has thrown out a first choice lineup in pursuit of a trip to the final.
In goal, Adam Grinwis will continue his magical Open Cup run. Cityâs second-year keeper has made miraculous saves throughout the tournament, including the teamâs PK shootout against NYCFC.
In front of him is the standard four of JoĂŁo Moutinho, Robin Jansson, Lamine SanĂŠ and Ruan. The backline lead the Lions to a clean sheet against FC Dallas on the weekend.
In the midfield, Will Johnson, Sacha Kljestan, and Sebas MĂŠndez will lead the charge.
Up top, itâs the attacking trio of Nani, Dom Dwyer, and Tesho Akindele. With Chris Mueller and Benji Michel available from the bench, look for high pressure from this group all match.
Starting XI Presented by Orlando Health: Grinwis, Moutinho, Jansson, SanĂŠ, Ruan, Johnson, Kljestan, MĂŠndez, Nani, Dwyer, Akindele.
