Last game

Despite not reaching the Leagues Cup knockout stages, Orlando picked up two positive results during Phase One: a 2-1 win over CF Monterrey and a penalty-kick triumph vs. Atlético de San Luis following a 2-2 draw.

Griezmann & Co. will hope to keep the good vibes going as they continue their climb toward the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs.

Players to watch

Antoine Griezmann: The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner has 2g/1a in his first six games since joining Orlando from Atlético Madrid.
Marco Pašalić: The dynamic winger, who calls his left foot his "weapon," represented Croatia at the 2026 World Cup.
Maxime Crépeau: Another 2026 World Cup veteran, Crépeau was Canada's starting goalkeeper as they made the Round of 16.
Justin Ellis: The homegrown forward and US youth international is enjoying a breakout season and scored midweek vs. San Luis.

Need to know

Griezmann arrived with a bang last month, leading Orlando to eye-popping wins over the San Jose Earthquakes (4-0) and Supporters' Shield-leading Nashville SC (1-0).

They've since cooled off, going 1W-2L-1D in their last four games across all competitions. Now, a statement performance during their return to league action would give Orlando a much-needed confidence boost.
