What They're Saying
City manager Jason Kreis (via MLS): "It feels like it's a little bit of a second season for us. It's very exciting and press conferences like this are all nice. But at the end of the day, you want to be out on the training field and game field with these guys and putting it all together."
Orlando City manager Adrian Heath (via MLS): "The team that wanted to be in the semifinal of the Open Cup got through and that's the sad part. We'd spoken about the opportunity for three days beforehand. No disrespect to Philly, but you would rather go there than New York, and I think they will realize what they missed now."
The In-Form Player
Cyle Larin had his red card rescinded by a review panel, allowing him to feature in Sunday's contest. In 14 appearances this season, the 20-year-old has six goals.
