“There’s been sending offs in both games. There’s been lots of action and lots of goals, so I don’t’ anticipate anything different. We both like to play an open brand of football and get after it, so I don’t see anything different this weekend. Just the importance of it has ramped up a little bit – certainly for us after the results in the past few weeks.”
With both teams splitting three previous results earlier in the season (1-1-1), a budding rivalry has been brewing between both Clubs.
After falling with 10 men at MAPFRE Stadium on April 18th, Orlando responded with a 2-2 draw against a 10-man Crew SC side at the Citrus Bowl, due to Pedro’s Ribeiro’s scintillating long-distance strike in the waning moments of the game.
