Welcome to your match thread for tonight's Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup match-up between Orlando City and Miami FC of the NASL at Orlando City Stadium. It’s the first ever meeting between these two clubs and it should be an entertaining game.
The Lions are 10-6-1 all-time in U.S. Open Cup play, 2-2-1 since jumping to MLS. That lone draw came in 2015 at the Charleston Battery, with the Lions advancing on penalties (8-7) following a wild 4-4 final after extra time. Orlando City was 1-1 against NASL clubs a year ago, beating Jacksonville Armada away before falling at the death of extra time at home against the Fort Lauderdale Strikers.
