Back from the Break
Saturday’s match will serve as the first in three weeks’ time for the Lions and the first of three in the coming seven days. After last taking the pitch on May 29 at Red Bull Arena, City will square off against Toronto before facing a quick turnaround against the San Jose Earthquakes on Tuesday, June 22 in front of a full-capacity crowd. Following that match at Exploria Stadium, the Lions will travel south to take on intrastate foes Inter Miami CF on Friday, June 25 at DRV PNK Stadium.
A First for Silvester
Dutch winger Silvester van der Water found the back of the net for the first time as a Lion in the Club’s last outing, a week after earning his first goal contribution against Toronto FC with the assist on Tesho Akindele’s eventual game-winner.
