After missing the first two games, Ilsinho entered in the game against Orlando City in the 61st minute. It was his first game action of the 2017 season, and didn’t seem like he missed a step. After scoring a pair of goals in the preseason, Ilsinho came within inches of scoring against Orlando City. However, the ball clanked off the post, and Ilsinho came away from the match pointless. Head Coach Jim Curtin said Ilsinho looked good in the match coming off of injury and looks forward to DC United.
“He had a great preseason, really pushed to get his fitness going,” Curtin said.
