Nani: The product of the Sporting Lisbon academy, the former Manchester
United player had the world at his feet when he started out his career, with
many football pundits hailing him as a future Ballon d’Or winner. But he is
one of the many players who are unlucky to have played in the era of Lionel
Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Still, Nani is one of the most decorated players of this era, winning almost
every trophy he has played for.
Now with Orlando City, the former Portugal international has been scoring for
fun and will be a threat to the hosts in this game as well.

Tesho Akindele: When Orlando City couped for Tesho Akindele in December 2018, they knew they are adding a world-class player to their roster.

of the standout players in this team.

X-Factors:
Jeremy Ebobisse and the replacement for Dom Dwyer: The former a young prodigy who came into his own during Portland’s run to the 2018 MLS Cup. Now he looks an integral part of this team and he has playback the manager with five goals and an assist in the 14 starts.
