Orlando City had to dig deep into its fairly shallow roster to even field a team Friday evening. They were without the suspended Cristian Higuita, the injured Sacha Kljestan and the injured and suspended Yoshimar Yotun. In the defensive midfield they started Carlos Ascues, who was fresh off the plane from Peru just in midweek. The back four had a combined 24 starts in 24 games this season before last night, and included a guy who insists on going by PC (his real name is Victor Giro, so that’s understandable). And let’s not forget that they have the greasy-fingered Joe Bendik in goal.
