It was a difficult preseason for Orlando City midfielder Cristian Higuita. He came into training camp with an injury and had loads of new competition for spots in the lineup. It took a few months, but Higuita has now emerged a key contributor to this 2018 Lions squad.
Higuita made his first appearance of the year out of a necessity. RJ Allen came down with an injury in the first half against Philadelphia and Higuita was thrown into action, taking Will Johnson’s place in the midfield so that the veteran could move to right back.
It’s a classic and overused sports saying.
