Orlando City Plays it Smart, Plays to Win in US Open Cup

Orlando City continues its 2016 U.S. Open Cup run tomorrow against the Fort Lauderdale Strikers, and one of its young, up-and-coming players will make yet another appearance with the first team.

Twenty-two-year-old midfielder Tony Rocha was called up today to play with the first team for the second time this tournament. Rocha played with the Lions during their 1-0 win over the Jacksonville Armada, and his strong play both in that game and with OCB made him an obvious choice for Wednesday’s match.

“Getting to play with the first team is always a great opportunity,” Rocha said.
