Orlando City, Pride test rosters with preseason scrimmages

Orlando City picked up the second draw of the preseason with a 2-2 finish against the Chicago Fire on Saturday. Wingers Benji Michel and Andrés Perea netted the two goals for the Lions.

Coach Oscar Pareja tested out several different rotations and lineups against the Chicago Fire. Midfielder Andrés Perea dropped to the right centerback position alongside defender Rodrigo Schlegel for 15 minutes of the match with Kyle Smith and Michael Halliday in the outside back positions.

Smith continued to fill the left back position in the lieu of starter João Moutinho, who is recovering from hip surgery.
