Hours before MLS’ summer transfer window slammed shut, Orlando City hustled to make a deal with the Colorado Rapids.
The Lions traded midfielder Luis Gil to the Rapids and received midfielder Dillon Powers and $100,000 of allocation money in return.
Orlando City acquired Gil, 23, in April on loan from Querétaro FC in Mexico’s Liga MX. He mostly subbed on for Kaká or other attacking midfielders but started in six of his 17 matches played for a total of 597 minutes.
Powers, 26, logged 964 minutes with the Rapids and had 11 starts in 15 appearances.
