SANFORD, Fla. — After a weekend of delayed games and delayed flights, Orlando City is back in town to host the quarterfinals of the Open Cup against New York City FC on Wednesday.
Orlando City was forced to postpone its rematch with Philadelphia to Sunday, then had to wait an extra day to travel home due to technical issues with its flight. The players finally arrived Monday afternoon, down two days that were originally meant to be used for travel and recovery before Wednesday’s match.
With only one day to prepare, the team now faces NYCFC in the next knock-out round of the Open Cup.
