Welcome to your live match thread for tonight's friendly match-up between Orlando City and EPL side Stoke City, kicking off at 7:30 at the Titan Soccer Complex in Melbourne. It’s a mid-summer friendly between two clubs that signed a partnership deal back on May 6.
The last (and only previous) time the Lions hosted the Potters, the Premier League side eked out a 1-0 victory in front of more than 10,000 fans at the Citrus Bowl. That was back in the USL days for Orlando but the venue tonight will keep the attendance far below the 2012 meeting.
