The Five Stripes will reply to their offensive style of play and look to outscore their opponents come Monday.
Orlando City SC on the other hand emerged victorious against Charlotte FC following a dominant display in the ‘best of three’ series.

Facundo Torres (Orlando City SC)
The Montevideo-born winger has established himself as one of the best players for Orlando City SC. Facundo has been a driving force behind his side’s miraculous run so far and will be expected to continue in the same fashion. His high pressing, playmaking and passing abilities set him apart. With 16 goals and three assists, the Uruguayan international has racked up 19 goal contributions in the MLS this season.
Brad Guzan (Atlanta United FC)
Brad Guzan will be the man to watch out for Atlanta United. He stood tall against Lionel Messi and his star-studded side in the playoffs fixture and pulled off seven massive saves. Even at 40, Guzan has shown no signs of slowing down and has aged like fine wine. His phenomenal leadership skills coupled with his heroics under the bar were one of the reasons behind Atlanta’s triumph over Inter Miami.
