VANCOUVER, BC - The Canadian kids are out to play at BC Place tonight when Vancouver Whitecaps FC host Orlando City SC at 7 p.m. Limited tickets are still available.
KICKOFF: 7 p.m. PT | TV: TSN1/4 | RADIO: TSN 1410
Here are three things to watch out for.
THE KID'S DEBUT?
Whitecaps FC announced on Friday the addition of 15-year-old Alphonso Davies, and the young winger will be eligible for selection against Orlando City SC tonight.
Already having started two Amway Canadian Championship matches with the first team, it will be interesting to see how Davies fares against MLS competition should he get the nod.
CYLE LARIN IN VANCOUVER
Orlando City SC have a bright young Canadian of their own in Cyle Larin.
Last season's MLS Rookie of the Year already has eight goals and three assists this season and will be making his BC Place debut in an MLS uniform.
Coming off their first clean sheet since April 23, the 'Caps backline will have a tough test in marking the 21-year-old from Ontario, who will be without teammates Kaká (injury) and Brek Shea (suspension).
THE BUG HITTING HIS STRIDE
After a relatively quiet start to the season, Cristian Techera enters the match riding a two-match goal-scoring streak.
Techera opened his 2016 account last Saturday when he drew a foul inside the box in the 87th minute. He scored on the ensuing penalty kick to momentarily give the ‘Caps a lead in the eventual 2-2 draw versus Colorado Rapids.
Four days later, El Bicho was at it again, launching a rocket from over 25 yards in the ‘Caps 2-0 win versus Real Salt Lake.
With eyes on the young Canadian prospects, Techera could very well steal the show once again. Make sure to be there. Click here for tickets.
