WHO: Revolution at Orlando City SC
WHAT: 106th Lamar Hunt US Open Cup, Fifth Round
WHEN: 7:30 p.m.
WHERE: Exploria Stadium, Orlando, Fla.
TV/RADIO: ESPN+ (streaming service)
WHAT’S UP: We’re into the Fifth Round of the US Open Cup, and the Revs will host the quarterfinals should they win against the Lions tonight. On Tuesday we questioned whether the Revolution — and the Lions, for that matter — would put out full-strength lineups tonight, as both sides come in four wins from lifting a trophy.
Sweens here at the Farm, the tacos -- on request from my cousin's daughter Tara -- have been consumed, and it's time for the fútbol. We are underway in rainy Orlando.
Your starting lineups and benches are available, and your match notes are below.
We are underway. Thanks for joining us on BSJ this evening. Periodic updates to follow.
3' Bunbury has a go in the box, Grinwis punches it aside... and DC United has gone up 1-0 after 32 minutes in DC.
4' Orlando offside after the advantage.
6' Penilla blazes Bye's cross over the bar.
8' Big save Matt Turner after Higuita takes the deep volley and slips it in, Turner saves it... at the other end, Grinwis charges off his line to slow the Revs down.
10' Zahibo on the half volley sends a Row Z Special over the bar.
11' 2-1 to NYCFC in DC in the 41st minute. Bronx Blues with two goals in the last nine minutes, this one by Ismael Tajouri-Shradi, as an Orlando player receives treatment.
14' Castillo whistled for a foul on Ruan... he's pleading innocence, but he stiff-armed him... free kick deep into the box, foul on Orlando.
16' Bye with a foul on Patino.... play restarts, Ruan with a deep service, out of reach for Patino at the top of the 6.
17' Orlando concedes a corner, and Moutinho nearly puts it into his own net. Nervy.
18' Corner cleared thanks to a foul.
24' Powers knocks the ball away from Gil as Penilla and Castillo have excellent build-up. Corner to the Revs. Second one.
25' Turner with a save n Ruan as the Lions clear the corner, Patino muscling Caldwell off the ball before getting the counter started.
30' Nothing has really happened the last five minutes.
32' Back underway in DC with the second half.
33' Shout for an Orlando handle falls on deaf ears.
34' Patino with a drive, wide right.... we go the other way, and Agudelo is fouled in the center channel. Free kick, 28 yards away.
35' Gil's free kick goes into the wall and ricochets to Zahibo, slips in to Anibaba... way offside. I had my arm up, that's how easy it was to call.
38' Foul on Anibaba out on the flank, free kick to Orlando.... Mueller's free kick is punched by Turner, caromed out to Patino, who blazes wide.
42' Anibaba slows the Orlando attack after a giveaway in the midfield. Took out Higuita on that, and he's getting some treatment.
43' Higuita coming off under his own power...
44' Ascues, the birthday boy, comes on for Higuita. You hate to see that, Higuita is such a valiant opponent.
45' Zahibo creates a turnover and starts a short counter, but the Revs can't convert. Two minutes minimum added on at the end of the half.
45+1' Castillo is fouled, that'll be a free kick... quickly taken, the chance goes just wide thanks to a deflection. Corner to the Revs.
45+2' Bye with some strong play... but his cross is into the side netting.
HALF
Halftime thoughts: Not too much to write home about; Revs with 7 shots, none on target, and Orlando with 57 percent of the ball. Eager to see the adjustments in the second half.
Second Half underway, and the Revs get us started.
47' ANIBABA steps into the ball. Sends it the other way..... but play slows as Zahibo mis-hits one.
49' Corner for Orlando... nearly through the 18 without touching a purple jersey.
50' Penilla with some tekkers, but he sends it into the Iron Lion Firm.
51' Offside on New England, looked like Agudelo was trying to hold play up in the box.
52' Anibaba is a brick wall as Patino runs into him... Patino goes down, Anibaba stays up.
54' Ruan goes down under a challenge by Castillo, and Castillo is barking after shaking his finger.
56' Corner for the Revs after Castillo went after Ruan, Ruan knocks it over the end line.
57' Bunbury with the run to get the noggin on it... play goes the other way.
60' Penilla dances in after nice play by Agudelo, and Powers slides in with a well-timed challenge to deflect. This match would be 1-0 to the Revs if it wasn't for Powers.
61' Low cross by Orlando stopped by Turner... great counter by Orlando off the corner.
63' Ruan with a drive, no one from the Revs challenges... through the goal mouth, no one on the back post.... that should have been 1-0 to Orlando had the Lions charged the post.
65' Nani coming on for Patino. Second sub for Orlando.... New York City FC beats DC United, 2-1.
66' ALMOST for the Revs.... Bye had the cross, Penilla mistimes it. SHOULD BE 1-0 TO THE REVS AGAIN.
68' JF Caicedo coming on for Penilla. Remember that Caicedo set up the first goal last week and has three goals this season.
70' Ascues with a smart run and goes down waaaaaay too easily in the box. Didn't have the vision to see his options.
71' Shot by Zahibo.... oooooover the bar. Because of course he does.
72' Mueller with a go, right into Turner's gut.
73' Nani's ticked. He's taken a seat. He and Bye had a run-in over in the corner.
75' JFC with a strong run, he centers, Bunbury backheel, saved by Grinwis. Tip the cap to him. And that was the Revs' first shot on target tonight.
76' Two straight corners for the Revolution... leads to a throw-in.
79' ALMOST TWICE FOR THE REVS. Zahibo with a long ball to JFC, who spins and fires it off the post... Bunbury with the follow-up and goes wide.
81' Michel on for Mueller. Third and final sub of normal time. Remember that if this goes to extra time, Orlando gets a fourth sub.
83' Another corner for the Revs. Eighth corner.
84' Free kick for the Revs coming as Agudelo was fouled.
85' Grinwis leaps and corrals.
86' POST BY AKINDELE. Michel in an offside position. Good lord, este partido...
87' Turner with a save on Powers.
88' Nani with a hard foul on Gil... very Lex Luger-like.
90' Cross into the box, gets through... Ruan down again... he'll receive treatment and there will be some stoppages.... only two minutes minimum, but we'll see how much additional is put up. Extra time is looming.
90+2' Should see a full two minutes now that play has resumed.
90+3' JFC not pleased on a call, the refs change it in the Revs' favor.... well now....
FULL TIME. Extra time on tap.
90' Extra time is underway for the second straight week. Orlando gets us started.
91' Michel with a shot, Turner with the big save.
92' Bunbury cross, just out of JFC's reach...
93' Big collision between Bye, Grinwis, and Jansson...
95' Yellow to Agudelo for simulation.
96' GOAL ORLANDO CITY. Michel slots home on the rebound, and that's his first professional goal. 1-0 to the Lions. He takes two touches off the rebound.
98' Now Farrell is Lugered.... Fagundez coming on for Caldwell. Second Revs sub tonight, two left.
99' Ascues with a shot after Michel comes up with a steal and starts a counter... the shot is deflected.
101' GOAL ORLANDO CITY, and Akidele makes it 2-0 as he has Matt Turner off-balance. 2-0 to the Lions. The shot went off Farrell's foot, and THAT has Turner off.
103' Rennicks in for Zahibo. One DCM remaining on the field right now, and that's Agudelo... playing on a yellow......
104' I spoke too soon. Toni Delamea on for Agudelo. Five defenders in the back now with Turner... five attackers.
105' Gil and Nani with the handbags.... Kljestan goes into the book. Looks like it was Kljestan having words with Bruce Arena, Arena's not having it.
105+3' Fagundez has a go.... Row Z.
Half of Extra time. Revs have 15 minutes to force penalties.
Second half of ET underway
106' Bye with a cross... Grinwis corrals
107' Nani with a deep go... just goes over the bar.
108' That could have been disastrous for Orlando, as Michel's back pass is nearly intercepted by JFC. Powers now down receiving treatment.
110' Powers coming off, De John coming on.
111' Free kick Revs.... gets into the penalty area, the header wide.
112' Rennicks has a go... intended it to be a cross, but it's a shot into the side netting. Yes, JR: That's your bad.
114' Castillo shoves Michel down, and he gets shown a yellow card. Castillo frustrated.
117' GOAL REVOLUTION, And it's Justin Rennicks with his first goal... Gil with the left-footed volley to the back post, Rennicks rises and nods it in.
118' Kljestan with a karate kick.... over the bar.
119' Michel gets booked for a reckless challenge of Fagundez. Castillo gets into the ref's face. Revs need to pour numbers forward now to force penalties.
120' Three minutes minimum added on.
120+1' JFC goes close on the volley. He was looking for the Upper 90.... other way, Nani shoots wide, Turner gets the attack going with the distribution...
120+2' Corner for the Revs after Gil tries to find Fagundez.... just over the bar by Delamea.
120+4' JFC with a shot, Grinwis saves and deflects.... another corner....
120+5' Full Time
