The Story:
- The Lions return home on Saturday to host Atlanta United FC at Exploria Stadium, their first meeting with The Five Stripes in 2023.
- City enters the weekend fresh off a 3-1 victory over intrastate rivals Inter Miami at DRV PNK Stadium, backed by goals from Ercan Kara, Martín Ojeda and Rafael Santos.
- Kara has now found the back of the net in each of the Lions’ last three matches, looking to match the Club-record for consecutive league matches with a goal this weekend to join former Lions Dom Dwyer, Nani, and Daryl Dike at four.
Quote of the Week:
“Atlanta is a team as well that is looking for their best form like many other teams in the league, including us. They have guys up front that are crafty and some others with speed that we need to control. Similar to other Atlanta teams [in the past], they like to create sequences. We have contributed all of those things already to our game plan and we’ll be ready.”
- Head Coach Oscar Pareja
