ORLANDO, Fla. — It's win-or-stay-home time for the Orlando Pride as they host their final match of the 2025-26 CONCACAF W Champions Cup group stage against C.F. Pachuca Femenil. A win gets the Pride into the knockout round, while a draw or loss would see the team eliminated from the competition.
With all that to play for, Head Coach Seb Hines has put out a strong lineup tonight, including Marta, who returns to the starting lineup after coming off the bench last match to help create the game-winning goal against Portland.
Joining her is Cosette Morché, who gets her first home start in Orlando after debuting on the road in Panama. Cori Dyke and Julie Doyle will join the backline of Emily Sams and Rafaelle, the only starters from the match vs. Portland, while Viviana Villacorta, Summer Yates and Luana round out the midfield. Up top, the two Simones, Charley and Jackson, will be the attacking threat.
On the bench, six starters from Friday's match will be available, as well as Elyse Bennett, who has missed the last few matches.
With her start tonight, Marta will make her 150th appearance across all competitions for the Pride, the first player to do so in Club history.
Also hitting a milestone is Viviana Villacorta, who makes her 50th appearance for the Club.
Here's how the rest of the Pride will line up ahead of kickoff at 8 p.m. ET on Paramount+:
Orlando Pride lineup: Cosette Morché, Cori Dyke, Emily Sams, Rafaelle, Julie Doyle, Viviana Villacorta, Summer Yates, Luana, Marta (C), Simone Charley, Simone Jackson
Substitutions: McKinley Crone, Chloe Bennett, Grace Chanda, Angelina, Jacquie Ovalle, Oihane, Carson Pickett, Kerry Abello, Haley McCutcheon
