Facundo Torres - Creates four chances in lossTorres took a shot on target and created four chances in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Charlotte FC. He also made an interception in the match.

ImpactTorres was active from the left wing on Saturday, but it wasn't enough to salvage a result for his side as Charlotte handed Orlando its first league loss of the season Torres has tallied six shots (two on target) and eight chances created across his four MLS appearances, despite playing an hour or less in two of those games.

Ivan Angulo - Takes two shots off benchAngulo subbed into Saturday's match against Charlotte FC at halftime, taking two shots and creating two chances in the 2-1 defeat.

ImpactAngulo has been in and out of the XI as Orlando has rotated the squad around CONCACAF Champions League fixtures against Tigres in early March. But now that his side is out of the continental competition, Angulo should take over as a regular starter on the left wing in MLS.

McKinze Gaines - Takes shot in winGaines took a shot on target and made an interception in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Orlando City.

ImpactGaines has started two of Charlotte's first four games of the season on the right wing, but Karol Swiderski likely remains the preferred option in the position.

Pablo Sisniega - Benched against OrlandoSisniega was an unused substitute in Saturday's victory against Orlando City.

ImpactSisniega was benched in favor of George Marks after conceding three goals in back-to-back games, and Charlotte won its first game of the season on Saturday. It's possible Marks remains the preferred option in goal until Kristijan Kahlina (back) returns to fitness.

George Marks - Concedes goal to OrlandoMarks made six saves but conceded a goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Orlando City.

ImpactMarks made just his second ever MLS start on Saturday, and he was only beaten by a Martin Ojeda strike as Charlotte won its first game of the season with Marks replacing Pablo Sisniega in goal. The 23-year-old Marks could continue as the starter for the time being until Kristijan Kahlina (back) returns to fitness.

Jaylin Lindsey - Records assist in season debutLindsey assisted a goal and won one of one tackles in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Orlando City. He also made two clearances and an interception in the match.

ImpactLindsey got his first start of the season Saturday and he grabbed an assist for Enzo Copetti's opener against Orlando. Lindsey will compete with Nathan Byrne for the starting right-back spot in Charlotte.

Harrison Afful - Records assist in winAfful took a shot and assisted a goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Orlando City. He also made two clearances and won one of two tackles in the match.

ImpactAfful started his first game of the season Saturday since re-signing with Charlotte, and he set up Kerwin Vargas' eventual game winner against Orlando with his first MLS assist since September 2021. Afful will aim to take over the starting left-back spot as neither Brandt Bronico nor Joseph Mora has convinced in the role yet.
