Louisville City FC’s lineup will contain something Saturday it has largely missed so far this season: consistency.
Off last weekend’s 1-0 victory over Detroit City FC, coach Danny Cruz made just one change heading into a 7:30 p.m. kickoff against San Antonio FC.
Enoch Mushagalusa will re-join the starting 11 with midfielder Jorge Gonzalez suffering a midweek knock. Otherwise, it’s the same side that put in a dominant, bounce-back performance against Detroit as LouCity reeled from rare consecutive league defeats.
Rookie Oliver Semmle continues in goal, where has posted three clean sheets in as many appearances across all competitions this year.
Amadou Dia, Josh Wynder, Sean Totsch and Manny Perez make up LouCity’s back four in this USL Championship Final rematch. This serves as a sendoff game for Wynder, who has been called up by the U.S. Men’s National Team for its April camp.
The midfield consists of Tyler Gibson, Rasmus Thellufsen and Paolo DelPiccolo with a front three of Mushagalusa, Brian Ownby and Wilson Harris, who scored his first goal of the year in the Detroit victory.
Niall McCabe misses out due to injury, while Wes Charpie and Ray Serrano are also missing from the team sheet after being declared questionable coming into the weekend.
