Cavalry FC look to get a leg up tonight in Florida

Cavalry FC are looking to get a leg up on the Orlando City SC tonight in Florida.

It's the second match in their opening series as part of the Concacaf Champions Cup.

This is the first time the club or any team from the Canadian Premier League has crossed the border to play soccer in the international event.

The Hamilton Forge also qualified for the prestigious tournament.

Cavalry will need to be their best tonight to make up ground in the aggregate.

They lost 3-0 in their opening leg in Langford, B.C. just last week.

Because it's an aggregate over two legs the Cavs need to win by at least 3 goals in order to tie.

The team arrived in Florida on Saturday to help acclimatize to the near 30-degree Celsius temperature swing.

The game gets underway at 4 p.m. our time.
