Louisville fielded a lineup mixing experienced players and academy talent. Jake Morris started at left wingback, coming off a two-goal match the previous weekend, with Manny Perez on the opposite wing. Notable starters included Phillip Goodrum returning from injury and LouCity academy product Carlos Moguel Jr. in midfield[6]. The bench featured three academy players, showing the club’s focus on developing local talent[6].
