Amid rumors that he could be called up by Ricardo Gareca to return to the Peruvian National Team, Carlos Ascues faced his match for the MLS between Orlando City and Kansas City, valid for matchday 26 of the Major League Soccer. The Peruvian midfielder was very active throughout the match and caused the first -and only- goal of the match.
Only 21 minutes had passed in the match at the Orlando City Stadium, when Rossel sent a through pass for the Peruvian midfielder to advance towards the right flank of the attack and, on his first touch, send a ground cross for Akindele, who had a good position, to score.

The rest of the match was all for Orlando, who knew how to control the spaces and moments of brilliance from the rival to avoid conceding a goal. Apart from a few situations in which the Purple defense and goalkeeper Rowe shone, they managed to contain Kansas's attack.
With this victory, Orlando climbed to eighth place in the Eastern Conference with 33 points. In addition, Carlos Ascues continues to earn points to be considered by Ricardo Gareca. In the last few hours, it was known that the former Alianza Lima player is being watched by 'Tigre' and could be called up for the friendly matches against Ecuador and Brazil, which will be played in the United States.
