BRENTWOOD, TN – After a nearly three-hour lightning delay, Tennessee Soccer Club USL League Two was able to finally kickoff its home opener late Saturday night at Ravenwood High School Stadium against in-state rival One Knoxville SC. Unfortunately, a full match was not to be as play was suspended in the 73rd minute due to another storm coming through, giving One Knoxville the 1-0 victory.
Forward Stephen Afrifa got the visitors on the board first, re-directing home a cross from the right flank and getting to the ball just before the TSC 2 defender and goalkeeper Michael Sibley.
Despite the late start, the teams went at it from the start and emotions were high in the in-state battle for three points in the standings.
Each team traded opportunities, however, neither team could crack the scoresheet again.
With One Knoxville in the lead 1-0 coming out of the half and the impending storms coming any minute, TSC 2 brought a renewed urgency searching for the equalizer. The best chance came late, but the shot from 25 yards out sailed over the crossbar.
In the 73rd minute, the second wave of storms struck and the match was abandoned with One Knoxville securing the 1-0 win.
TSC 2 returns to action Saturday, May 28th facing the Tri-Cities Otters at Ravenwood High School Stadium kicking off at 7:30 pm CT.
