MARYVILLE, TN – Stephen Afrifa’s goal in the 12th minute was just enough to hold up as the game-winning goal as league leading One Knoxville SC edged Tennessee Soccer Club 1-0 in a United Soccer League Two match Saturday night at Maryville College.
“The boys went toe to toe with the top team in the league,” said Assistant Coach Andy Robertson. “We were able to create some good opportunities but were unable to capitalize. If we were more clinical in the final third, then we likely walk away with a good result.”
TSC 2 opened the match on the attack, creating great scoring opportunities. A powerful volley by forward Kyle Galloway nearly gave the visitors the lead early, but it could not find the back of the net.
In the 12th minute, One Knoxville had a throw in deep in the TSC 2 end. A long throw in was flicked on to the back post where Afrifa was able to finish for the 1-0 lead.
The best moments for TSC 2 came midway through the second half when substitute Tyrese Spicer came on and had three prime opportunities to score, only for One Knoxville’s goalkeeper Ryan Troutman to come up with brilliant diving saves denying the equalizer.
TSC 2 returns to action Tuesday, June 28th facing the Peachtree City MOBA at Ravenwood High School Stadium kicking off at 7:30 pm CT.
