BRENTWOOD, TN – Despite Tennessee Soccer Club League Two controlling play in a game of attacking opportunities, it was an unfortunate bounce that allowed the Tri-Cities FC Otters to take a 3-2 victory Saturday night at Ravenwood High School Stadium.
The decisive Tri-Cities goal in 56th minute occurred as a ball was played over top of the TSC 2 defense and bounced over goalkeeper Michael Sibley. In the scramble that followed, Otters forward David Panter was able poke home the game winner.
“I was a tough one tonight,” said Assistant Coach Andy Robertson. “I think over the course of the game we probably had the best chances. We made a couple of errors which cost us in the end.”
The first half saw a flurry of opportunities early for TSC 2, but it was Tri-Cities who opened the scoring in the 14th minute when forward Patrick O’Halloran hit a side volley into the net off a service that was headed down.
The visitors did not waste any time doubling the lead to 2-0 when O’Halloran eluded the TSC 2 defense and sent a shot that found the lower corner just 30 seconds after the first goal.
The home side cut into the lead as forward Tyrese Spicer dribbled through several Otter defenders and chipped the goalkeeper to bring TSC 2 back into the game in the 20th minute.
Spicer stayed dangerous the entire first half, giving TSC 2 a number of good opportunities attacking the left side with driven balls across the face of goal, but ultimately unable to find the target.
Just after the halftime break, in the 48th minute Kyle Gallaway leveled the score at 2-2, beating the goalkeeper to the upper corner on a penalty kick after he was taken down in the box.
TSC 2 returns to action Monday, May 30th facing the Southern Soccer Academy at Ravenwood High School Stadium kicking off at 7:30 pm CT.
