Speaker 1: us here at the SDH Network.
Speaker 2: Many cruise lakall NYCFC with the interception, pulls it back,
Speaker 2: stolen out Luke Brennan.
Speaker 1: Luke Brennan on.
Speaker 2: The run, looks for Fermino on the right Formino has
Speaker 2: options in the box. Romino tries to latch four heads.
Speaker 1: It down edit then go.
Speaker 2: Luke Brennan. Started by Luke Brennan stole the ball right
Speaker 2: from NYCFC. Feeds it to Formino on the right Formino
Speaker 2: had the option, launches it in and Luke Brennan just
Speaker 2: heads it right past Burraza to make it one nil
Speaker 2: Atlanta United.
Speaker 1: Then it would end up being a goal for NYCFC two.
Speaker 1: Only five minutes later, Ronald Aravallo with the equalizer that
Speaker 1: would tie things at one, and that would end up
Speaker 1: being the score after forty five minutes. Then in the
Speaker 1: sixty seventh minute, Camilla zam Ruiz would make it two
Speaker 1: to one n YCFC two. But not to be outdone,
Speaker 1: the Cardiac Kids came at it again for Atlanta United.

Speaker 1: be a challenge for NYCFC two. First off Hobby Armis
Speaker 1: and Jake Ruzanski. They would end up scoring in the
Speaker 1: first frame, so we go to the second frame. Alan
Speaker 1: Carlton would end up making it to to one for

Speaker 2: Jade and Hibbert Jaden Hibbert on his line. Klara steps up,
Speaker 2: takes it at inside by Hibbert, but it looks like
Speaker 2: they're calling it that. Jade and Hibbert came off his line,
Speaker 2: but as Kolara was coming in, he took an extra
Speaker 2: step and hesitated for a second. But it looks like
Speaker 2: Klara will get another opportunity. How will Khalara take this one?
Speaker 2: Already had his first one blocked back again, We'll save
Speaker 2: it and Hibbert says it again he was not off his.
Speaker 1: Line that time. Two to one. After two, Gajardo and
Speaker 1: Alusu would make it three two after three. Then we
Speaker 1: get to the fourth frame. Nick Fermino and Luis Barraza
Speaker 1: would be the determining factors.
Speaker 2: Great work from Nick Fermino, Atlanta leads four to two
Speaker 2: in the penalty shootout, Barraza now up to take it.
Speaker 2: Will go up against Jaded Hibbert goalkeeper versus goalkeeper Barraza,
Speaker 2: and we'll launch.

Speaker 1: one was tight for a long time. Here's the highlights
Speaker 1: from Starfire, courtesy of our friends at MLS Next Pro
Speaker 1: and Apple TV.
Speaker 4: First off, for a DSA, it is this unit with
Speaker 4: three changes. Those three names Kalani Kosa, Rand say Well,
Speaker 4: Cody in particular, Max Eisenberg, Jaden Jones, Riley and also
Speaker 4: a change in goal for them, Ryan Pilachut, who will
Speaker 4: not only be between the state, we'll get things going
Speaker 4: for us here. Who will have the last say in
Speaker 4: this series? It's Tacoma in Portland doing battle one more
Speaker 4: time this regular season.
Speaker 1: Really, Berdanand's ball comes diping in.
Speaker 4: Blake Pope cut on the end of it, captain by
Speaker 4: Jaden Jones Riley.
Speaker 1: Here's his service, dipping down.
Speaker 4: And attempt at a bicycle kick, and that is a
Speaker 4: bad collision in the air. It's gonna be a second
Speaker 4: yellow card for Joshua Penn, which means that his night
Speaker 4: is over. And then here's the opportunity that results it
Speaker 4: in the second yellow card. And he just gets a
Speaker 4: piece there of Giomiglietti as he went up for a
Speaker 4: bicycle kick. That is Matthew Morgan. It's closer to blowing
Speaker 4: his whistle. One more lofted ball and it's knocked out
Speaker 4: and that will do it. Well, it's all even on
Speaker 4: the score sheet, but it's not all even in the lineups.
Speaker 4: And we are back underway. Here see Tyler Clegg here
Speaker 4: bringing this one forward. It's still Clegg. He shoots, it's
Speaker 4: Tyler Clegg.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. The individual effort.
Speaker 4: The center back takes batters into his own hands, and
Speaker 4: the expression on Keishaw Ferdinand's face tells the story.
Speaker 1: You go down to man.
Speaker 4: That means more responsibility for every player. And in this case,
Speaker 4: Tyler klagy a defensive player going on the attack and
Speaker 4: let anyone fly. Meanwhile, on the Tacoma side of things,
Speaker 4: meg Leyety his night is done.
Speaker 1: Keno floats it up, it's headed down. Then we're a level.
Speaker 1: Here a wonderful set piece.
Speaker 4: Came in wide and the header brought it down right
Speaker 4: on top.
Speaker 1: Get Chino Burke, failing cuts to his right, plays it.
Speaker 4: Back across and Tacoma have the lead and it's Broudilio
Speaker 4: Rodriguez giving his side the advantage. Late in the match,
Speaker 4: he is able to start the progress forward. Here's Susa
Speaker 4: one time, you're back across. It's Rodriguez again. Rodriguez back
Speaker 4: across and they score. Icing on the cake for Tacoma.
Speaker 4: Wonderful giving go there between Rodilio Rodriguez and the goal
Speaker 4: scorer Sebasti Comz. This service falls down. Lenaries as to retreat.
Speaker 4: Here's the shot and it's into the back of the net.
Speaker 4: It's a brace for Tyler Klagg another goal from distance.
Speaker 1: Perhaps they're not finished yet.
Speaker 4: Here Rodriguess taps it aside, it returns to him and.
Speaker 1: That should do it. The defiance won't be tonight, and.
Speaker 4: It's two goals and an assist. They are takes a step,
Speaker 4: loses the ball still on the fray. Now Comez shoots
Speaker 4: insult to injury against their rivals Sebastian Gomez with the
Speaker 4: brace of his.
Speaker 5: Own and that is the ending here.
Speaker 1: Don't let the score line fool you.
Speaker 4: This one was tight, but at the very end a
Speaker 4: flurry of goals from Tacoma give them a comfortable.
Speaker 1: Win five to two. A lot of goals leaked for
Speaker 1: Tacoma defiance, but they get the full win five to
Speaker 1: two over Portland Timbers two. Midweek Eastern Conference action, it
Speaker 1: was ny CFC two Toronto FC two tied after ninety
Speaker 1: Toronto FC two got the extra point, winning four three.
Speaker 1: In PKS, Philadelphia Union two two nil winners over Carolina
Speaker 1: Corps North Texas three to one winners over Ventura County
Speaker 1: at bobcat Field, which sets up the standings in both
Speaker 1: the East and the West. Months again, will set things up,
Speaker 1: because remember it's eight teams in and then you get
Speaker 1: the whole thing about picking your first round opponent, that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. With the win, Philadelphia Union two now
Speaker 1: leading at forty six points, FC Cincinnati two at forty
Speaker 1: five NYCFC two at forty two, Columbus Crew two at
Speaker 1: forty two, Crown Legacy and once again miy CFC two
Speaker 1: better goal difference. They had the same amount of wins
Speaker 1: after twenty four matches, Crown Legacy at forty points and
Speaker 1: twenty four matches Orlando has won less win. You're five
Speaker 1: and six a Messi and Friends two inner Miami CF

Speaker 1: So it's up against the wall for Chattanooga FC as
Speaker 1: they only have three matches left in the regular season
Speaker 1: to try and establish where they're going to be in
Speaker 1: the playoff discussion. So Chattanooga is the eight, Chattanooga, Sorry,
Speaker 1: Chicago is the eight. Chattanooga f C is your nine
Speaker 1: that gets you to Carolina Court thirty four points in tenth,
