Had Pittsburgh Riverhounds get a big 14 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.239 one over Rhode Island FC two Neil that gets us 15 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:12.159 to our first match of the week at Patriot's Point Charleston, Sacramento. 16 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:13.879 A lot of folks are thinking that this might be 17 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.799 a precursor to something that will happen down the line 18 00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:20.959 in the playoffs for a title. Here's your highlights courtesy 19 00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:24.400 of our friends at USL Championship, ESPN Plus and YouTube. 20 00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:26.239 This is one of the. 21 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.200 Premier games in the USL Championship tonight, and we are underway. 22 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:40.400 It's the Charleston Battery and Sacramento Republic. Here's Luis Philippe 23 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.200 through the middle for Kieren Phillup Sinaw trying to release 24 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.079 in behind, shooting chance. 25 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:46.599 It's in. 26 00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:57.840 All Dare Sanchez scores for Sacramento and the best team 27 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.239 on the road in the league leads on. 28 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:08.479 The road, and it's incredibly impressive, this little ball. It's 29 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.240 weighted perfectly. What a great strike. It goes to the 30 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.400 near post. It's extremely hard to do, but Sanchez makes 31 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.280 no doubt about it. Strikes it low right in the 32 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:23.240 run of play, and it's a great ball from Phillips. 33 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.800 Even with all of that possession, some of the underlying 34 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.039 numbers still pretty similar. 35 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.280 As this has turned over. Kabho got himself in a 36 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:31.360 tough spot. 37 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.639 But Charleston couldn't keep it similar in terms of touches 38 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.639 in the opposition box and final third entries as they're 39 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:41.120 coming forward again here and a big block by Adam 40 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:45.919 grinwist second since it long down the line and Phillip's 41 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.719 making the long run down the line, He'll get there. 42 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:51.319 He cuts it in phel he has runners with him, 43 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.639 but Alan stepped in to break it up. He's a 44 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.080 heavy first touch Smith trying to clean up the damage. 45 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:01.840 Dam Charleston, do get this away. 46 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:03.719 I think we can expect to see that more from 47 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.080 Zac Republic because Charleston's gonna go for quick. 48 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.960 And here they come with Alan Marchanics through the middle, 49 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:11.000 trying to find Nick Markanick. 50 00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.680 It's in Marchanick stores. 51 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:26.599 Marchanick ties this single season record twenty five. 52 00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:33.759 Goals, one to one. 53 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:35.639 And you can just see the excitement on his face, 54 00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.280 tying up the game. Such an important goal against a tough, 55 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:43.479 stingy Sacramento Republic defending team. But this is a great 56 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.759 counter attacking chance. Chris Allen goes right through. 57 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.719 Over the top. Something on our tour. 58 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:58.919 Rodriguez trying to cut it back. Marchanick was there. Could 59 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:07.319 have been the moment, ready for the delivery. Portillo sends 60 00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:09.759 it towards the top of the area, lining up the shot. 61 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:11.400 It's over the bar. 62 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.159 That all came to be very very well, but Jack 63 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:24.959 Erk could not keep it on frame. Roderquez looking quick 64 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.120 and behind dealt with centrally. Desmond gets it away as 65 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:34.079 far as segburs. Segbers cuts it back, Torres take it 66 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:43.000 off the ball. Chapman, Torres. 67 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:49.600 Chip forward, Segers blocked, Fitty Yellow cleans it up. 68 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.120 This game really coming to life in this second half. 69 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:57.079 It'd be something on here for Charleston. Merchanics in plenty 70 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:05.199 of space and it was just cut off. Segbers now 71 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:10.600 are Turol Rodriguez played through for Chapman who is trying 72 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:14.079 to chip it towards goal and Vitiello claims it. Charlson 73 00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:16.439 trying to win the second ball. Chapman was flying through 74 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.199 nothing doing. Now Sacramento had chanced to turn this upfield. 75 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:24.279 Ammon was slowing his run to keep himself on side. 76 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:29.639 Trevor Ammen puts it on target and taken by Grenwis 77 00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:33.720 Kaboo can stay on the field because the trainer didn't 78 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:37.399 come on, and how Emilio Akasa rolls it into play 79 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:38.800 the Kasa trying to. 80 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:39.240 Get it back. 81 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:41.759 He goes for the low strike and Vittiello makes the 82 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:45.839 same fourth shot on target tonight for Charleston. It's a 83 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:52.560 play on, says the referee. Here's Nick Markannick and hip 84 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:56.040 it towards goal. Pushed into a dangerous area. Here's a 85 00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:59.319 kaza a caza scores. 86 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.920 Oh Bailey, Oh and kaza for the Charles sind Battery. 87 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:13.759 They lead to one. 88 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.279 I'm not exactly sure how Emilio Akasa found the gap 89 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.160 that he found in that, but such great play. It 90 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:24.639 goes from that where they thought the foul was gonna 91 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.279 be called, It wasn't called. They continue to play on. 92 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:29.759 It's merchanic in the white space. This is a good 93 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.959 say from Vitelo, but there's nobody there right here. I 94 00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.759 thought maybe one chance with the opportunity sneaks it past 95 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.839 so many players, and Vitiello might have not been able 96 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.399 to see that as it came through. But it's just 97 00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:44.000 a very good play shot from the midfielder. 98 00:06:47.319 --> 00:07:02.079 Two unanswered goals for the Charlesin Battery. That dazzling Arcanic 99 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.319 flicks it forward, a chance to really put this away. 100 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:09.079 One dovey torres wide. 101 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.560 Wrong side of the post and Sacramento stays in this game. 102 00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:28.160 That was a chance to really seal it, and that 103 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:34.279 is full time. Two unanswered goals for the Charleston Battery. 104 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:37.199 Big come from behind win, for Charleston Battery at home, 105 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:40.920 putting up a marker in the Eastern Conference. North Carolina 106 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.439 FC put five on Oakland Roots at WakeMed and that 107 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:47.519 gets us to match number two. Colorado Springs in downtown Beautiful, 108 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:51.040 Colorado Springs at Widner Field taking on Tampa Bay Rowdy. 109 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:53.279 So here's your highlights once again, courtesy of our friends 110 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.759 at the USL Championship ESPN Plus and YouTube. 111 00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:58.600 Blockbuster written all over it. 112 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:05.079 At Widner Field tonight, Jeremy Sheer is our head official 113 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:08.439 and the Switchbacks geta started, going from left to right 114 00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:11.800 in their home blacks with the blue trim. The Rowdies 115 00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:15.439 are in their road wides and we are off and running. 116 00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.360 This Switchback side know the result from the other game. 117 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:21.199 Meanwhile, Switchbacks have the attack here. 118 00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:25.480 Fieldberg has options and the shot is saved by Jordan 119 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:31.279 farr Zack. Sandy far saves again and then Dylan blazes. 120 00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:31.639 It over the top. 121 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.519 Nice hold up play and it plays in yos Khanya 122 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:38.279 for the Switchbacks. Feldberg wants it on the far side. 123 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:42.120 Hanya picks him out. It's a chance here for Fieldberg. 124 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:47.320 He cuts it back and Far thwarts him again. Yeah, 125 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:52.120 Hanya plays in real Dylan's in the middle and he 126 00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:58.039 nearly scored his first Switchbacks goal, just wide Fieldberg, essentially 127 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.360 too many numbers back for the rowdy. Dylan has it 128 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:08.399 cut out. Rayal picks it back up Fieldberg. Philbrook's ball 129 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:11.519 in a ken looking for Dylan. It's Hanya and it's 130 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:18.960 in off a deflection. I'm not sure if it's gonna 131 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.559 be your own goal, but the Switchbacks don't care. 132 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:27.600 And leaves this space available. See this little run there. 133 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:32.039 Gilbert picks out the runners. Obviously it slight. 134 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.639 Clear, it's the it's oh, there's some pressure here. The 135 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:38.360 rowdies don't quite deal with it and you skate. Hanya 136 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.879 almost loops his way in. The Rowdies recover in time 137 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.879 and it's a lovely ball played up ahead for cal Jennings. 138 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:49.759 Jennings is in and Jennings hits the side netting. Irowin, Riquez, 139 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:53.799 Steven at Schevria are also away playing in CONCACAFF Nations 140 00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:55.600 League play for their respective countries. 141 00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:59.240 Does the Switchbacks have a chance here? They have the numbers. 142 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:09.480 Tyreek mc shoot so he scores magnificently. Tyrak McGhee were 143 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.720 a thunderbolt of a strike and the Switchbacks tumble their 144 00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:18.240 laid in front of a jubilant Widner Field crowd. 145 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.039 McGee in the open about the balance that he was 146 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:25.639 gonna try to present to this match, and this vicious 147 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:29.399 strike from outside the eighteen yard box seize. The Rowdies 148 00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:33.000 continue to back up into their penalty area, tease it 149 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:39.240 up on that left foot and blast it past Jordan Farr, 150 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.960 putting his team up to nil again. 151 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.759 The Switchbacks get it upfield with Tyreek McGhee, but it's 152 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.039 really well won back by Blake Bodily. 153 00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:52.679 Chance to send this right back in Herrera doesn't get there. 154 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.480 Old Jennings did get there. One back there by Zandy 155 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.000 out White to the far side. First time ball from 156 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.639 Hanya to McGhee. Switchbacks are gonna. 157 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.960 Pick up where they left off. Great bullet for Dylan. 158 00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:11.480 He scores his first goal for the Switchbacks. 159 00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:20.919 Colorado Springs are running ryot at wider field justin Dylan 160 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:26.279 breaks through and the Switchbacks have a commanding three ni laid. 161 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.559 Here slightest of balls played in and this is not 162 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.879 hit with a lot of pace from and we talked 163 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:36.000 about having to move Aiden Roache to right back. 164 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:36.480 I mean. 165 00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:39.320 This has been. 166 00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:46.279 Fieldberg almost made it even better, and where would the 167 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:49.639 Rowdies be without some of these Jordan far saves. 168 00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.639 That's a great call shown that that was a wild game. 169 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:57.679 That was May eighth, by the way months ago. 170 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:02.720 And it seem like the switchbacks are just firing. 171 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:03.960 There's four. 172 00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:12.159 A headed goal from Yoski Honya. Things get from bad 173 00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:17.320 to worse for the Rowdies. Colorado Springs is on cloud nine. 174 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:20.679 It's four nell and Hanya's on a hat trick. 175 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:27.720 They're getting such terrific link up play and again highlighting 176 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:29.879 the ability to win the ball higher up the field. 177 00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:32.720 They're counterfreens, they get dispossessed, but they're quickly back on 178 00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:34.840 the ball and this clever ball. 179 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.919 Five goals now this season for Yoski, Kanye is now 180 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.039 the switchback second leading goalscorer. 181 00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:44.240 It's brought to you by Centuries Casino. I'll get to 182 00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:44.759 in a moment. 183 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.720 But the Rowdies are making some changes in the midst 184 00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:49.879 of all of these wider field celebrations. 185 00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:54.159 We talked about balance in both boxes that pay devidends 186 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:57.559 in the playoffs, but balance in your attack as well. 187 00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:00.960 And James Chambers was not only high on the. 188 00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:06.080 Well. This free kick is taken quickly cal Jennings across. 189 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.240 Good save by Herrera. He thwarts ben Bender on his 190 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:10.240 Rowdy's debut. 191 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:17.840 The rowdies are going to make a couple more. 192 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:21.519 William j hibbles sports Medicine and performance Center changes here 193 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:22.639 Leo Fernandez. 194 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.720 Every game is just so different, tells a different story, 195 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:32.559 needs different players to get involved. So why not use 196 00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:36.559 this time to We've seen the influence that Benders had Spauding. 197 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.879 That's the shot away from a tight angle. Herrera had 198 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:41.879 a little bit of trouble with that er. 199 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:43.279 What do you see? 200 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.519 Good ball out to the far side. Spalding continues to 201 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:48.639 be involved when the rowdies can get it to this 202 00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:55.200 end of the pitch. It's played essentially for Rivera Worth 203 00:13:55.559 --> 00:14:03.519 certainly strike them. Manchoma Monjoma's ballt is headed in. The 204 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.039 rowdies get one back with sixteen minutes to play. It's 205 00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:14.279 a substitution goal from Leo Fernandez and it's four to one, and. 206 00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:15.639 Then a couple of steps backwards. 207 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:20.120 You give Munjoma enough time to read it, set his feet, 208 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:22.240 get a good left footed service off. 209 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:22.799 He speedy. 210 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:28.000 Williams will stand over it. Roacha lays it off and 211 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:28.919 it's Tyrek. 212 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.000 McGee who I has. 213 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.480 Scored from that distance in his career before, had a 214 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:34.639 wonderful goal earlier. 215 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:37.000 It's a giveaway to Lewis Hilton. 216 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.159 Fernandez stays on his feet, keeps possession for the routies 217 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:45.080 here and this is Damian Rivera. 218 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:48.120 It opens up and my goodness, he scores. 219 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:55.679 A goal for Damian Tiko Rivera and with eleven and 220 00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:58.559 a half minutes to play for two. 221 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.879 And stunning this crowd at Widner Field. 222 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.879 This kind of a casual build up for the rowdies 223 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:14.000 and Riverax glodes past, switchbacks defenders, gets his head up, 224 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:15.200 gets a new picture. 225 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:18.159 Of proximity comes into play there. But that was in 226 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.000 an unnatural position surely, and it impeded the progress. 227 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.840 Of the play. 228 00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:31.600 Bender Worth is in and he skies the chance. The 229 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:34.679 referee does not think anything of it, and it is 230 00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:40.080 full time at Widner Fields. Games like this one are 231 00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:42.759 why we love the USL Championship. 232 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.159 Big win for Colorado Springs got out to the big lead, 233 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:49.080 held on and Tampa Bay had to shake it off 234 00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:53.279 in quick order. El Paso Detroit City of Goaliz draw 235 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:57.000 at Southwest University Park. San Antonio FC wins big on 236 00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:59.440 the road against Monterey Bay won nothing at Cardinal. It 237 00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:02.360 gets us to the Midwig We mentioned Tampa Bay and 238 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:06.399 they lost in Birmingham two nil at Protective. Big win 239 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:08.919 for the Legion.

Detroit City four points behind now, but they're 253 00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:52.759 not taking advantage of it either, only draws their last 254 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.759 two times out there at thirty nine points, and fourth Legion, 255 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:58.600 breaking a three game losing streak.

Speaking of River Hounds, 260 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.400 they're now in eighth after the win.

They're in ninth below 264 00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:26.839 the playoff bar. North Carolina needed that win badly after 265 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:29.759 not winning in their previous three. They're at thirty three points. 266 00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:32.680 Hardford Athletic unbeaten in their last five, but the last 267 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:35.119 three been draws.
