The typical mugginess of a summer evening in the south was made even thicker by the tension of a soon to be played USL League One matchup on August 17 between South Georgia Tormenta FC and FC Tucson. The Statesboro-based team, competing professionally for their first season, had sat near the top of the table since play began in March. Now in a dip of form, pressure from behind meant capturing all three points would be crucial for Tormenta to stay safely in a top four playoff spot. Leading the way at the 10 would be Lucas Coutinho, a Brazilian attacking midfielder fresh off a Goal of the Week award for his performance in the previous game.
