Despite the low scoreline that we’ve come to expect in the series, Wednesday’s Greenville-Tormenta match was not short on dramatics. Living up to the billing of a close battle between well matched teams, the first vs. second place game brought high stakes early on in the shortened season.
South Georgia took the momentum of the match early on and created chances for playmakers Luca Mayr and Marco Micaletto, but all shots came from outside of the opposing 18 yard box and weren’t too troubling for Triumph keeper Dallas Jaye. The match remained locked in a stalemate for the remainder of the first half, with neither side able to get dangerous opportunities behind some of the league’s best defenses.
