Bethlehem Steel FC had a tough matchup when they travelled to face Swope Park Rangers at Children’s Mercy Park on April 6, 2019. The club from Kansas had just pulled a draw from their match with Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC the weekend before and was looking to take all three points, as was Steel FC. The Rangers struck first in the match off an Ethan Vanacore-Decker goal in the 19th minute. Faris answered for the Steel just eight minutes later, bringing the score to 1-1. Unfortunately for Steel FC, Jerome Ngom-Mbekeli changed that with a 44th-minute goal just before halftime, leaving the visitors down 2-1 with 45 minutes left to play.
