The first match between Saint Louis FC and Bethlehem Steel FC was a pretty tight encounter, with Bethlehem grabbing three points late. Of course things started bleakly for Bethlehem, with Ken Tribbett slicing a clearance right into Jake McGuire’s net in the third minute. Saint Louis had a decent look off a free kick on the far side of the field and after some chaos, Tribbett couldn’t clear properly to give the home side the lead. Bethlehem would get out on the front foot and create plenty of chances in the first half, but the strong wind coupled with some less than stellar accuracy saw the home side go into the break up 1-0.
