Match recap: Harrisburg City Islanders 2, Charleston Battery 2

Most people, including yours truly, did not give Harrisburg much of a chance heading into Saturday’s clash with the Charleston Battery. But the City Islanders weren’t intimidated by the number one team team in the East, and they turned in one of their most impressive performances of the season.

Charleston took control to start the match, and they had some solid chances to put away an early goal. Fortunately, Brandon Miller was able to keep the ball out of the net and prevent the City Islanders from going down a goal early. Perhaps his most impressive save came in the 6th minute when he managed to stick out a hand to swat away a bouncing shot from Romario Williams.
