Match Recap: Ngalina & Mbaizo lead attack as Steel fall 3-2 at home against Birmingham Legion FC

CHESTER, Pa. (August 25, 2019) – Bethlehem Steel FC scored two goals while down a man against Birmingham Legion FC who hadn’t given up a goal since June 29th. It was a very physical Sunday night at Talen Energy Stadium that resulted in 10 total cards and four players sent off early.

The match favored the Steel early on, with the speed of Philadelphia Union forwards Michee Ngalina and Sergio Santos causing issues for the Legion’s backline in the first 15 minutes. After a few chances that went unfinished from the Steel, Birmingham struck through Prosper Kasim in the 20th minute.
