Penn FC spent almost two whole months away from City Island before they finally made their return on Saturday night. The time away from home had been rough, but the team could still control their own destiny if they could perform over their nine match end-of-the-season Homestretch. However, they weren’t able to help themselves get ahead on Saturday night as they ultimately fell to ATL UTD 2 by a 2-1 scoreline.
Penn FC’s lineup was tested with three players away for international duty, so they went with a pretty fresh look for Saturday’s match. Saalih Muhammed took over Lucky Mkosana’s role at striker and Calvin Rezende made his first start in the midfield in some time.
