PORTLAND, Ore. – Playing their fourth road match in their last five games, T2 were unable to overcome a one-goal deficit in the second half, falling 1-0 to Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC in front of a sold-out crowd of 4,012 fans at Switchbacks Stadium on Friday night.
T2 (3-5-1, 10pts) threatened in the 23rd minute when forward Ben Polk sent a teasing ball from the left side toward the oncoming run of forward Kharlton Belmar, but it was corralled by the goalkeeper at the near post. In the 45th minute, forward Neco Brett delivered a dangerous free kick from outside the box toward the near post for defender Michael Gallagher, but the goalkeeper reacted quickly off his line to punch the ball out of danger.
