Tormenta 2 Ties With Charlotte on the Road 3-3
English Forward JJ Donnelly Scores Hat-Trick
After a back and forth match, Tormenta FC 2 tied with Charlotte Eagles 3-3 tonight on the road, just two days after defeating Discoveries SC 1-0. English Forward JJ Donnelly scored all three goals, Tormenta 2’s first hat-trick of the season.
Tormenta 2 scored first in the 38th with a beautiful shot by Donnelly, assisted by Luca Mayr, but Charlotte stole the lead not long after with two shocking goals just before halftime.
Trailing into the second half, Tormenta 2 tied things up in the 46th and eventually took back the lead from the home team in the 61st. Unfortunately, Charlotte scored a third goal in the 90th minute and both teams went home with one point.
Notably, Fortia Munts made his first Tormenta 2 appearance in the 72nd minute after an injury late in his college season at Virginia Commonwealth University.
This tie keeps Tormenta second in the League Two standings with 17 points. Tormenta 2 continues to lead the league in goal differential, though, with a difference of 14. The team now travels once again on Sunday, June 23 to play Dalton Red Wolves
