Tormenta FC has held majority of the possession in its past two competitions and outshot both of its opponents, just falling short of finding the back of the net. Meanwhile, Tormenta FC’s standout goalkeeper, Pablo Jara, will look for his first clean sheet of the 2021 USL League One season. Jara has held down the starting goalkeeper position since signing with TFC prior to its inaugural League One season in 2019.
FC Tucson presents a strong opponent for Tormenta FC. In the previous meeting, FC Tucson edged out Tormenta FC with a 1-0 victory at Erk Russell Park in October of 2020. A goal scored by Giovanni Ramos-Godoy in the 33rd minute of play provided enough to secure the win for FC Tucson.
One key difference from last year's matchup will be Tormenta FC’s forward, Azaad Liadi. Liadi will be suiting up to play against his former coaches and teammates at FC Tucson. Last season, Liadi was FC Tucson's third highest point scorer with three goals in 15 appearances. Tormenta FC fans will be in for a show as Azaad Liadi looks to make a statement against his former club.
