STATESBORO, Ga. – South Georgia Tormenta FC controlled the majority of the possession in tonight’s match but suffered a 2-0 defeat tonight versus the Richmond Kickers, unable to convert their chances and possession into goals.
Tormenta FC recorded seven shots and two chances on target in first half play, with both midfielder Adrian Billhardt and defender Sergi Nus coming close to breaking the deadlock.
The momentum continued in the second half, as Azaad Liadi kicked off the second half with a close shot just right of the goal in the 46th minute, while Joshua Phelps nearly took advantage of Marco Micaletto’s corner kick in the 48th, deflecting the ball just inches above the goal.
In the 56th minute, Pablo Jara stopped a big chance from Richmond’s Emilio Terzahgi, running off his mark to grab the ball just in time. Nil Vinyals then came close to scoring on his former team, but Jara again stepped in to save the chance.
Richmond’s Terzaghi got on the scoreboard late in the match, though, to secure the home side’s lead before doubling their score from the penalty spot to win the match.
Tormenta FC will travel again to face North Texas SC on Sunday, May 16, before returning home to Erk Russell Park to battle regional rival Greenville Triumph SC on May 22.
Tormenta FC asks all fans to wear masks until the vaccine becomes more widely available. Due to limited capacity, the club urges all fans to purchase their tickets, including season tickets, half-season plans or quarter-season plans, in advance.
