TFC 2 went into the second half looking to double their score. Newly-signed Mutaya Mwape showed his skill and experience in part two with several close thrillers.
Notably, Tormenta FC Academy star Tristan DeLoach made a fighting effort and shot on goal in the 87th minute in hopes of turning the scoreline in TFC 2’s favor, but it was handled by the Tennessee keeper.
Tormenta FC 2 kept the ball in the visitor’s territory for much of the game and recorded 15 shots throughout the match, but ultimately drew even with Tennessee 1-1.
