South Georgia Tormenta FC returns to USL Jägermeister Cup action this Saturday, June 28, at 7:30 p.m. The Ibis will host Charleston Battery at Tormenta Stadium for a critical match in the group stage.
The previous encounter between both teams was in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup earlier this season. That match ended in a 4-0 loss that knocked the Ibis out of the tournament in the third round. Tormenta now looks to right the wrongs of the last meeting and beat the Battery on home grounds.
Tormenta goes into this cup match riding the momentum of a victory, following a 2-1 result over FC Naples in league play. The Ibis’ last results in the Jägermeister Cup include a 2-1 win over Greenville Triumph and a 2-1 loss to Tampa Bay Rowdies. To gain an advantage in the group standings, South Georgia will have to ensure both the defense and attack are fully prepared to take on the Battery on Saturday.
Charleston Battery is coming off a 4-1 win over Phoenix Rising FC in the USL Championship. However, their results so far in the Jägermeister Cup have not been favorable to their advancement to the knockout rounds. The Battery has suffered 1-0 losses to both FC Naples and Greenville Triumph. Tormenta has the opportunity to take advantage of Charleston’s run of form in the group phase and claim victory at home.
Forwards Niall Reid-Stephen and Jonathan Nyandjo came up big in the last match against FC Naples. Nyandjo’s determination to get a goal led to many scoring chances for South Georgia, one of which was tipped into the back of the net by the boot of a Naples defender. Link-up play between English midfielder Mason Tunbridge and Reid-Stephen gave way to Tormenta’s second goal, showing the skill both players bring to South Georgia. The Ibis will have to call upon the talents of the Tormenta squad to gain an advantage in the group table in the coming fixture.
Tormenta FC takes on Charleston Battery for the second time this season on Saturday, June 28, at 7:30 p.m. The first 500 fans through the gate receive a free Tormenta FC water bottle. Make sure you’re among them and buy your tickets now!
