VSI Tampa Bay FC News Release


Tampa, Fla - An early goal set Harrisburg up for their 2-0 victory over VSI Tampa Bay FC in Plant City Stadium Friday night.

After rain showers cleared VSI and Harrisburg began play 20 minutes later than originally intended kicking off under wet field conditions. Islander forward Lucky MKosaro showed his aggression early as he and VSI defender Bitielo Jean-Jacques flew into one another on a hard fifty fifty ball. Moments later MKosaro, flung a header into VSI keeper Alex Horwath, transforming the lofted free kick into the opening goal of the match.

Only a moment later it seemed as if MKosaro might find the second goal when VSI captain Kyle Hoffer flew in to clear the ball out. Shawn Chin tapped a ball across to fellow midfielder Tony Donatelli who directed a shot into the top right corner that was intercepted by a Harrisburg defender. VSI entered the second half down 1-0 and attacked throughout the second half outshooting Harrisburg 14 to 2 with no result.

Lack of focus found two Harrisburg attackers open on the back post in the 87' of play allowing Jimmy McLaughlin to send one into the top right corner of VSI's net. McLaughlin's late goal sent Harrisburg away with a 2-0 win over VSI Tampa Bay.

Harrisburg move on to Orlando Saturday, July 20 to battle Orlando City in the Citrus Bowl. While VSI Tampa Bay FC PRO (8-7-3) turn their attention to the difficult road trip ahead where VSI travel to Legion Stadium on Friday, July 26 to face the Wilmington Hammerheads (6-9-3) for a 7:30 p.m. ET start time.
