Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC News Release


COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO - The Colorado Springs Switchbacks earned three points tonight with a win against Birmingham Legion 2-1.

With the Switchbacks back at home, the team needed to make a statement for how the game would go. In the 11 ‚¬Â², #11 Deshane Beckford sped past all the defenders which gave him a one on one opportunity with the goalie, and scored a beauty of a goal right in the back of the net.

Coming into the second half, Birmingham Legion player #11 Neco Brett tied the game with a bicycle kick that sent the ball right to the back of net. But the good guys kept the spirit alive with three shots on target.

The battle was on to whoever could break the tie and change the game. #27 Juan Tejada was on a mission to break the tie and with the help of #7 Tyreek Magee, Magee crossed the ball over to connect with Juan to score a header.

The Colorado Springs Switchbacks have a quick turnaround for the next match. On Wednesday August 9th, make sure to join us for the USL Summer Showcase match as the Switchbacks take on FC Tulsa for our back-to-school night.
