Forward Madison FC fell to a heavy road defeat on the road Saturday, dropping a 4-1 result to North Texas SC. Flamingos' top scorer Jake Keegan picked up a late goal, but it was only consolation in what was FMFC's most lopsided result of the season thus far.

With the loss, Forward Madison falls out of the top six in the standings, putting them out of the playoff places. The Flamingos currently sit at 8th in the league with 16 points.

North Texas came out firing, scoring in the 2nd minute on a point-blank chance from forward Gibran Rayo to go up 1-0 early.

They continued their hot start with another goal in the 16th minute, this time scored by defender Edwin Munjoma.

North Texas would grow its lead midway through the second half as midfielder Kazu scored in the 64th minute to put the hosts up 3-0.

Kazu struck again later in the second half, capitalizing on an opportunity to score his second goal of the game, and putting North Texas up 4-0 in the 74th minute.

Forward Jake Keegan pulled one back for the Flamingos in the 82nd minute, scoring on a counter-attack in a consolation effort.

Following Saturday's loss, Forward Madison will be back on the road on July 16 as the team visits Union Omaha.
