Forward Madison FC vs. New England Revolution II
(Forward Madison FC)
Forward Madison broke its six-game winless streak on Wednesday, earning a 1-0 victory over New England Revolution II at Breese Stevens Field. Forward Jake Keegan secured the three points with a goal on a breakaway in the 20th minute, his team-leading fifth strike of the season.
The win earned the Flamingos a measure of revenge over the Revolution, who had previously beaten FMFC at home on June 19.
Despite a slow start for the hosts, it was Forward Madison which opened the scoring in the 20th minute. A probing ball from Christian Diaz made its way to Jake Keegan, and the Flamingos' striker quickly found himself one on one with New England's goalkeeper before smashing his fifth goal of the season into the back of the net.
New England II came close from distance in the 36th minute on a shot from Damian Rivera, though their best chance of the first half was snuffed out by Phil Breno during a late rush towards Forward Madison's goal in the final moments before halftime.
Thanks to the win, Forward Madison climbs one spot to 6th place on 16 points, one above South Georgia Tormenta with two games in hand.
The Flamingos will next head out on a two-game road trip, starting with a stop against North Texas SC on July 10 before facing Union Omaha on July 16. The next home game for the Flamingos is a friendly against Atletico Morelia of Mexico on July 20.
