Forward Madison FC used a dominant second half comeback Saturday to take all three points against South Georgia Tormenta FC on Saturday, winning 3-1 on the road in Statesboro. Derek Gebhard, Connor Tobin and Jake Keegan all scored in a thrilling performance that gave the Flamingos their third straight victory.

The game started off rather shakily for FMFC as South Georgia Tormenta came strong out of the gates. Forward goalkeeper Phil Breno made two strong saves early on, stopping Clayton Adams' shot from the left side of the box in the seventh minute before denying Adams again on a dipping shot in the 24th minute.

Despite Breno's efforts, South Georgia took the lead when Luca Mayr scored from a free kick in the 33rd minute.

In the second half, though, Forward Madison came back with a vengeance. Derek Gebhard tied the game at the 49th minute with a scrappy touch right on the goal line before team captain Conor Tobin put the Flamingos in the lead with a powerful header at the 54th minute.

Striker Jake Keegan sealed the game in the 82nd minute, solidifying the 3-1 victory on a counter attack with a perfectly-placed shot to the bottom right corner.

Saturday's win means Forward Madison now sit second in the USL League One table after four games.

Following Saturday's game, Forward Madison will head to Florida for it's second consecutive away match on Tuesday, June 1 against Fort Lauderdale CF.
