Forward Madison will head home with work today, falling to a 1-0 defeat against the Richmond Kickers Saturday in Virginia.

The result means that Richmond will take home the Henny Derby, a rivalry created by Black supporters of each club who exchange a golden bottle of Hennessy depending on the victor.

The Kickers got on the board early thanks to new striker Emiliano Terzaghi, who opened the scoring in the ninth minute of the game. Terzaghi had his back to goal, but swirled around to shoot past goalkeeper Philipp Marceta into the far post.

Forward Madison winger Jamael Cox got on the end of a good chance in the 33rd minute, but his shot was pushed away by Richmond goalkeeper Akira Fitzgerald.

Both Cox and Allan Rodriguez made their first-ever starts for Forward Madison during Saturday's game. Rodriguez, who is on loan from the Chicago Fire, was making his first professional appearance.

Following Saturday's defeat, Forward Madison now sits ninth in USL League One. The Flamingos will return home to Hart Park for a matchup with South Georgia Tormenta FC on Friday, August 14 at 7 p.m. CT.
