Penn FC News Release
Harrisburg, PA - City Islanders FC will play their second game at FNB Field this Monday, April 25 at 7 p.m. when they face Orlando City FC B for the second time in less than two weeks.
After losing their first match at their new home to league leading Louisville FC at the final minutes of play, City will host Orlando City in an attempt to net their first points at home this season.
In their first game on City Island this year City fell behind by two goals before making a dramatic comeback to tie the game up at two in the 88th minute. Louisville spoiled what could have been a draw to open up the 2016 home defense in the 90th minute.
The Islanders got their first win in Orlando just 10 days ago. Cardel Benbow led the Isles to a 1-0 victory to net their first points of the season. Benbow's first goal of the season came from a opening pass from midfielder Jose Barril. After receiving the pass he dribbled through the Lion's defense and put a hard shot on goal to secure the game.
Monday's match will be the final USL regular season match-up between the two teams. City will be on the road for their next game against the Rochester Rhinos. They will return home to take on USL newcomer FC Cincinnati on Saturday, May 7 at 7 p.m. at FNB Field.
