Match Summary
Loudoun United Football Club end the preseason stretch with a 4-2 victory over League One side Richmond Kickers at Segra Field. Loudoun United dominated possession in the first half of play and recorded three chances on goal from Kwame Awuah, Abdellatif Aboukoura, and Jacob Erlandson, however, were unable to find the back of the net in a back-and-forth first half. The first half ended in a draw at 0-0.
Loudoun United opened the scoring just a minute into the second half after Abdellatif Aboukoura dribbled through the Richmond backline and found Riley Bidois just inside the 18-yard box who broke the tie and gave LUFC a one-goal lead. Richmond responded in the 64th minute with a cross into the box, which was headed in by Justin Sukow to tie the game at 1-1. The Red-and-White answered quickly, however, this time with two goals in four minutes from Bidois, his second of the match, and the next from Aaron Hurge in the 69th minute of play. Loudoun United kept the pressure on and maintained possession, allowing a trialist to get onto the score sheet and giving the Red-and-White a three-goal lead with just over 10 minutes left to play. Richmond found a late consolation, scoring their second of the day, this time by Emiliano Terzaghi. The match finished 4-2 in favor of Loudoun United.
Loudoun United Football Club starts the USL Championship regular season next Saturday on the road against Birmingham Legion FC at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, AL.
