Monterey Bay FC News Release


SEASIDE, California - Monterey Bay FC (4-4-4, 16 points) was defeated 2-0 by Eastern Conference side Louisville City FC (6-0-4, 22 points) on Hometown Heroes Night at Cardinale Stadium, presented by California Highway Patrol.

Monterey Bay opened the match with a half chance in the 7th minute. Mayele Malango led a counter attack down the right sideline before playing the ball into the box towards Adrian Rebollar, but his right footed shot from just inside the box missed high and wide. Louisville City FC earned its first look on frame five minutes later, but the header by Arturo Ordóñez was saved by the outstretched hand of Nico Campuzano with an incredible diving effort. In the 21st minute, a corner kick allowed Sean Totsch to sneak one past Campuzano with a flicked-on header at the near post and the visitors bagged the opening goal. Louisville City came close to doubling its lead in the 33rd minute with a lofted ball into the box towards Adrien Perez, but his shot was saved by Campuzano and the visitors took the one-goal lead into the halftime break.

Louisville City added a second goal four minutes into the second half with a goal by Manny Perez. Then in the 55th minute, the visitors came close to scoring a third, but Carlos Guzmán managed to clear it off the line with a header. Looking to claw its way back into the match, Monterey Bay looked to have its first of the night with a powerful shot by Malango from the left side that looked destined to curl inside the far post, but the goalkeeper somehow saved the shot with an outstretched left arm. Louisville City pushed forward again in the 62nd minute, but the effort by Adrian Perez missed wide of the left post. Moments after entering the match as a second half substitute in the 66th minute, Adam Larsson pinged a great ball to Malango at the top of the box, but the ensuing shot was blocked out for a corner, to no avail and the match ended 2-0 in favor of Louisville City FC.
