OCSC Falls to San Diego at Home

July 30, 2022 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Orange County SC News Release

Orange County SC lost, 3-2, to San Diego Loyal SC on Saturday, July 30 at Championship Soccer Stadium in Irvine. Forward Milan Iloski scored both goals for OCSC continuing his scoring form.

Iloski, the reigning USL Championship Player of the Week, nearly got the party started off the opening kick. Midfielder Seth Casiple played him clear in on goal just after 40 seconds, but Iloski's touch was a bit heavy and nothing came of the chance.

Iloski got his chance. He controlled a bouncing ball while fending off a defender. He placed a shot into the bottom left corner for his 14th goal of the season, and OCSC had a 1-0 lead.

Forward Sean "Ugo" Okoli provided another chance for OCSC in the 34th minute. He flicked over SD defender Kyle Adams's head and into the box, where his left-footed effort was blocked by goalkeeper Keko Vegas.

SD drew level in the 39th minute off a corner kick from midfielder Charlie Adams that was headed home by defender Grant Stoneman. The teams headed into the break tied.

Iloski found the back of the net again to earn his second consecutive brace. He scored his second goal in the 67' on a highlight-reel shot from outside the box and into the upper-90 of the net. Iloski received a pass from Casiple that created enough space for the shot.

The lead lasted just minutes as Thomas Amang drew San Diego level. Evan Conway sealed the deal off a defensive miscue to put the visitors in front, 3-2.

OCSC had chances right in front of goal in stoppage time, but none of them resulted in the ball crossing the goal line. The loss drops OCSC to last place in the Western Conference.
