Chattanooga Red Wolves SC News Release


MADISON, Wis. - The Red Wolves made a late push for an equalizer but came up just short in its road matchup against Forward Madison FC.

Forward Madison generated the first shot on target of the evening with Jason Smith able to dive to his left making it a comfortable save. Just two minutes later Smith had to deal with a difficult shot as it dipped down just in front of him. The goalkeeper and league leader in clean sheets was able to make the save.

Madison would break the deadlock in the 40th minute. A long-range effort on target troubled Smith as the keeper had the sun in his eyes, making it difficult to see the shot.

Omar Hernandez recorded a shot on frame for the Red Wolves to tilt momentum into the team's favor. Hernandez cut in on his left foot from about twenty-five yards out and struck the ball, dipping it in front of the opposing team's keeper.

Matthew Acosta hit a shot on target from a similar spot on the field not long after Hernandez's effort.

In the 76th minute Madison would double its lead but Chattanooga would not go away as the team has done all season long.

The Red Wolves substitute Joshua Ramos netted one to bring the team within one. Ramos's goal came after a free kick was won on the goal line. The ball was whipped into the danger area and flicked home by Ramos in the 90th minute.

Seven minutes of stoppage time was added but it would not be enough time to tally a late equalizer.
