STATESBORO, Ga. - South Georgia Tormenta FC fought hard tonight versus FC Naples on the road in a matchup of two teams needing points on the USL League One table. Forward Niall Reid-Stephen scored his sixth goal of the season tonight, but Tormenta FC ultimately fell to the home side with a final score of 2-1.
FC Naples opened the scoring in the 36th minute with a strike from the center of the box, landing the ball in the bottom left corner. Less than five minutes later, Tormenta FC's forward Niall Reid-Stephen slipped past an FC Naples defender before burying the ball in the back of the net, thanks to a long, over-the-top assist from midfielder Handwalla Bwana.
In first-half stoppage time, the home side capitalized again and pulled ahead just before the halftime whistle, bringing the score to 2-1. After a calm start to the second half, Tormenta FC continued to battle for a result in Florida but could not find the back of the net. The match finished in Naples' favor with a final score of 2-1.
After another road trip to New York this Sunday up to Westchester FC, the squad will return home at the end of the month for a rematch against Forward Madison FC on Saturday, August 30, at 7:30 p.m. ET. Make sure to mark your calendars and get tickets now.
