Match Recap

Louisville City did its job on the road, grinding past Charleston Battery 2-0 with goals either side of the hour mark. J. Wilson broke the deadlock in the 51st minute, and Mathias Akale sealed it with a late strike in the 88th, snuffing out any Battery comeback hopes before they could start. The result is a big one for the table: Charleston sit third with 46 points and had won three of their last five, but this loss halts that momentum against a Louisville side that came in mid-table at seventh with just one win in five. Neither team's scorers rank among the USL Championship's top ten this season, with P. Goodrum still the league's leading marksman on eight goals, but Wilson and Akale made sure their names were the ones that mattered at Patriots Point. For a home side used to winning, this is a result that stings. Watch how Akale's 88th-minute finish put the game to bed and left Charleston with nothing to show for a game they controlled for long stretches.
