Last Time Out
CLFC is coming off a 1-1 draw against Columbus Crew 2 at Lower.com Field on April 6. Both sides had trouble breaking through until Columbus’ Tristan Brown found himself on the receiving end of a cross at the back post, leaping in the air and sending the ball into the back of the net with a one-time, rainbow arched finish. Crown Legacy FC did not find an equalizer until the 80th minute when Jack Sarkos backheeled the ball into the penalty area for Dylan Sing to control through traffic, finishing calmly with a left-footed shot from close range. In the penalty shootout, Isaac Walker made two crucial saves while Aron John clinched the extra point for CLFC with a shot to the bottom left corner of goal.
