DALTON, GA – A stunning John Azar goal in second half stoppage time was enough to Tennessee Soccer Club USL League Two over the Dalton Red Wolves Sunday night at Dalton Stadium in Dalton, GA.
The game featured quite a bit of midfield play with limited scoring chances from either side and was looking to be headed to a scoreless draw. As the full 90 minutes passed, Azar took the ball down the left flank and cut towards the middle and blasted a shot into the lower right corner of the net past a diving Red Wolves goalkeeper.
The visitors from Tennessee celebrated and minutes later were victorious, collecting a critical three points in the tightly contested USL League Two standings.
“We are very excited to snatch the three points at the end,” said TSC2 Head Coach Andy Robertson. “After waiting and waiting [lightning delay] we were finally able to get playing. Obviously, we were hoping to find that goal before the final minute of the game, but overall, we felt our performance deserved the three points.”
With severe thunderstorms lingering in the area, the game was delayed two and a half hours and finally kicked off at 10 pm local time.
TSC2 will next be in action Saturday, June 10th traveling to South Carolina United in a double-header with the USL W League teams. The W League games will kick off at 5 pm ET with the League Two teams kicking off at 7:30 pm ET.
