Louisville City Eyes a Perfect Road Swing, Sixth Straight Win

Louisville, KY (July 28, 2015) – In three straight home matches Louisville City FC (10-3-5, 35 Points) 
had taken all nine points. In front of them were three in a row on the road, an experience that had 
caused the team trouble so far this season. With just one win in six tries, away matches had not been 
friendly to the USL newcomers. Now after wins over Pittsburgh and Wilmington the boys in purple have 
a shot at three straight road victories when they take on Toronto FC II (4-9-3, 15 points) at 3PM 
on Saturday at the Ontario Soccer Centre.

Saturday will be the second meeting of the season between the two clubs. The first came back 
on May 16th was askew as City came away with a 4-0 victory. With goals from Kadeem Dacres, 
Matt Fondy and Conor Shanosky, Louisville took a 3-0 lead into the break. Matt Fondy would add 
his second goal of the night in the final 45 minutes to complete the scoring.

Louisville is looking to build on their five game winning streak and complete the season sweep 
of Toronto FC II. City is coming off of an impressive 3-1 victory on the road against the 
Wilmington Hammerheads FC. After falling behind 1-0, Enrique Montano connected with Matt Fondy 
on a corner in the 45th minute right before going into the half. The late goal seemed 
to be the motivator as right out of the gate in the second half, Charlie Adams found 
Conor Shanosky, who flicked in the go-ahead goal on a set piece in the 52nd minute. Adams, 
himself,  got on the scoresheet in the 57th minute by slamming one in the top right corner 
after receiving a pass from Niall McCabe.

Toronto is coming off of their fourth win of the season to the Charleston Battery. The 1-0 
victory came in stunning fashion with the Reds scoring in the 89th minute. Molham Babouli 
played a set piece into Skylar Thomas for the header. It was Thomas’ first goal of the 
season and gave them their first win against a team with a winning record. The victory 
also kept Charleston stagnant in the standings and allowed Louisville to take over 
second place.

TFCII also played a friendly on Tuesday versus AS Roma Primavera. The USL club led 2-1 
late but allowed a goal in the 85th minute to level the game at 2-2. In penalties, 
Toronto would fall to their Italian counterparts 5-3.
