September 29, 2018 USL Toronto FC II--Charleston Battery vs Toronto FC II game review (from uslsoccer.com)
CHARLESTON BATTERY (1), TORONTO FC II (2) CHARLESTON, S.C. – Toronto FC II rallied to take a 2-1 victory and snap the Charleston Battery’s 15-game undefeated streak at MUSC Health Stadium. Battery forward Victory Mansaray forced a good early save from Toronto goalkeeper Caleb Patterson-Sewell in the third minute, and the hosts almost took advantage of a defensive lapse in the fifth minute but lifted his finish high from just outside the six-yard area. Toronto had a goal ruled out for offside three minutes before halftime when Ayo Akinola’s was caught by the Battery’s back line before he found the net, while Charleston hit the woodwork on a flicked header by Okonkwo a minute later that had Patterson-Sewell beaten but came back off the crossbar and was cleared. Okonkwo had more luck seven minutes into the second half, however, when a pass by Guerra set up a precise low shot to the left corner from the top of the penalty area. Toronto hit back quickly, however, as Matthew Srbely’s good low cross from the right was tapped home by Akinola at the back post, and the visitors then took the lead in the 65th minute when Jordan Hamilton headed home a cross from the left by Terique Mohamed. That proved to be the difference as the visitors saw out the remaining minutes with Patterson-Sewell and his defense holding firm against the Battery’s late pressure. USLSoccer.com Man of the Match Ayo Akinola, Toronto FC II – Akinola connected well with his teammates throughout the night and scored the goal that sparked Toronto’s comeback for a memorable road victory. 3-4-1-2 4-2-3-1 Charleston Battery Toronto FC II 1 2 September 29, 2018 7:00 PM Referee Danielle Chesky Venue MUSC Health Stadium Attendance 3,612 Charleston Battery 1 Joe Kuzminsky GK 8 Hackshaw DF 3 Thomas DF 6 Archer DF 7 Woodbine MF 37' Yellow card, 74' subbed out 20 Mansaray MF 12 Candela MF 85' subbed out 22 Tah Anunga MF 10 Guerra FW (C) 9 Svantesson FW 74' subbed out 17 Okonkwo FW 52' GOAL Substitutes 23 Odisnel Cooper 2 Bolt 4 Mueller 25 Higashi 85' subbed in 13 Rittmeyer 74' subbed in 14 van Schaik 15 Wild 74' subbed in Manager Anhaeuser Toronto FC II 28 Patterson-Sewell GK (C) 36 Kübel DF 63' subbed out 57 Mohammed DF 81' Yellow card 38 Bjornethun DF 49 Boskovic DF 59' Yellow card 27 Fraser MF 56 Johnson MF 77' subbed out 48 Campbell MF 50 Srbely MF 46 Endoh MF 20 Akinola FW 55' GOAL, 63' subbed out Substitutes 30 Angoitia 59 Okello Ayo 63' subbed in 55 Daniels 77' subbed in 39 Petrasso 51 M Hamilton 22 J Hamilton 63' subbed in, 65' GOAL 64 Hundal Manager Rabasca Team Statistics CHB TFC 56.8% Possession 43.2% 53.6% Duels success rate 46.4% 47.8% Aerial duels won 52.2% 9 Interceptions 20 2 Offsides 1 3 Corners 3 481 Passes 370 71 Long passes 64 84.0% Passing accuracy 81.1% 68.7% Passing acc in opp half 74.9% 21 Crosses 12 38.1% Crossing accuracy 8.3% 1 Goals 2 20 Shots 12 5 Shots on target 7 3 Blocked shots 1 6 Shots outside the box 5 14 Shots inside the box 7 25.0% Shooting accuracy 58.3% 16 Tackles 16 62.5% Tackles success rate 50.0% 7 Clearances 27 12 Fouls conceded 14 1 Yellow cards 2 0 Red cards 0
