THREE THINGS THAT MATTERED 

1. Louisville City FC’s 3-1 victory over Toronto FC II on Friday night at Lamport Stadium kept 
the side in control of its destiny for a second-place finish in the Eastern Conference. 
With the win, Louisville jumped three points clear of Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC ahead of the 
Pennsylvania side’s top-three clash with FC Cincinnati on Saturday at Highland Stadium. 
Louisville will be hoping to see the Hounds drop points against the 2018 USL Regular Season 
champion but can secure the second spot – and with it the potential to host two home games 
in the Eastern Conference playoffs – with victories against North Carolina FC and Indy Eleven 
next week.

2. Louisville City FC midfielder George Davis IV came off the bench in the 68th minute to make 
his 200th career USL appearance, becoming the first player to reach that milestone in the league's 
modern era. Davis IV has scored 54 goals over his eight USL seasons, one of only five players 
to reach the 50-goal landmark in the league's modern era and has been named to the USL All-League 
Team on three occasions. Davis IV’s teammate Cameron Lancaster also came off the bench to make 
some history of his own as he tied the USL’s single-season scoring record with his 22nd goal 
of the campaign. Lancaster played a one-two with Ilija Ilic before firing a left-footed shot 
past TFC II goalkeeper Caleb Patterson-Sewell for Louisville’s third goal of the night 
in the 81st minute. With the tally, Lancaster matched the mark originally set by former Louisville 
forward Matt Fondy in 2015 as he extended his lead in the race for the USL's Golden Boot.


TORONTO FC II (1), LOUISVILLE CITY FC (3)
TORONTO – Louisville City FC picked up its fourth win in a row and stayed on pace for 
a second-place finish in the Eastern Conference with a 3-1 victory over Toronto FC II 
on Friday night at Lamport Stadium. Louisville opened the scoring in the 11th minute with 
a bit of direct attacking play as a long ball from the back wasn’t dealt with properly 
by the TFC II defense and Ilija Ilic was on hand to pounce on a poor clearance attempt 
before firing a shot that took a deflection on its way past goalkeeper Caleb Patterson-Sewell. 
The visitors threatened again five minutes later as Ilic played the ball to midfielder 
Devon Williams, who blazed a right-footed drive just over the crossbar from 30 yards out. 
Louisville thought it should’ve had a penalty in the 25th minute when Brian Ownby’s cross 
looked to have struck the arm of Toronto defender Kyle Bjornethun, but referee 
Pierre-Luc Lauziere waved play on. The visitors tested Patterson-Sewell again in the 39th minute 
as the goalkeeper tipped Paco Craig’s header over the crossbar, but Louisville doubled 
the lead on the resulting corner kick as Alex Souahy headed home Oscar Jimenez’s delivery 
for his third goal of the season. Ayo Akinola tried to cut the deficit in half for the 
hosts 16 minutes after halftime as he cut inside a Louisville defender but his shot went 
straight at goalkeeper Tim Dobrowolski. Souahy nearly had his second a minute later as his 
header from another Jimenez set piece forced Patterson-Sewell into a left-handed save 
at full stretch. Akinola put the ball in the back of the net for Toronto in the 74th minute, 
but the goal didn’t stand as the linesman judged the forward to be in an offside position 
as he gathered Tsubasa Endoh’s through pass. Substitute Cameron Lancaster scored Louisville’s 
third of the night seven minutes later as he slotted a left-footed shot from the left side 
of the box into the bottom-right corner for his 22nd goal of the season to match the USL 
single-season record. Toronto got on the board three minutes from time as Jordan Perruzza’s 
left-footed shot ended Dobrowolski’s shutout but it was mere consolation as the visitors 
claimed all three points.

USLSoccer.com Man of the Match:
Ilija Ilic, Louisville City FC – Ilic was instrumental in Louisville’s attack all night 
as he completed 75.7 percent of his passes, scored the game’s opening goal and set up 
Cameron Lancaster for the team’s third late on.
