Match Forecast: Tormenta FC at Greenville Triumph
October 28, 2022 – United Soccer League One (USL1) – South Georgia Tormenta FC News Release
STATESBORO, Ga. – Following a 2-1 home win in the USL League One Quarterfinals against the Charlotte Independence, South Georgia Tormenta FC continues its road to silverware as it visits Greenville Triumph SC in the semifinals from Early Legacy Stadium (7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+). With a healthy squad and one of the best records in League One, Ian Cameron and his squad head to Greenville looking to eliminate the Triumph from title contention and looking for the team’s fifth consecutive win at Early Legacy College and a spot in the 2022 USL League One Final, presented by Hisense.
South Georgia earned its first-ever win in the USL League One Playoffs after a 2-1 win against the Independence. Kazaiah Sterling’s brace sealed a second-half comeback for the home side, which obtained its second home win from Optim Sports Medicine Field at Tormenta Stadium.
South Georgia visits Greenville, South Carolina, for the third time this season. The first time around, South Georgia was able to get a 2-0 win; in the second visit to Early Legacy, the Statesboro side scored three on the home team. Despite the positive results for Tormenta FC in Greenville, the Triumph finished the regular season as one of the best teams in League One at home. In the last four games between Greenville and South Georgia at Early Legacy College, the Statesboro side has won four matches, with the last one coming on July 30.
PLAYOFF SCENARIO:
WIN: If No. 3 South Georgia wins this Saturday, a spot in the USL League One Final is guaranteed. Two scenarios can happen, varying who wins in the other semifinal match. If the Chattanooga Red Wolves win on the road at Richmond, the Chattanooga side visits Statesboro. However, if Richmond wins, the League Final will be hosted in Richmond, Virginia, on Sunday, November 6, at 7:30 p.m. ET.
DRAW: In case of a draw after the 90 minutes culminate, the match goes into extra time. Extra time consists of two 15-minute periods. Then, if the match is still tied, penalty kicks will determine the winner. There is no golden goal in the League One Playoffs.
