Chattanooga Football Club loses on PKs in U.S. Open Cup
GREENSBORO, N.C. - The Chattanooga Football Club's stay in the 100th U.S. Open Cup was a short one, though there was nothing short about its first-round game Tuesday night at Macpherson Stadium. CFC lost to the Carolina Dynamo on penalty kicks, 4-1, after the teams were tied 4-4 following two 15-minute overtime periods. Neither team scored in the first period, but in the second, in the 115th minute of play, Fynn Glover scored off a corner kick to put CFC in front. The Dynamo's Hakan Ilhan answered moments later with his third goal of the game to make it 4-all. Down 1-0 at halftime, CFC scored three straight to lead 3-1 with 15 minutes to play in regulation. But the Dynamo were able to rally and force overtime. Chattanooga FC will be back on the road this weekend, resuming National Premier Soccer League play against new Southeast division member Gulfcoast Texans.
