Chattanooga Football Club coach Bill Elliott had a dejected look on his face in the moments after his team’s win over the Knoxville Force on Saturday.

As pleased as he was about the team’s four goals scored, he was equally disappointed about the two goals the club gave up.

Still, the 4-2 win over the Force in front of 3,165 fans let Chattanooga FC maintain its four-point lead over the Atlanta Silverbacks Reserves in the National Premier Soccer League Southeast Conference with one regular-season match remaining. It all but assured that CFC will be the top seed in the divisional playoffs, which will start in two weeks.

CFC (11-2-1, 7-1-1) finishes its regular-season schedule with a home match against Nashville FC on the Fourth of July.
