The Chattanooga Football Club needed a win Saturday.

After all, 309 days is quite a while to wait between victories for a proud organization.

The club got off its skid, scoring a pair of second-half goals to defeat the Chivas U-23 squad 2-0 in front of 4,109 fans at Finley Stadium. It was Chattanooga FC’s first win since a shootout victory over Miami United FC last July 23 in the NPSL South regional championship match.

Since then, the club has three losses – two to professional clubs – and two ties, as well as a match against Birmingham that was rained out with CFC leading 1-0. That match has been rescheduled for June 20.

The long stretch is now over for CFC, which returns to divisional play June 3 against the Georgia Revolution.
