FC Naples endures first league defeat
“We came out flat. When you are down a goal, it can be hard to come back.”
After what transpired less than 72 hours earlier, a physical and mental letdown was certainly possible when FC Naples faced One Knoxville on Saturday evening at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex. The local team had suffered its first loss of the season — which encompassed 120 minutes of intense, extended overtime play and then penalty kicks — against the higher division Tampa Bay Rowdies in the third round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on April 16. The score was 1-1 at the end of regulation time.
