FC Tucson’s second road trip of the year will take the team to Tennessee to take on first-place Chattanooga Red Wolves in an early season clash.
Chattanooga sits top of the table after starting its season with two wins and a draw. FC Tucson opened with a loss on the road to Richmond, followed by a thrilling 1-1 tie with Forward Madison in its USL League One opener.
Saturday’s match at CHI Memorial Stadium will start at 4:30 p.m. in Arizona. The match will be streamed on ESPN+ and HULU, and American Eat Co. & Market Bar will be hosting a Watch Party for FC Tucson fans beginning at 4 p.m. Five dollar margaritas and twelve dollar Tecate Buckets.
Chattanooga is tied for first in the league with five goals scored. Each has been netted by a different goal scorer. Returners Angel Espana, Jimmie Villalobos and Rey Ortiz and newcomers Aaron Lombardi and Moe Espinoza all kicked off their 2022 campaign with goals in the first three matches of the season.
FC Tucson’s backline looks to continue its good run of form. Defender Jacob Crull grabbed the equalizer and his first professional goal against Forward Madison. Crull was named to USL Team of the Week for Week Three along with fellow defender Tarn Weir.
The club returns home on Saturday, April 30, to take on South Georgia Tormenta. The match will kick off at 7 p.m. at Kino North Stadium.
