Rain-Soaked Independence Rally Late, Topped by Louisville City FC

Louisville (KY) — The Charlotte Independence rallied late as forward Jorge Herrera scored a cracker of a goal in the 90th minute, but were topped 4-1 on Saturday night at Louisville City FC. Midfielder Ilija Ilic notched the game-winning goal in the 72nd minute off a Brian Ownby earned penalty.

Louisville would finish out the half up by a Niall McCabe goal, and dominated the scoresheet in the second 45 minutes. Midfielder Ilija Ilic converted a penalty giving Louisville a 2-0 lead just after halftime. USL Golden Boot contender Cameron Lancaster added his 10th goal of the season for the home side in the 81st minute. Louisville would round out the night with a George Davis IV goal to make it 4-0.

However, the Independence showed life in the 90th minute as team-leading goal scorer Jorge Herrera notched his 10th goal of the season in dramatic fashion. Independence midfielder Kay Voser recorded his third assist in 2018.

The Independence will next play on Saturday, July 28th for Military Appreciation night presented by Famous Toastery. Penn FC will visit the Sportsplex at Matthews and the Independence will wear special jerseys which are currently being auctioned off to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.
