Hartford Athletic ended the night on Saturday with a 1-1 draw against rivals North Carolina FC, a club ranked 6th in the USL Championship.
Hartford dominated the match from quite literally the very first minute. Right from the kickoff Jose Angulo was able to make a low and precise cross into the box where Harry Swartz was there to finish it and put Hartford on the board in the first 15 seconds of play. With this great start to the match, Hartford controlled the entire first half with great chances from Angulo, Wojciech Wojcik & Mads Jørgensen. The score would remain 1-0 going into halftime.
North Carolina was able to answer with a goal in the 58th minute after getting a touch off of a short clear from Hartford. Hartford didn't let that stop them with great defensive stops and chances on goal throughout the second half. A few tough plays and the fast paced game kept Hartford from scoring another despite dominating the field over their 6th ranked opponents. A hard fight from Hartford ended with a 1-1 draw.
Hartford Athletic is back home at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field this Saturday, June 8 for a match against Saint Louis FC at 7 PM. To show our appreciation for our fans we will be offering $2 draft beers and $2 hot dogs through the 19th minute.
