For the first time this season, Louisville City FC is both hitting the road and looking to rebound from a defeat.

The boys in purple will see Atlanta United 2 for a second time during the young campaign as they visit Fifth Third Bank Stadium, on Kennesaw State University’s campus, with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. Sunday.

At 2-1-1 overall, LouCity enters off a 2-1 loss last Saturday against rival Indy Eleven having conceded a pair of second half penalty kicks. While the club will continue to be without rising star left back Jonathan Gomez, coach Danny Cruz will return the services of winger Brian Ownby as his suspension ends.

Atlanta also comes into Sunday off a loss, falling last Sunday to Birmingham Legion FC by a 1-0 score. Before that, however, the side went on a run of four games unbeaten following a season-opening loss to LouCity back on April 24. Atlanta United 2 will have new leadership following the scheduled departure of interim head coach Tony Annan to the University of South Carolina’s program.

Sunday’s matchup is the second of four between LouCity and Atlanta, both hailing from the USL Championship’s Central Division. Atlanta returns to Lynn Family Stadium on July 17 with the series finale away on Sept. 29. Division rivals are battling for top-four finishes to make the playoffs a the end of a 32-game season

Notes to know

Corben on cleanup: Midfielder Corben Bone opened his goal scoring account against the Indy Eleven, banging a shot off the post just before halftime to, at the moment, give his side the lead. Bone played off a Niall McCabe cross that bounced off striker Cameron Lancaster in the box, finishing the chance a season after he was LouCity’s second-leading scorer, numbering six goals in 18 appearances.

Pesky penalties: LouCity saw its lead against Indy dissipate when whistled for a pair of penalties. The boys in purple also saw a goal scored from the spot the only other time they dropped points this season in a May 8 draw with Birmingham Legion FC. Overall, the club has allowed just one of its four goals in the run of play through four games.

Greig goes 2-for-2: Since signing days before LouCity defeated the San Diego Loyal back on May 22, forward Kyle Greig, coming off three seasons with now-defunct Saint Louis FC, has become a key piece for LouCity. Greig scored minutes into his LouCity debut, then came on for fellow striker Cameron Lancaster in the 64th minute of the Indy game.

Ownby’s Return: Having served a two-game suspension stemming from the Birmingham game, Ownby will be available for selection Sunday for the first time since May 8. Known for his pace up the right side and knack for creating chances, his addition back to the team will add both depth and a legit threat. Last season, Ownby ranked second on the team in shots tried with 25.

Wynder goes pro: Josh Wynder this week became just the second Louisville City FC Academy player to complete the club’s pathway to pro following his older brother, Elijah, who signed a professional contract back in December. A 16-year-old defender, Wynder has regularly competed with age groups his senior, recently received an invitation to a U.S. Youth National Team Regional Identification Center and has appeared on LouCity’s USL Championship lineup sheets this season as a sub.

Another homegrown talent: Also out of LouCity’s academy program is midfielder Carlos Moguel Jr., who given a spate of injuries within the first team has appeared on Cruz’s last two team sheets. The 17-year-old from Shelbyville, Ky., is is with the club on a USL Academy contract, preserving his amateur status but allowing him to train with and play for the pro club. The senior out of Martha Layne Collins High School has been recognized as a Courier Journal All-Area, All-Louisville first team and All-State selection.

Who’s on the sidelines?: In the wake of Annan’s departure, Atlanta United 2 will reportedly be led by the club’s former U-17 coach, Jack Collison, who played professionally for West Ham United in the English Premier League. While Collison will be new to the USL Championship coaching ranks, he presumably knows a number of his players from the club’s youth academy system.

Paolo’s productivity: In these teams’ first meeting, it was midfielder and team captain Paolo DelPiccolo who boosted LouCity to a 2-0 victory over Atlanta United 2. With a brace, scoring off assists from Oscar Jimenez and George Davis IV, he matched his 2020 goal tally just one game into the 2021 season. The veteran out of the University of Louisville has pushed up in LouCity’s attack over the last year, leading to his opportunities on goal.

Away days: LouCity opened 2021 with a four-game home stand, with this trip to Atlanta its first on the road. The club will play 16 home and 16 away games in all this year, setting up a back half of the season in which the boys in purple will log plenty of miles. First, on June 12 it’s a date to look forward to with Lynn Family Stadium opening to 100% capacity for the first time as LouCity hosts Memphis 901 FC.

Louisville City FC’s burgeoning youth academy has produced its third professional player with the signing of midfielder Carlos Moguel Jr. to a first team contract finalized prior to the USL Championship’s roster freeze deadline.

Moguel’s deal announced Monday sees him follow in the footsteps of brothers Elijah and Josh Wynder. All three have earned their spots within the last year having starred for LouCity’s academy squad and taken part in a number of training sessions with older pros.

“I’m grateful, blessed and excited, because this is just the beginning,” Moguel said. “I’m ready to start this new journey. I spent two years with the academy and had to earn this. That time challenged me and pushed me, and I’m thrilled to now get a pro deal.”

A Louisville native, Moguel attended Martha Layne Collins High School in Shelbyville, Ky., where he was a Courier Journal All-Area nominee and honorable mention to the All-State list. Moguel then turned his focus more recently to LouCity.

The 18-year-old has appeared on multiple team sheets as a substitute for USL Championship games and was a key part of a successful run for the club’s first USL Academy League team. That group went an unbeaten 6-0-3 over the summer playing against, among others, familiar USL rivals Indy Eleven and Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC.

“Carlos is a young and talented young player who has shown tremendous growth this year,” said LouCity coach Danny Cruz. “He has earned this opportunity through his performances in training every day and with our USL Academy League team.

“This is a proud moment here at the club as we see another academy player sign a first team contract. I’m thankful to our ownership for their commitment as well as James O’Connor, Mario Sanchez and Luke Spencer for the work that they continue to do with these academy players. Carlos has a bright future, and we are looking forward to continuing to play an important role in his development.”

Moguel will in the immediate future provide depth to LouCity’s central midfield.

“I’ve known Carlos since he was a little kid, and he’s always been one of the top youth players in our region,” said Sanchez, the academy’s director. “Ability-wise, he can change games with his passing range. He’s got a really good engine on him. It’s another great piece of the puzzle.

“LouCity’s all about winning championships. We’re not signing kids just to sign them. We’re signing them to win, and the commitment the club shows to the pathway to pro is so important.”

Continuing to fulfill its mission of making “good things, for life,” GE Appliances has awarded Louisville City FC and Racing Louisville FC academy scholarships to two local players, easing burdens on families as a local girl and boy chase their passion to play soccer.

The $5,000 gifts — enough to cover playing fees, uniforms and most tournament travel through 2022 — were awarded at halftime of Sunday’s Racing game, with Chief Marketing Officer Mary Putman and Executive Brand Director Todd Getz on hand to present.

“We’d like to thank GE Appliances for their contribution to the club but also to these young kids,” said Mario Sanchez, the academies’ director and Racing’s interim head coach. “This will provide a wonderful opportunity. We look forward to continuing to work with GE Appliances not only to grow the sport of soccer but to grow kindness in our community.”

The Racing academy’s scholarship recipient, Audrey Gamez, is a seventh grader at Jefferson County Traditional Middle School who plays for the club’s 2009 (U13) group. LouCity academy recipient Bilombele Kanzulu is a Butler Traditional High School freshman on the 2006 (U16) squad.

“GE Appliances is all about the community, and part of that is investing in our youth,” Putman said. “Through Racing and LouCity along with the academy, we support the athletics inspiring and empowering youth to reach their dreams from our own backyard.”

GE Appliances’ academy scholarship pledges were made as part of a larger partnership placing an iconic brand in half of American homes on the front of jerseys across the Soccer Holdings, LLC, family. That includes each of the USL Championship member LouCity, National Women’s Soccer League expansion club Racing Louisville and their associated youth systems.

When the landmark agreement was announced last December, GE Appliances revealed plans to offer a scholarship to a member of the Racing academy. The Louisville-based company also donated proceeds for every replica jersey purchase made so far this year, a total tallied up to create a LouCity academy scholarship as well.

“I was really surprised,” Kanzulu said. “I’ve never experienced something like that. I’ve been working hard, and to be here I’m excited. It means a lot to be playing for academy, and one day I hope to play on the senior LouCity team.”

“I’m very excited,” Gamez added. “It’s super exciting. I’m really glad to have the opportunity to play for the academy.”

Having started their second seasons this fall, the LouCity and Racing academies are elite soccer programs designed to give area players a clear pathway to collegiate or professional soccer. Teams practice at the Lynn Family Sports Vision & Training Center and wear the same jerseys as their pro counterparts. Already, brothers Elijah and Josh Wynder have graduated from the academy ranks to turn pro with LouCity, the first of many players expected to do so in the years to come.

GE Appliances, a Haier company, strives to make the world a better place, and its team is committed to leading in the communities where employees live and work. A purpose-rooted and passion-driven organization, GE Appliances believes there is always a better way. It sells products under the Monogram®, Café™, GE Profile™, GE® Appliances, Haier, and Hotpoint brands.

Early strikes by two of the USL Championship’s top scorers made for a level result Saturday on Louisville City FC’s visit to Memphis 901 FC.

Memphis’ Kyle Murphy slotted in his 15th goal of the season in just the second minute shortly before LouCity’s Cameron Lancaster answered with a seventh-minute equalizer.

The final whistle blew at AutoZone Park for a 1-1 draw, a frustrating result after the boys in purple controlled 68% percent of second half possession while aggressively hunting a game-winner.

“Obviously, we started the game really poorly doing the opposite of what we spoke about all week, so I’m really frustrated by that,” said LouCity coach Danny Cruz. “Then Cam has an unbelievable finish that bails us out to go 1-1. I thought we created enough opportunities again to win the game, but ultimately it’s two points dropped, and we’re going to have to look at the tape and improve.”

LouCity moved its record to 14-5-6 on the season and extended its Central Division lead to four points, at least until second-place Birmingham Legion FC plays on Sunday. A draw also narrowed LouCity’s “magic number” for a playoffs clinch to six with seven games to go.

The boys in purple have better than a 99% chance of qualifying for the postseason, according to FiveThirtyEight.com, but they’re looking for the highest point total possible to get in line to host their playoff games.

“Two points dropped tonight makes that extremely frustrating,” Cruz said. “I’m looking for a good response Wednesday (at Atlanta United 2), and I know that we’ll have it. There’s no doubt about that — but certainly a bad taste in my mouth after tonight.”

In that respect, Saturday’s result marked a bit of a setback. But LouCity could also consider itself fortunate given how the game opened.

Working in transition, Memphis 901 FC used a pair of one-touch connections between Kadeem Dacres and Murphy, who slotted his shot smoothly into the corner for the early lead. It marked the second-fastest goal ever scored on LouCity behind only Lucky Mkosona’s opening-minute strike for Penn FC on June 16, 2018, to start a game that also ended level.

The home advantage didn’t last long. Minutes later at the other end of the pitch, Jonathan Gomez looped a cross to Lancaster, who finessed a header from just outside the box over a reaching Memphis goalkeeper to tie the score.

“Obviously it’s not something you want — going down early — but going down in the second or third minute, you know you’ve got 90 minutes to turn it around so you can’t put your head down,” Gomez said.

As for Lancaster’s bit of brilliance, Gomez added: “I’ll tell you I was aiming for Cam, but I wasn’t necessarily thinking he would head it from there. So that’s a spectacular, world-class finish for him.”

Murphy now ranks second in the USL Championship in scoring, while Lancaster’s in a tie for third. They’re both chasing Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC’s Hadji Barry, who with 23 goals leads the Golden Boot race.

LouCity can claim the better of Saturday’s game, out-shooting Memphis by a 15-7 margin and out-passing the opposition 464-283. It wasn’t until the second half, however, that 901 FC so much as tried a shot in the box during a final 45 minutes consistently broken up by whistles.

In hindsight, the best chances for the boys in purple to pull ahead came around the break. Seconds into first half stoppage time, Antoine Hoppenot found himself with a point-blank look but didn’t get on the end of it. And with the final kick of the half, Paolo DelPiccolo forced a Memphis save when he struck a deflected ball in the box.

DelPiccolo also got on the end of a Gomez corner kick in the 51st minute that left teammates appealing for a goal. A further look at the replay showed Memphis’ goalkeeper, Cody Cropper, deny the header at the goal line.

There were pluses in the second half, particularly with the returns from injury by midfielder Corben Bone and defender Pat McMahon. Both came on for the final 24 minutes and should be available moving forward when LouCity continues its road trip Wednesday in Atlanta.

“Corben and Pat are ready to go,” Cruz said. “They’re available for selection, obviously, playing them tonight. They’ll push the group with regard to selection in the team.”

Louisville City FC shut out Indy Eleven by a 2-0 score on the road Saturday night in a feisty rivalry battle fueled by 34 fouls — 17 apiece for both sides.

Antoine Hoppenot registered the first goal of the game and his third of the season in the 41st minute after he jabbed Jorge Gonzalez’s through ball past the oncoming Indy goalkeeper. Cameron Lancaster doubled LouCity’s lead when high pressing helped the ball onto Hoppenot, who looped it toward Lancaster for an acrobatic flicked header over the keeper in the 69th minute.

“I was extremely proud of the group. I told them that after the game,” LouCity coach Danny Cruz said. “We limited their chances. We dealt with their long balls. We dealt with the second balls. These games always have a bit of bite to them — a bit of fire to them. I thought the entire front group was excellent tonight.

“I thought the movement off the ball was good. We didn’t start the game how we wanted, and I’m OK saying that because the response was excellent. The guys that came off the bench were excellent. They gave us everything we needed to close out the game. I felt that tonight, it was an excellent team performance from everyone.”

This is the first time this season LouCity have taken home all three points against Eleven FC, with their previous two meetings ending with a loss and a draw.

The boys in purple were dominant on both sides of the pitch. Offensively, they tried twice as many shots (10) and corners (4) than Indy. Defensively, a strong shift ensured a sixth clean sheet on the season.

Here’s more of what we learned Saturday…

Seizing the moments

Playmaking was key to unlocking the Indy defense as the Eleven’s compact midfield made penetrating the backline difficult. But a few players stood out in securing the three points.

Hoppenot was on fire against Indy with a goal and an assist. The Frenchman attempted three shots on the night, second only to Lancaster’s four. Speaking of him, Lancaster also had the most shots on target out of any player on the field with two.

Against his former team, Tyler Gibson made 22 passes in the opposition’s half, the most of any LouCity player. Consistent as ever, Brian Ownby put in five crosses from the winger position in Danny Cruz’s 4-3-3 formation.

Jonathan Gomez, while putting in three crosses on offense, worked tirelessly back on defense with a total of 10 duels. The 18-year-old also won four fouls while conceding none. 

Complete defensive effort

A trend of conceding late may be in the past, as it has no been six straight games LouCity hasn’t allowed an opposing goal after the 80th minute.

Combined Saturday, LouCity center backs Sean Totsch and Alexis Souahy had seven clearances, the same number the entire Indy Eleven team had all night. The pair also registered three interceptions, adding to their combined tally of 50 on the season. 

It wasn’t just the center backs who shut Indy down as Ownby had the most tackles of any player on the night with three. LouCity’s trio of midfielders contributed two interceptions apiece as well as gained possession from Indy 18 times.

Heat maps indicate that Indy Eleven was rarely allowed into LouCity’s box. Only one opposing shot was taken from the area.

“To be fair to the group, we’ve deserved more [clean sheets],” Cruz said about his defense. “We’re limiting opponents to an average of six shots a game. It’s easy to talk about the shutouts but I think that [the clean sheet] was thoroughly deserved tonight.”

Rounding into form

LouCity’s 4-3-3 formation seemed to lock Indy down. The club’s wingers tend to drift up, and Gibson has played a key role as of late to anchor the defensive midfield.

As we’ve seen all season, Gomez furthermore displayed his amazing defensive 1-on-1 capabilities as he only allowed red-hot Indy winger Gordan Wild one shot on target.

LouCity veteran Oscar Jimenez has also been solid since returning from injury. He didn’t allow Indy’s left forward a single shot or key pass and conceded only one open play cross.

Louisville City FC reestablished its winning ways Saturday in the Louisville Indianapolis Proximity Association Football Contest series, and the boys in purple had a familiar face to thank.

Antoine Hoppenot — the stoppage-time scoring hero of the 2019 Eastern Conference Final — netted a goal and tallied an assist Saturday as LouCity defeated Indy Eleven by a 2-0 score in the clubs’ first meeting since then played back at Carroll Stadium.

LouCity paired the forward Hoppenot’s goal contributions with a solid night defensively, conceding only two shots on target to lock up the side’s sixth clean sheet of the season.

“He gets fired up when he’s here,” coach Danny Cruz said of Hoppenot, with Indy Eleven back at Carroll Stadium this season after Lucas Oil Stadium previously served as its home. “It’s obviously a really good memory that was made here. He’s got some confidence. I thought he was fantastic on both sides of the ball.”

Three points earned kept the boys in purple — now 14-5-5 — atop the Central Division table with nine games to go before the playoffs. Their 47 points are six ahead of second-place Birmingham Legion FC and five off the Tampa Bay Rowdies for the league’s best overall record as of this writing.

Saturday’s result also marked the first LIPAFC victory for LouCity in 2021 following an earlier defeat and draw at Lynn Family Stadium. The rivals close out their four-game LIPAFC series Oct. 16 at Carroll Stadium, where attention is sure to turn back to Hoppenot.

“It’s pretty clear: We don’t like Indy,” Cruz said. “It is what it is, so these games always have a little bit of bite to them — a little bit of fire. But honestly, that group of guys in there, I understand that in the first two games we didn’t get the results we’re looking for, but you constantly see that bite — that fire — every time we play Indy.”

In a game that had lacked quality chances for either side, Hoppenot ran in behind Indy Eleven’s defense and had Jorge Gonzalez play a ball through to his feet. The 30-year-old winger tapped his shot forward before contact with the opposing goalkeeper to open scoring.

On the other side of the halftime whistle, Hoppenot, working on the left flank, whipped in a 69th-minute cross to striker Cameron Lancaster, who guided a header to the back post and in to double the lead.

“It’s a weird field. It’s a tough field to play on. I think it makes it a little complicated on everyone,” Hoppenot said. “It’s a lot of those second moments — second balls — and maybe you hope a deflection to go your way. That’s how I play the game. I got a good deflection today and got a cross in.”

Lancaster’s goal marked his 13th of the year — third-most across the league — and both he and Hoppenot exited immediately after their connection, an apt curtain call.

“We had a moment beforehand when I got to go to get a drink at the bench,” Hoppenot said, “and my calves were about to cramp, so I told Danny. He said, ‘All right, give me four minutes.’ Then I got an assist in those four minutes, Cam gets a goal and we both get subbed off.

“It’s pretty nice. It’s kind of funny. It’s the way you want it to happen.”

The Englishman Lancaster’s return to the lineup was one of five changes from Cruz, who also had available defender Oscar Jimenez and Brian Ownby. All three in that key trio have been plagued by injuries at points this year, though Cruz is expecting the roster back to full strength by the postseason.

Saturday’s game marked the third of five away fixtures for LouCity to close out September. The boys in purple travel next weekend for an 8 p.m. ET kickoff at Memphis 901 FC.
