It was once again J.C. Obregon to the rescue, as WSL’s leading scorer, and one of USL League One’s chief contenders for the Golden Boot, scored on a nifty strike just 16 minutes into the match to give the visiting squad a 1-1 draw with One Knoxville on Saturday night. Knoxville struck early, with Babacar Diene taking advantage of a Dane Jacomen miscue just three minutes into the match to take a 1-0 lead, before Obregon countered.
The rest of the match was very tightly contests despite Knoxville eventually holding a 13-6 advantage in shots, but Jacomen had a solid second half to keep the match a draw. The match mirrored the 1-1 draw the two clubs had in Mt. Vernon on June 7.
WSC is now 2-3-4 in USL League One road matches, with a win and a draw in two of their last three competitions away from home sandwiched around a tough 2-1 loss at FC Naples last Saturday.
The tie moves WSC to 3- 7-5 on the season heading into next weekend’s Jägermeister Cup match at Detroit City FC, before returning to USL League One competition on August 1 at home vs. Chattanooga.
