Chattanooga Red Wolves snatched a 1-0 win over One Knoxville SC despite being thoroughly outplayed. Joshua Ramos's 74th-minute header was the difference, giving the hosts three points they barely deserved on the balance of play.
The only goal came when Omar Hernandez swung in a cross from the right and Ramos powered a header past the Knoxville keeper. Until then, Knoxville had controlled the game, with 68% possession and 18 shots—but they could not find a way past the Red Wolves' defence. Four yellow cards were shown, to William Perkins, Babacar Diene, Jordan Ayimbila, and Eric Kinzner, but no red.
The box score told a lopsided story: Knoxville had 18 shots to Chattanooga's six, and 68% ball possession. Yet the Red Wolves goalkeeper made six saves to keep a clean sheet, while Knoxville's keeper faced only two shots on target. Chattanooga took their one big chance; Knoxville missed theirs.
