Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Xavier Zengue scored twice as Lexington SC thrashed FC Tampa Bay Rowdies 4-1 away in the USL Championship. Zengue was the standout player, opening the scoring and adding a second before half-time to set his side on course for a dominant victory.

The turning point came early when Zengue converted Braudilio Rodrigues' cross in the 12th minute, and Nicolas Firmino doubled the lead two minutes later from Phillip Goodrum's assist. Marcus Epps made it three just before the break from Aaron Molloy's pass, and while Gino Vivi pulled one back for Tampa Bay in the 78th minute from Charlie Ostrem's delivery, Tarik Scott restored the three-goal cushion late on with Molloy's second assist.

Lexington were the better side throughout, controlling both halves with assertive play. CheckLive's model clearly favoured FC Tampa Bay Rowdies and was proven wrong, as Lexington's clinical finishing and sustained pressure told a different story. There is no next fixture to look ahead to.
