FC Tampa Bay Rowdies beat Rhode Island FC 2-0 in the USL Championship, with the breakthrough arriving in the 61st minute and a second goal in the 90th minute to seal the win. The result settled a contest that was goalless at the interval, despite a yellow card for Hugo Bacharach before the break and another for Evan Conway early in the second half.
Conner Antley opened the scoring in the 61st minute, finishing after Dion Jeremy Acoff provided the assist. A second Rowdies goal followed in the 90th minute to put the game beyond any doubt, with the scorer uncredited in the match facts.
The box score makes for unusual reading: the hosts had 59% possession and completed 39 passes, but were credited with no shots, while Rhode Island had the only shot of the game, one on target. Both goalkeepers made one save, yet it was the Rowdies who took their chances from open play and came away with the points.
