Rhode Island FC made the most of their only shot on target to beat Pittsburgh Riverhounds 1-0 in the USL Championship. Jerome Williams’ second-half strike proved decisive, leaving the home side frustrated despite controlling large parts of the game.
The match remained goalless until the 62nd minute, when Williams finished from close range after a Nicholas Scardina assist. The Riverhounds pushed for an equaliser but could not find a way past the visitors’ defence. Two yellow cards — to Agustín Rodríguez just before half-time and Victor Souza late on — were the only other notable incidents.
Pittsburgh had the better of the possession (54%) and more total shots (6 to 4), including three efforts on target, but Rhode Island’s goalkeeper made four saves to preserve the clean sheet. The visitors’ only big chance was the one they scored, a classic example of efficiency over dominance.
