Another scorching afternoon in Kalamazoo as City wrapped up the season. First place in the Great Lakes Division of the NPSL was ours, but a win assured us a bye in the first-round of the NPSL Midwest Region playoffs.
Maki-vision streamed the match back home.
It didn’t take long. City drew a PK and in the 9th minute, Max Todd gave us the lead.
Isaiah Nieves equalized in the 25th minute, and the teams went into halftime knotted at a goal each.
Kalamazoo FC, a mid-table team, handed us our only defeat of the season back at our home opener. They match up well against us, and a 3-win, 3-loss, 1-draw record against them is evidence of that. It took until the 72nd minute, when Abdoulaye Diop scored a beauty, to give City the lead that would not be relinquished.
Tommy Buono buried a third in the 90th, securing a playoff bye.
2019 NPSL Great Lakes Division Champions.
