Red Wolves Conclude Inaugural Season with Draw

October 6, 2019 By Dick Cook and Contributed Article 0 Comments

The Chattanooga Red Wolves (10-8-10) drew with Toronto FC II (9-10-10) 1-1 on Saturday night at David Stanton Field. The match marked the team’s final competition of its 2019 Inaugural Season.

The Red Wolves came out firing and took the lead early. On a counter attack, defender Tony Walls found Greg Hurst at the top of Toronto’s 18-yard box. Hurst slipped a through ball deep into the box to SitoSeoane, who fired the ball past goalkeeper Eric Klenofsky and into the bottom left corner of the net to give Chattanooga a 1-0 lead. The goal marked Seoane’s seventh of the season.

The teams traded chances for the rest of the half with Greg Hurst coming the closest to double the lead. Goalkeeper Alex Mangels kept Toronto out of the net for the half, recording four saves.  

Toronto came out hot in the second half and kept Chattanooga on the defensive for the majority of the 45 minutes.

The Red Wolves did have their chances, however, and managed to put the ball in the back of the net in the 78th minute, but Juan Mare was called offsides. Just moments later, the game was tied as Toronto’s Jordan Perruzza fired a ball past Mangels to equalize. 

Chattanooga created chances in the final minutes of the match but was ultimately unable to capitalize.

With the draw, the Red Wolves conclude their 2019 season with a 10-8-10 record and 40 points, just three shy of a playoff spot. Alex Mangels finished the season for the Red Wolves first in USL League One in saves with 85. Steven Beattie led the team in goals with nine, and VangjelZguro led the team in assists with seven.
