RCU Falls To Chattanooga FC In USOC Qualifying
Saturday was not a good day for teams wearing red and black. While Rocket City United weren't dominated in quite the same way their more famous United team were, both went down to superior sides. CFC's star forward, Chris Ochieng, created one goal and finished the other. And it could have been much worse as Tyler Early had a terrific match keeping CFC off the board for the first two thirds of the match.
RCU failed to generate much in the way of possession and attacking penetration and were punished by a 2:0 defeat and elimination from NPSL Southeast Region's US Open Cup Qualifying Tournament. CFC will meet the Atlanta Silverbacks Reserves in the Finals Sunday night. ASR defeated Jacksonville United 3:1 on two very late goals.

did RCU have tired legs on saturday night against CFC? Thought they might after playing Friday night. Trying to judge how they will play against CFC in league play.

Yeah, it did look like a few players were gassed. I think RCU were fortunate that the opening match was basically over by half time, and they were able to use their subs early to minimize minutes.
