Competition: Sat 25.July
Match begins: 23:30 (UTC)
Venue: BBVA Compass Field (5000 seats)

The Birmingham Legion manager T. Soehn attacks this game with the team placed 4th so far. In the visitors dressing room Tampa Bay Rowdies and their manager N. Collins are in 2nd place before this match.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Tampa Bay Rowdies have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
