Gordon nearly found the equalizer before half-time when he created space for himself inside the penalty area and Daniel Mangarov found him with a perfectly-weighted cut-back pass, but Gordon’s resulting shot was saved by Miami keeper Matias Marin.<\/p>\n The Boys in Blue continued creating chances and eventually found the breakthrough. Sar-Sar was brought down by Daniel Sumalla during a corner kick and referee Mario Maric pointed to the spot before Robertson equalized. Not satisfied with a draw, CFC kept putting attacking pressure on Miami and it was Sumalla once again who tripped Mangarov in the penalty area before Sar-Sar found the winner from the resulting spot-kick.<\/p>\n Chattanooga FC moves up to seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings.<\/p>\n CFC will remain on the road for another matchweek, traveling to FC Cincinnati 2 for the first time on May 17. The Boys in Blue will be back in action at Finley Stadium against Carolina Core on May 24 at 3:00 p.m. ET for the latest edition of the Independent Derby.
