BROOKLYN, N.Y. \u2013 An own goal doomed the Brooklyn Football Club to a 1-0 loss to Louisville City FC in a USL Championship match on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
The defeat dropped ninth-place Brooklyn (3 points) to 1-4 in the Eastern Conference standings, while Louisville City (12) improved to 4-0-0.<\/p>\n
The men played in the second game of a split doubleheader at Maimonides Park, as the Brooklyn FC women dropped a 1-0 decision to Lexington SC.<\/p>\n
The lone goal of the match was scored on the hour as a deflected ball off Thomas Vancaeyezeele resulted in an own goal.<\/p>\n
The hosts had a few opportunities. Vuk Latinovich\u2019s close-range header sailed wide of the target before Vancaeyezeele followed with a point-blank header just missed the target.<\/p>\n
Brooklyn goalkeeper Jackson Lee also played a key role in keeping the match level, making multiple saves to deny Louisville\u2019s early opportunities.<\/p>\n
After the own goal, Brooklyn responded with sustained attacking pressure and several clear chances. Markus Anderson forced a save with a driven effort from distance, while Stefan Stojanovic was denied from close range.<\/p>\n
Later, Taimu Okiyoshi tested the goalkeeper with a shot from outside the area, but Louisville goalkeeper Hugo Fauroux remained composed to preserve the lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Overview: An own goal doomed the Brooklyn Football Club to a 1-0 loss to Louisville City FC in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":178751,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,9025,100,99,72265,9,24,63,72266,9029],"class_list":["post-178750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-fc","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-louisville-city-fc","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-thomas-vancaeyezeele","tag-usl-championship"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178750\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
