RECAP: KALAMAZOO FC 0, DETROIT CITY FC 1

After earning their first win on the season Wednesday, Kalamazoo FC had an opportunity to show off their recent offensive prowess on the pitch Sunday at home with Detroit City FC.  The extremely hot temperatures couldn’t keep the goals coming for Kalamazoo, managing only one shot on net in a 1-0 loss to DCFC at Mayors Riverfront Park.

The lone goal came in the 18th minute, when Shawn Lawson scored his third goal of the year for Le Rogue. Tyrone Mondi got the assist, stealing a pass from KZFC’s Quamie Dinnall and connecting with Lawson on a deflected pass.

KZFC were unable to put any offensive threat on until the final 10 minutes. Through the whole match, KZFC had four total shots and two corner kicks. They played a clean game, penalized for only four fouls.

Kalamazoo FC remain near the bottom of the table in the National Premier Soccer League‘s Great Lakes Conference with only 4 points, tied with FC Indiana. DCFC stays in third, moving closer to second place Lansing United.
