Previous Meetings

Flower City Union and Chattanooga FC squared off 4 times in the 2022 season. Flower City drew first blood with a 1-0 victory back in April of 2022. Since then, CFC has outscored the Union 11-1, winning 3 consecutive games with score lines of 5-1, 5-0, and 1-0. CFC will look to continue their current form and remain top of the table.

Players to Watch

Alex McGrath (Chattanooga FC) - The 25 year old English midfielder has been in great form to start the year. Registering 2 goals in his past 2 games, McGrath masterfully controls the midfield alongside Richard Dixon. CFC will look to rely on him to control the tempo of the game and to create chances for Chattanooga’s dangerous front three. If CFC want to continue their current form, a strong midfield is essential.

Stephen Elias (Flower City Union) - Elias was on fire his last time out with the Union netting 2 goals against Manhattan SC. Allowing only 1 goal, Elias propelled his team to a 3-1 victory ensuring a third round appearance for Flower City in the U.S. Open Cup. The Union defender will be sure to have his hands full with Chattanooga’s front line.
