Players to Watch
Jean Antoine (Chattanooga FC) - It’s hard to discuss which player has been the most important to CFC in these early games without bringing up goalkeeper Jean Antoine into the conversation. The 2022 Golden Glove winner has been a key piece of the defense only allowing 2 goals in 5 games, while making multiple critical saves at important times. He has shown that he is beyond capable of rising to the occasion.
Leon Maric (Michigan Stars) - The 6 '5, 24 year old will be looking to impose his will on CFC’s back line. Maric got the ball in the net not once but twice in the Stars last match against Gold Star FC Detroit. He’ll look to continue his good form against a sturdy Chattanooga defense that has allowed teams little to no room for goals.
