LEXINGTON, Ky. — Lexington Sporting Club suffered its second loss of the season in a second-vs.-third-place match against Dallas Trinity FC Sunday. A last-minute goal spoiled the afternoon for Kosuke Kimura’s side as Lexington lost, 1-0.
The first half of play was dominated by Lexington, despite the Gals in Green failing to find the back of the net. They outshot Dallas 9-2, and steered three shots on frame compared to zero for the visitors.
Trinity FC failed to record a touch inside Lexington’s box until 23 minutes into the match.
The trend continued into the second half. LSC earned the lion’s share of scoring chances and once again outshot Dallas in the period, 5-4, but the winning goal never materialized.
In a crushing turn of events for those in attendance, Dallas snatched the three points at stake in the 90+3′ minute of the 93 minutes played. A lazy roller through the box connected with a Trinity FC player, leaving Lexington in shock.
Week 21 of Gainbridge Super League action concludes with Lexington still in second place, three points ahead of Dallas and four points behind league leaders Sporting JAX.
