After dropping a hard-fought game 2-1 to the Fort Lauderdale Strikers Saturday evening, the Fury now await the league’s second place side, the San Antonio Scorpions, who have 12 points after five games. The Fury have one point and are last in the league. The teams square off next Sunday afternoon.

There was some good news Saturday night. The team finally scored a goal at home and took an early lead. But they could not hold their advantage as the team from Florida scored twice to take the match.

The historic Fury goal came off the foot of Carl Haworth in the 10th minute, but the Strikers scored soon after.

Rather than tightening up, the game turned into a free-flowing affair that tilted Fort Lauderdale’s way when Darnell King scored in the 76th minute.

For both teams the game was an important one. Each is trying to claw their way up in the standings.
