JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Armada FC took on the Montverde Academy Eagles at Patton Park on Saturday in a game that ended in a 1-1 draw. Forward Jonathan Glenn scored his second goal of the preseason in the waning minutes of the second half to bring the Armada FC even with the Eagles.

The friendly was split into two 35-minute halves, with one goal coming in each half. The Eagles found the back of the net in the 4th minute of the match when they were able to sneak a one-touch flick over the head of the keeper.

The Armada FC responded late in the second half when Glenn netted the equalizer for the team. The goal came off of an assist from an Armada FC trialist, who managed to sneak the pass by the Montverde Academy goalkeeper, setting Glenn up for a one-touch shot.

The second half was dominated by the Armada FC, with the team creating multiple chances in the last 15 minutes of the match. The team tallied three shots on goal in the last five minutes of the game, but could not find the goal it needed to get the victory.

The Armada FC will return to the pitch on Wednesday at 10 a.m. to face off against the University of North Florida Ospreys at Hodges Stadium.
