Fort Wayne 2-3 One Knox

Three HUGE away points for the champs. They come from behind late after Ian Fuller makes some impactful subs. Knoxville now just 1 point behind Madison for third.

FtW at 8th lost a chance to get distance from Corpus Christi.

9' Fort Wayne scores.

Taig Healy cross from the right. Header by Ryan Becher bounces off the far post. Musa it there to knock it home.

The Mad Anthonys just going after One Knox and it paid dividends.

One thing I'd enjoy if League One regionalizes is regional sports channels (are those still a thing?) handling matches.

Swapping over to Fort Wayne and One Knox.

I'm interested in both matches but choosing the better broadcast crew.

18' Westchester already up 2-0 over Richmond.

Conor McGlynn gets the second as he keeps pace in the Golden Boot race (along with Omar Hernandez who just scored for Red Wolves).

20' Madison needs to make Jason Smith work. He has a tendancy to get caught.

7' Quick goal by Red Wolves and it's Omar Hernandez sending a low cross off a short corner into the net.

That one just went through the entire mass of bodies in the box and found it's way into the goal.

Part of the modern history of club soccer in the US is the rinse and repeat cycle of a relatively robust broad pro landscape that gets absorbed by the top levels. It then takes a long time for the now-thin lower levels to replenish what they lost.
September 15, 2026 at 2:13 PM
I'm going to bang this drum again: the US pro soccer landscape is structured (purposefully or not) on organizations moving up. There is little to no desire/resources to assist organizations that want/need to move down OR organizations that are happy to NOT move up.
