LouCity 2-1 Tampa Bay Rowdies; Hilton return provides spark to unlucky Rowdies
The Rowdies lost again but were the superior side after Lewis Hilton came on.
Due to trying to keep an eye on the Miami FC match in Rhode Island and the Tampa Bay Sun match against the Dallas Trinity (congrats Sun!), I want to rewatch the match before making a post match video or giving full postmatch commentary.
However, the most obvious thing to me was that after Lewis Hilton came on in the second half (Hilton has been out of action for two months), the Rowdies looked like the Rowdies of old.
From my vantage point, Tampa Bay dominated the final 35 minutes of the match after Hilton was brought on and LouCity were hanging on for dear life.
But this is just an initial assessment. I am going to rewatch the entire 90 minutes continuously (likely on Sunday morning) before giving more perspective.
