In a tightly contested USL Championship match at Patriots Point, Charleston Battery defeated Tampa Bay Rowdies 2-1. Charleston, playing in a 4-2-3-1 formation, edged out Tampa Bay, who played a 3-4-3, with slightly more possession (54.3% to 45.7%). The Battery capitalized on their opportunities, converting two of their six shots on target, while the Rowdies only managed one goal from their three shots on target. Cal Jennings opened the scoring for Charleston with a penalty in added time of the first half. Matt Myers extended their lead in the 73rd minute. Woobens Pacius pulled one back for Tampa Bay just two minutes later, but it wasn't enough to spark a comeback. The AI correctly predicted a Charleston Battery win, aligning with their slightly higher home team rate (0.547).
Charleston committed fewer fouls (14) than Tampa Bay (20), but the Rowdies received more yellow cards (3 to Charleston's 1). Looking at Charleston's recent form, this victory breaks a pattern of mixed results, following a loss to North Carolina FC. The Battery will host Pittsburgh Riverhounds next, a team they've had a good record against at home in the past, although the Riverhounds are coming off two consecutive wins. For Tampa Bay, this loss continues a somewhat inconsistent run of form. They face Loudoun United FC next at home, a team that has troubled them in the past.
The game mirrored the previous encounter between these two in November 2024, also won by Charleston 2-1 at home. The Rowdies' struggle away from home continues, mirroring their recent losses to Tulsa and Las Vegas. The Battery's ability to convert their chances at home proved to be the difference, as was the case in many of their previous home matches against Tampa Bay.
