🏴‍☠️Match Day

Having never defeated their rivals in five attempts, Steel City faces a challenge that eclipses all previous encounters; the loser of this game will be relegated.

For the first time, Steel City will kick off a match from the depths of the relegation zone.

Czarni's Redmond Park home, unadorned and open, feels more like a child's recreational space than a competitive arena. But all eyes will be there.

Coach Dillard - ever bold and decisive - has made six changes to the eleven that gave RWB Adria trouble in a one-goal game last week. 

The game-day squad is infused with attacking prowess, featuring players who have collectively scored nearly 50% of Steel City's all-time league goals.

Seven battle-hardened veterans - those that have been with the team three years or more - will marshal every ounce of their grit and determination to lead the club they've built to safety.

The teams played to a 1-1 draw at Duly in June. Makonnen Stampley (from Rafa Garcia) leveled the match in the 81st minute. Stampley is on an extended vacation in Ethiopia.

Czarni edged Steel City in the national amateur tournament in April. In that match, Czarni's Sal Garcia had trouble containing Nolan McGrath, brutally fouling him and seeing red, the first of two he's earned this year. Steel City couldn't break through with the man-advantage, but the McGrath/Garcia battle is one to watch Tuesday night.
