Fest Success…Now for the Road
The Kickers walked away Saturday after a 3:0 win over Dayton in front of a record breaking 4742 fans and with the 2011 Family Fest. William Yomby got on the scoresheet first with a 24th minute shot from a cross by Nozomi Hiroyama. 6 minutes later the dangerous Matthew Delicâte heads in a cross from Stanley Nyazamaba. Nyazamba had to cut 3 times on his way towards the end line to get the cross over the the awaiting Delicâte. The team took the 2:0 lead into halftime. The final Kickers goal came in the 54th minute in the form of a penalty that is put away by Delicâte. Jamel Wallace was the player that was brought down in the box to draw the penalty.
From here the team goes on the road to both Wilmington and LA (twice). Winning out the rest of the matches (and probably some other help along the way) will allow for the Kickers to pick up a home playoff match.
Don’t forget that the Kickers must travel to the Chicago Fire (MLS) on August 30th for the US Open Cup Semi-Final. Richmond has defeated both the Columbus Crew and Sporting Kansas City 2:0 in both matches to get to this point.
