Dramatik, røde kort og målorgier – sådan udspillede USL Championship 2025 Runde 9 sig
Niende runde i årets USL Championship bød på alt det, vi på fodboldinordamerika.dk elsker at fremhæve: tidlige føringer, vendepunkter i pausen, røde kort der ændrede kampbilledet og en regulær hattrick-helt i El Paso. I alt blev der scoret 24 mål i de ti opgør, og kun to kampe endte uden vinder.
San Antonio FC leverede rundens største comeback mod Colorado Springs, mens El Paso Locomotive FC med tre scoringer fra samme mand sikrede sig en klar sejr over New Mexico United. Samtidig noterede vi os solide præstationer af Louisville City FC, North Carolina FC og Charleston Battery, der alle hev fuld gevinst hjem. I det følgende gennemgår vi samtlige kampe minutiøst – lige fra dommerens navn til sidste indskiftning – så du får det komplette overblik.

Rundens konklusion
Runde 9 viste USL Championships bredde og uforudsigelighed. Tre scoringer fra Wilmer Jr. i El Paso og San Antonios stærke anden halvleg på Toyota Field stjal overskrifterne, mens North Carolina FC og Louisville City FC begge holdt nullet i deres sejre.
Der blev uddelt tre røde kort – til Matthew Real, Forster Ajago og Ángel Villamayor – hvilket satte ekstra krydderi på flere af opgørene. Samtidig leverede flere indskiftere øjeblikkelig effekt; blandt andre Tabort Preston, der lagde op til Birmingham Legions føringsmål, og Mohamed Omar, der udlignede for San Antonio kort efter pausen.
Med masser af mål, disciplinære sager og taktiske justeringer fik vi præcis den underholdning, der kendetegner USL Championship. Vi er tilbage med endnu en detaljeret gennemgang, når næste runde er spillet.
