The Bantams took an early lead, but Bilal Nakhil equalized for Peachtree City in the 41st minute. The Bantams answered back quickly, scoring off a corner kick in the 43rd minute.

The Bantams stretched their lead to 3-1 in the 69th minute, but substitute Ryan King answered back for MOBA in the 79th minute. Nakhil assisted on the goal. A furious finish saw the Bantams hold on for the 3-2 win.

NEXT: Away vs. Southern West Virginia King's Warriors on Thursday, May 26 at 7:00pm. Away vs. Charlotte Eagles on Saturday, May 28 at 7:00pm.

South Georgia Tormenta FC

While the result was not what the Tormenta hoped for, the club had to be pleased with drawing 3105 fans to Erk Russell Field in Statesboro for their home debut. The Carolina Dynamo won the match 3-0.

With this week off, the Tormenta will have time to regroup and fix the mistakes on the field. They will also have time to see if they can grow their fanbase even further. While Detroit City's 7000+ crowd drew the headlines last weekend in the 4th Division, Tormenta FC drawing over 3000 fans in Statesboro has to be seen as an immense accomplishment.
