Match Recap – Louisville City vs FC Tulsa – 05/28/2022

With the loss to Nashville SC being the club’s third consecutive loss in all competitions, Louisville City had added motivation going into their match against Tulsa. Like the Monterey Bay match, it’s a match in which LouCity enters as the favorites, however, anything can happen and another “off” performance from the boys in purple could lead to the club’s first four-match losing streak. Coach Danny Cruz saw an improved mentality from the boys against Nashville compared to the

Next Match – Louisville City vs FC Tulsa – 05/28/2022

Louisville City is on a two match losing streak (three if you’re counting the Open Cup match against Nashville SC). This is cushioned by a phenomenal start to the season, but the lead they once had in the East is all but gone. While the loss against LA had the excuses of fixture congestion, travel, and heavy roster rotation, the Monterey Bay loss didn’t. It was a stretch to expect a rebound outcome against MLS’ Nashville SC, but Coach Cruz did see some improvements as well as

Match Recap – Louisville City vs Monterey Bay FC – 05/21/2022

After being handed their first loss of the year, Louisville City had plenty of time to rest up and prepare for their next league match against Monterey Bay. A match at home against a struggling expansion team (who had to travel cross-country) with several key players set to return (Manny Perez, Amadou Dia, Cameron Lancaster) is as perfect of an opportunity as you could ask for to rebound from the loss and head into the midweek Open Cup match against MLS’s Nashville SC.

It’s a bummer that Louisville City’s unbeaten streak came to an end. Allowing four goals against LA Galaxy 2 was very uncharacteristic for the squad, even one that was run down by fixture congestion and featured a heavily rotated lineup. Thankfully, the boys in purple will have a full week to recover and learn from the mistakes in LA before their next match. LouCity’s next opponent is an unfamiliar Monterey Bay FC who only joined the league this year. Who is Monterey Bay? Wel

Match Recap – LA Galaxy 2 vs Louisville City – 05/13/2022

The first and likely only matchup between Louisville City and LA Galaxy 2 came on the heel of Louisville’s second penalty kick finish in the 2022 edition of the US Open Cup. Los Dos have had a decent start to the season and was looking to take advantage of the opportunity presented to them against a tired LouCity. And if you believe in the unluckiness of Friday the 13th, the boys in purple had that working against them as well. All factored considered, the late match in LA ha

After manhandling ATL Jr and advancing in the US Open Cup in a thrilling fashion against Detroit City, it’s off to LA for Louisville City for a spooky Friday the 13th match against the Galaxy 2. LouCity and Los Dos have never faced off before. It will be their only meeting (barring the playoffs). Will Morados fly out of Tinseltown with some points or will short rest get the better of them? Despite being a MLS 2 team, they haven’t done too bad. They are flirting with the playo

How's It Going? Part 1 - An Assessment Of Louisville City's 2022 Season-To-Date

Louisville City is ten games into the 34 game regular season. Of the ten matches played, they have earned seven wins, three draws, and ZERO losses. They sit atop the Eastern Conference and are the lone remaining unbeaten team in the league. With the season a little more than 1/4th the way completed, the time felt right to take a look back at the storylines entering the season and the early impressions to see how they have held up along with other observations on this fantasti

Match Recap – Atlanta United 2 vs Louisville City – 05/04/2022

Louisville City has had a terrific start to the 2022 season. After a dominant performance against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, they boast an impressive 6-3-0 record in regular season play and a +12 goal differential. City’s next test was their final trip south to face a struggling Atlanta United 2. Entering the match, the odds seemed heavily in Louisville’s favor. Could they maintain their historic start or would Atlanta play spoiler to LouCity’s fun? Lineup Several changes in

Editor’s Notes

To preface this post, it is very meta and doesn’t have much to do with the team that brought you here to this site. If you do not care about my thoughts on a change in style, skip this post and I hope to see you back for the next one! Ok, with that warning out of the way, let’s get into it. If you have been reading my writing for a while, you will notice that the Match Recaps have had a largely consistent format with minor changes once in every blue moon. I’m a fan of consist

Coming off a statement win against the then 2nd place Pittsburgh Riverhounds, Louisville City is hitting the road for what is very likely the FINAL match against Atlanta United 2 in USL play. ATL2 was the first opponent in the regular season (which ended as a LouCity win) and is the first team that City will face for a second time. Although they haven’t exactly been a top team this season (more on that below), they did give Louisville one of their more painful losses in 2021

Match Recap – Louisville City vs Pittsburgh Riverhounds – 04/30/2022

After a tiring stretch of matches concluding with a draw at Charleston, Louisville City was set to take part in a clash of the titans. First versus second in the Eastern Conference. It’s not unusual for the Pittsburgh Riverhounds to be hovering at the top of the conference. They played spoiler for City’s inaugural Lynn Family Stadium match in 2020. Would they be the ones to end LouCity’s unbeaten streak, or would Louisville send a message to the league and send the Hounds pac
