Next Match – LIPAFC – Indy Eleven vs Louisville City – 10/16/2021

Despite the difference in record, there is always something for both Louisville City and Indy Eleven to play for in a Louisville-Indianapolis Proximity Association Football Contest. With a draw and a win apiece between the two sides, this 4th and final LIPAFC will determine the series. After a rather painful loss to Memphis 901, City will be heading north for the final encounter with their Indiana rivals. Playing at Indy’s Carroll Stadium went well last time and the boys will

Match Recap – Memphis 901 vs Louisville City – 10/13/2021

Coming off two home wins (NM and SKC), it’s back on the road for the boys in purple. One more trip down to Memphis before the end of the season. With the Birmingham Legion right on Louisville City’s tail, every point will be critical in the final stretch of the regular season (as spelled out in How’s It Going Part 4). City only managed a draw in the previous trip south to TN, however, it was nearly a win for the away side. Would LouCity be able to beat the 901 and keep the Le

How’s It Going? Part 4 – An Assessment of Louisville City’s 2021 Season-To-Date

How about one more overview before the final few matches of the regular season? With only four matches left, there is still a TON to play for. The Central Division is far from a lock for Louisville City. Let’s dive right into it. LouCity held a six-point lead over the Birmingham Legion when the data was pulled for Part 3. That lead has evaporated to only two points. Two road draws from Morados was all the Legion needed to make it a tighter race. Home field has been officially

Match Recap – Louisville City vs Sporting Kansas City 2 – 10/09/2021

Louisville City had only secured two wins in their last five. While they have avoided losses in that stretch, the race for the top in the Central Division has become tighter than ever. Those matches were all on the road except for their most recent encounter, which saw City securing all three points against New Mexico United. The next foe LouCity would face in their quest to position themselves well for the upcoming playoffs was Sporting Kansas City. Would they be able to gra

The away-heavy recent stretch has been tough on Louisville City and despite the less-than-desirable results, they have done well to stay out of the loss column. Winning the regular-season crown may no longer be in the cards (barring some wild turn of events) but they need wins to have as much of the playoffs at home as possible. Returning home and grabbing a big win against New Mexico United was a confidence-booster for the squad. Next up for the boys in purple is Sporting Ka

After a draw in Atlanta, Louisville City finally get to return home for a match in Lynn Family Stadium. It would be no ordinary match as City would take on an unfamiliar foe, New Mexico United. This LOUvNM match would have a national audience as it was getting the ESPN treatment. With the Birmingham Legion locking in their playoff spot a day prior, the pressure was on for LouCity to do the same. Would this be a joyous homecoming for the boys in purple? Louisville City Lineup

Match Recap – Atlanta United 2 vs Louisville City – 09/29/2021

The latter portions of Louisville City’s 2021 season have been filled with many away matches and frustrating results. The team had a strong start but do not appear to be playing to their full potential as the playoffs draw near. LouCity’s most recent match, a 1-1 draw at Memphis, was a continuation of this trend. With this, ATLvLOU (who we last played back in July), being the final away match before a game back in Lynn Family Stadium, the boys in purple were looking to secure

New Signing – Carlos Moguel Jr

It’s another monumental day for the Louisville City Academy as a third youngster put pen to paper and signed a full professional contract. Following in both Elijah and Josh Wynder’s footsteps, Carlos Moguel Jr has signed his first-team contact before the USL Championship’s roster freeze deadline. Carlos had signed an academy contract earlier this season, which allowed him to play for both the academy and the first team while maintaining his amateur eligibility. The 18-year-ol

After a big LIPAFC win, momentum appeared to be on Louisville City’s side. With the playoffs essentially a lock, the squad would be playing to secure as much home field as possible. Memphis 901 was the next team up against LouCity. It had been a while since these two had faced off, but the previous match ended very favorably for Louisville.

Louisville City may only be 2-2-1 in their last five matches, but their most recent result was a 2-0 win on the road against their rivals, Indy Eleven. A big LIPAFC win will give LouCity a little more pep in their step as they hit the road again, this time to take on Memphis 901. It’s been a while since these two sides have faced one another, but the last result was a dominating 3-0 win for City. Louisville is on the cusp of officially clinching the playoffs, but Memphis is f

How’s It Going? Part 3 – An Assessment of Louisville City’s 2021 Season-To-Date

With the regular season entering the home stretch, it’s time to step back and look at the bigger picture. How has Louisville City progressed since the check-ins done in June and August? With eight more matches left for the squad in the regular season, we can see how competitive, as a whole, the boys in purple have been as they prepare for the playoffs. Since the last review, LouCity has retained their spot at the top of the Central Division with a six-point lead. Following Mo

Louisville City has had some ups in downs in the latest stretch of games. Their most recent match ended in an uninspiring draw against a sub-par OKC Energy. While the playoffs are almost a certainty, the quest to win the regular-season crown may be close to out of reach. Regardless, Morados need to still win as much as possible to maintain a home-field advantage in the playoffs as long as possible. Unfortunately for LouCity, a rivalry match on the road isn’t exactly the ideal

Louisville City has been uncharacteristically mediocre when it comes to their last few match results. In the past five, they are 1-2-2, with the most recent result being a draw at OKC. A disappointing stretch for the perennial powerhouse. This will not be getting any easier for the boys in purple as their next challenge will be heading north to take on rival side, Indy Eleven. This will be the first Louisville-Indianapolis Proximity Association Football Contest in Indy in 202

Although the tough stretch of away matches continues to pile on, Louisville City has seemingly regained a little momentum lost after their previous few matches. A 4-2 win away at Hartford on short rest and on the national stage was exactly the kind of turnaround in fortune the squad needed. LouCity’s next road challenge, the OKC Energy, would see the two sides face off for a fourth and final time. The two July encounters ended in Louisville wins (07/14 and 07/31) and the most

Louisville City has entered the fall in an uncharacteristic slump. After a draw (at Energy) and two losses (vs Legion and Tulsa), the boys were starting to creep into desperation mode if they wanted to retain their hopes of winning the East and potentially the whole regular season. The last time Morados has a three-loss streak was in their inaugural season in 2015. Under pressure and on short rest, LouCity headed north to take on the Hartford Athletic in a rare match outside

A draw with Tulsa and a loss to the Legion has set an unfortunate tone as Louisville City enters the away-heavy latter half of the USL season. It’s not what you want to see for a team not only battling to win their division but the East and the league as a whole as well. The sole home fixture in September against FC Tulsa appeared to be the opportunity to course-correct before returning to the road. Although Tulsa is no pushover, LouCity could rely on the home field advantage

A draw and a loss in Louisville City’s last two matches are less than ideal for the club competing to not only secure their spot in the playoffs but also to win the title of best in the regular season. Coach Danny Cruz and the gang will have an opportunity to correct course with their only September match back at home on 09/03 against FC Tulsa. Their last meeting, also at Lynn Family Stadium, was a 2-1 win for City. However, the Roughnecks did get the better of LouCity earlie

Louisville City took advantage of the frequent home play in the first half of the season to put themselves in a good position for the away-heavy back end of the schedule. Given their early success, LouCity is in the conversation for winning the regular season, a feat they have not yet accomplished. With the playoffs almost essentially secured, every point needs to be secured to continue to pace with the likes of Phoenix Rising and El Paso Locomotive. The recent draw with the

Although Louisville City still sits in a very comfortable position on the table, it’s hard to ignore the stinker that was OKCvLOU. Thankfully, Morados has a big opportunity to move on from that lackluster match and capture some huge points on the road against the Birmingham Legion. It’s been a while since these two squads last faced off. LouCity drew with the Legion in the May encounter but captured all three points in the June match at Lynn Family Stadium. Points in Birmingh

Things have been going well for the purple team as of late. Over halfway through the season, Louisville City sits atop the Central Division and has a reasonable shot at winning the regular-season crown. With that said, the latter half of this USL season is fairly away-heavy for Morados and could slow their roll. For the first time in club history, LouCity hit the road and took on OKC in their house. Although City won the previous two encounters in Lynn Family Stadium, the Ene
