RICHMOND, Va. — (Saturday, August 29, 2020) — The Richmond Kickers (4-1-1) claimed their fourth-straight victory after a 2-1 win over the league leaders Greenville Triumph SC (5-2-1) at City Stadium Saturday night. Emiliano Terzaghi and Ryley Kraft scored the two goals in a second-straight match to cancel out Brandon Fricke’s goal for Greenville.

For the first seven minutes of tonight’s match, both Richmond and Greenville came together to recognize the fight for equality, diversity and inclusivity by using the time to honor the ongoing movement around social injustice and the need for positive change in our sport and in our society.

10 minutes into the match the Kickers nearly came away with an early lead. Luke Pavone played the ball to Matt Bolduc on the right wing. As he reached the endline, Bolduc whipped in a cross that grazed the head of Ryley Kraft, but the midfielder could not redirect it into the net.

Richmond would break through just five minutes later. Once again, it was Bolduc on the right wing. After shaking off his defender, Bolduc got into the box and just needed a simple touch to set the ball up for Emiliano Terzaghi to score his fifth goal in six matches.

Greenville would pull level in the 29th minute. Alex Morrell sent in a corner kick that found Brandon Fricke. He was able to get enough of a touch on the ball to hit the underside of the crossbar and there was nothing Akira Fitzgerald could do with it.

A goal line clearance from Ivan Magalhães prevented the visitors from scoring a second goal in the 35th minute. Noah Pilato won the ball on the left wing and quickly found Morrell. He looked for an early shot that caught Ftizgerald out in space as the keeper pushed it away. The ball fell to Carlos Gomez in the box. His shot was on frame but Magalhães was there to deny him.

Just before halftime, Ryley Kraft would get the Kickers back in control. Terzaghi tried for his second of the night, but his shot was blocked. The ball fell loose at the top of the box. Pavone would get on the ball, going for a shot catching the Triumph backline off guard. The shot hit off the post. With no one reacting, Kraft slipped through and put his shot inside the near post for his second goal in as many matches.

Continuing to pose a threat on the right wing, Bolduc nearly came up with his second assist of the night from a long range effort by Gianluca Cuomo. Exploiting the space, Bolduc once again got in behind the Greenville defense and laid the ball back for Cuomo. The second half sub stepped up and got a touch in for a shot that needed a massive save from Dallas Jaye.

Three minutes later, Cuomo would get a chance once again. This time Wahab Ackwei fed the ball to Cuomo in nearly the same spot. With power behind his shot, Jaye needed to once again come up with the save, diving to his left.

The Kickers would be reduced to 10 men for the final 16 minutes of the match. Ian Antley was issued a second yellow card after a challenge on Lachlan McLean.

The Kickers go on the road next Saturday night, traveling to face FC Tucson at Kino North Stadium. This match kicks off at 10:30 p.m. EDT. Catch the match live on WTVR CBS 6.3 (Comcast 206, Verizon FiOS 466) and streaming on ESPN+.

Preview: Kickers Return Home to City Stadium Saturday against Greenville

RICHMOND, Va. – (Friday, August 28, 2020) – The Richmond Kickers (3-1-1) return back home to City Stadium this Saturday night riding a four-match unbeaten streak as they host the league leaders Greenville Triumph SC (5-1-1) with the Bon Secours Cup on the line. Kickoff for this clash is set for 6:30 p.m. and will air live on WTVR CBS 6.3 (Comcast 206, Verizon FiOS 466) and streaming on ESPN+. A limited number of tickets are still available now at www.richmondkickers.com/Tickets.

The series between these two clubs is even at two wins apiece since this USL League One rivalry started last season. Greenville got the better of the Kickers earlier this season back on July 25 at Legacy Early College. Jake Keegan broke the stalemate in the 21st minute after a scramble in the box. 14 minutes later Matt Bolduc got the Kickers back into the match. An own goal and a second goal from Jake Keegan put the hosts in the lead. Emiliano Terzaghi scored his first goal with Richmond, but it would not be enough to salvage the draw on the road.

Richmond picked up their third-straight victory last Friday night at Gillette Stadium against New England Revolution II, 2-1. Despite the Kickers hitting the woodwork twice in the first half, both teams headed into halftime deadlocked in a scoreless draw. That stalemate was broken in the 54th minute when Matt Bolduc was able to slip the ball through for Emiliano Terzaghi to continue his form, scoring his fourth goal in five matches. A curling effort by Mayele Malango in the 71st minute pulled the home side level once again. However, 11 minutes later, Ian Antley dropped in a cross right to the back post as Ryley Kraft slid in to finish it off for the game-winner.

Greenville saw their six-match unbeaten run come to an end Wednesday night on the road against New England Revolution II. The teams came out of halftime looking for an opening goal after finishing the first half scoreless. In the 57th minute, Connor Pressley fed the ball up the right wing for Nicolas Firmino. Without pressure from the Triumph defense, Firmino worked his way into the box until he found the right space to lay the ball off for Ryo Shimazaki to run onto at the top of the box and put it past Dallas Jaye. That was the first goal the Triumph conceded since Terzaghi’s goal in the Kickers match at Greenville. Jaye ended the night with four saves, but it would not be enough as Revolution II claimed their first victory of the season.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — (Friday, August 21, 2020) — The Richmond Kickers (3-1-1) picked up their third-straight win Friday night, topping New England Revolution II (0-2-2) 2-1 at Gillette Stadium. Emiliano Terzaghi scored his fourth goal in five matches to open up the scoring in the 54th minute. Mayele Malango leveled it for New England in the 71st minute. 11 minutes later it was Ryley Kraft coming up with his first Kickers goal to seal the three points for Richmond.

Nine minutes into the match and the post denied the Kickers an opener. Emiliano Terzaghi won the ball inside the Richmond end of the field, pushing forward up the right flank. Mutaya Mwape had space on the left wing as Terzaghi switched up the play to the Zambian. He got to the endline and whipped in a cross to Luke Pavone on the six-yard box. His shot pinged off the post and was cleared away by New England.

Coming off a corner kick in the 12th minute, another near chance for the Kickers. Mwape played a short corner to Ryley Kraft, as he tried to play a cross in. Nicolas Firmino headed the ball out, right to the feet of Matt Bolduc. He moved quickly to float the ball into the far post to Pavone, as he mis-hit the ball and Revolution II could clear.

Another chance fell for Richmond from distance 15 minutes in. Bolduc controlled a pass from Pavone and quickly turned to Mwape on his left. He made a run towards the New England box. With no space for a shot, Mwape laid the ball off to Kraft. 20 yards from goal, Kraft let a shot rip that forced a save from Keegan Meyer.

The crossbar came to the rescue for Revolution II in the 25th minute. Mwape continued to control the left wing, this time cutting inside towards the New England box. A quick touch to his right got the ball to Kraft, who also played it quick ahead to Terzaghi. The Argentine found Bolduc to his right in space. He had the space and went for the shot that hit off the woodwork.

Pavone came close in the 51st minute. Mwape again finding the space on the right. He sent in a cross for Pavone to get a head on as he leaped in at the back post. The ball rose just high of goal, not missing by much.

Emiliano Terzaghi continued his hot streak to start the season, scoring the opener in the 54th minute. Scott Thomsen pounced on a loose ball to get it to Bolduc. The midfielder waited just enough to slide the ball through to Terzaghi, who made no mistake to find the back of the net for his fourth goal in five matches.

New England leveled the score in the 71st minute. Mayele Malango played a corner short on the left to Ryan Spauling. Malango made a run behind Spaulding to receive the ball. Getting into the Richmond box, Malango bent in a shot towards the far post for the tying goal.

Jonathan Bolanos came close to finding the go-ahead goal in the 77th minute. Bolduc controlled the ball in the center circle to get it up for Terzaghi. The Argentine chipped the ball forward for Bolanos. Shouldering off his defender, Bolanos was trying to go for a shot as Meyer slid out to deny the rookie.

Richmond jumped back out in front in the 82nd minute through a Ryley Kraft goal. Victor Falck simply played a pass to Ian Antley. He looked up and found Kraft primed for a far post run. Antley sent in a picture perfect ball that just needed Kraft to slide in to find the back of the net for the first time in a Kickers shirt.

RICHMOND, Va. — (Saturday, August 15, 2020) — The Richmond Kickers (2-1-1) picked up their second-straight win Saturday night at City Stadium, taking a 2-1 victory over FC Tucson (1-3-0). Ivan Magalhães scored his first goal for the Kickers after just seven minutes. Emiliano Terzaghi doubled the Richmond lead in the 42nd minute, scoring in his second-straight match. Tucson would get a consolation goal in the 82nd minute from Shak Adams.

Ivan Magalhães scored his first goal in a Richmond shirt after just seven minutes. Roberto Alarcon was whistled for a foul on Scott Thomsen, setting up a free kick opportunity for the Kickers on the edge of the Tucson box. Mutaya Mwape stepped up and dropped in a perfect ball for Magalhães at the penalty spot. He placed his header towards the inside of the post and out of the reach of Carlos Merancio to put the Kickers up 1-0.

Three minutes later, Akira Fitzgerald came up big for Richmond. Elivelton won the ball in the midfield and started a run from goal. He tried a long range effort to test the Richmond keeper, but Fitzgerald was quick to react for the save.

Richmond had a near scare in the 37th minute. Shak Adams broke free on the left wing. Going one on one with Kyle Venter, Adams looked to whip in a cross. The ball took an odd deflection off Venter, arching over Fitzgerald and the Kickers goal.

Just before halftime Richmond would double their lead through the team leading scorer, Emiliano Terzaghi. Scott Thomsen got to the endline to send in a cross for Luke Pavone inside the Tucson box. His shot was saved by a miraculous dive from Merancio. The ball rolled out for Matt Bolduc at the top of the box. He quickly found Ryley Kraft, who turned enough to slip the ball to Terzaghi, as the Argentine made no mistake finding the back of the net in his second-straight match and third time overall this season.

The Kickers nearly came away with a third goal in the 57th minute. From a corner kick, Kraft floated in a corner kick towards goal. Seeing it bend in on frame, Merancio needed to palm it away from danger. Instead the ball fell to the feet of Pavone at the back post. On a tough angle, he looked for a shot on frame as his shot skipped across the face of goal.

Tucson looked to pull a goal back in the 66th minute. Coming in off the bench, Azaadi Liadi controlled the ball on the right wing and quickly turned towards the Richmond goal. His shot went beyond the far post despite Fitzgerald covering the goal.

The visitors would find their goal in the 81st minute. Tommy Silva controlled the ball on the left side and squared a pass to Charlie Dennis sitting at the top of the 18. As he was making a run trying to find space, he poked the ball ahead to Shak Adams. He went for the quick shot, sliding it under Fitzgerald.

A last ditch save from Magalhães helped to prevent a second goal by Tucson. A cross came in from Darryl Longdon, picking out Silva in space inside the Richmond box. Magalhães came out quickly to shut down the chance right as Silva struck the ball.

The Kickers are back on the road next Thursday night, August 20 as they take the trip up to Gillette Stadium to face New England Revolution II. Kickoff is at 7:00 p.m. and will air live on WTVR CBS 6.3 and on ESPN+.
