May 6, 2022 – United Soccer League Championship (USL) – Memphis 901 FC News Release
Charleston, SC. – Memphis 901 FC dominated in all facets of a 2-0 win at Charleston Battery on Friday night in Charleston, South Carolina.
Memphis went ahead in the 32nd minute on a goal from Luiz Fernando, his first goal of the season. Just eight minutes later, Jeremy Kelly netted his third goal of 2022 for the final tally.
In the game, Memphis registered 10 more total shots than Charleston (18-8) and allowed just one shot on goal. The lone Charleston shot came shortly after a Memphis red card and was saved beautifully by goalie Andrew Romig.
