FORT LAUDERDALE, Fl. – South Georgia Tormenta FC impressed with both their football and kits tonight in one of the biggest tests in club history, the Fourth Round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Battling against Major League Soccer’s Inter Miami CF, Tormenta FC came out two goals shy with a final score of 1-3.
