RICHMOND, Va. – South Georgia Tormenta FC put on a fight this Wednesday night against the Richmond Kickers but ultimately fell to the home side 3-1 despite an early goal from Adrian Billhardt.

After dribbling through the opponents’ defensive line, Akale was taken down inside the box making it easy for the referee to call the decision. An inspired Billhardt stood up to the occasion, and without hesitation, Billhardt delivered with a powerful strike to the opposing keeper’s left side.
In the second half, Richmond were able to find three goals to give them the lead and ultimately the victory.
