Recap: Greene means go for Loudoun in 1-0 win

Loudoun United seem to have a short history in Memphis where the D.C. United Academy players play a part in the outcome. The last time the team was here in 2019, Griffin Yow scored the first goal in team history en route to a 1-1 draw, and Wednesday night, a second-half goal from Jacob Greene was the only mark on the scoreboard in a 1-0 Loudoun win over Memphis 901 FC in front of 3,001 at AutoZone Park. The win was the second in the Red-and-White’s last three games.

The only starting lineup change from Ryan Martin’s side that won 3-1 against Atlanta United 2 last week was the return of Kristian Fletcher. Jeremy Garay, Jacob Greene, Gaoussou Samaké and Hayden Sargis started from D.C. United, with Sargis playing right back and Greene left midfield (both out of their traditional position, as was Nicky Downs, playing center back next to Jalen Robinson. Academy player Gavin Turner was on the bench with Abdellatif Aboukoura, while Academy alum Dane Jacomen backed up Luis Zamudio.

Tyler Freeman tested the Memphis defense early:

And Greene scored his second of the year early in the second half:

Luis Zamudio made nine saves en route to his sixth clean sheet of the season, including these:

Loudoun (7-16-3, 24 pts) return home to Segra Field to host the Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC on Sunday, September 4 at 7:30 pm.

Highlights will be added when they are available.
