LOUISVILLE, Ky. - In a matchup of two of the USL's winningest clubs, USL Championship side Louisville City FC advanced to the Round of 32 with a 3-1 victory over Greenville Triumph SC. LouCity dominated from the start, as Sean Totsch scored 98 seconds into the contest. The USL Championship powerhouse led Greenville in a number of statistical categories and doubled its advantage through the USL Championship's leading scorer, Wilson Harris, four minutes into the second half. A stoppage-time goal from Greenville native and first-year professional Hayden Anderson pulled Triumph SC within one, but a late goal from Jorge González sealed victory for Louisville.
