| 65’ Tyler Hemming (PK) |
Tyler Hemming converted a penalty kick in the 65th minute to send the Charleston Battery to the Third Round of the US Open Cup with a 1-0 win over Miami FC.
The Battery got running out of the gate early with a couple of chances. Hemming had a 30-yard shot sail wide in the 15th minute, and then a cross in the 21st minute fell to defender Matt Bobo, whose shot also went wide. Miami got its own chances in the game, with a shot from Diego Serna in the 35th minute and one from Edwin Miranda in the 52nd, with both shots missing off target.
In the 65th minute, Miami defender Cristiano Dias fouled Battery midfielder Chris Williams in the box, which earned a penalty kick for Charleston. Hemming converted a right-footed shot to score the only goal of the match.
The Charleston Battery move on to the Third Round, where they will play Major League Soccer’s Chivas USA at Blackbaud Stadium on Tuesday, June 30.
