SPOKANE, WA – The Tampa Bay Sun FC suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to the Spokane Zephyr on Sunday.
Despite a late surge of attacking pressure, including a dangerous free-kick from Erika Tymrak and a shot from Carlee Giammona, the Sun couldn’t find the back of the net. Late substitutions injected fresh energy into the team, yet the Zephyr defense held firm.
The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams creating quality scoring opportunities. A key moment came in the 67th minute when Carlee Giammona’s header was denied by the Spokane goalkeeper. However, it was the Zephyr who struck first in the 64th minute, with Marley Canales scoring her first goal of the season from outside the box.
Both teams battled hard throughout the match, with numerous fouls and yellow cards issued. The Sun will look to improve on finishing as the look to earn more points as the Fall season closes out.
