Soccer gets its turn to shine under the bright lights of Friday night. Dayton Dutch Lions FC hosts Oakland County FC at DOC Stadium in a USL League Two regular season game on Friday July 2 at 7pm.
This is the second and final meeting between the Dutch Lions FC [0-9-1] and Oakland County FC [4-3-3] this season. It appeared that Oakland County FC would run away with the first result, but a pair of second-half goals by Vincent Stans preserved a respectable scoreline. In the end, the Lions lost 3-2.
However, for the first time this season, the Dutch Lions FC enter a home match with a bit of momentum. Dayton earned its first point of the season with a 2-2 draw on the road at Fort Wayne last Sunday. Plus, the Dutch Lions FC jumped out to a 1-0 in Cincinnati on Wednesday evening against Kings Hammer, before thunderstorms caused the match to be suspended in the 38th minute.
Dayton has been cropped from the USL2 playoff picture, but the recent swing in momentum could help the Dutch Lions FC spoil any postseason aspirations for Oakland County.
