Tampa Bay Rowdies (0W-1D-0L, 1 point) forward Georgi Hristov carried his hot form at the end of the Spring Season into the Fall Season opener, scoring his fourth goal of the year in a 1-1 draw with Jacksonville Armada FC. The draw stretched Tampa Bay’s unbeaten run to four games.

The Carolina RailHawks will want to erase their Fall Season opener from their minds after losing 5-1 to Minnesota United. Carolina has hit a rough patch after winning its first four games to start 2016. Forward Matt Fondy joined the club from Jacksonville, but missed the first game due to injury. Carolina (0-0-1, 0) will now hope to pick up momentum before playing Premier League side West Ham United FC in a midweek friendly.
