The Fort Lauderdale Strikers left it late in their final game at Lockhart Stadium before finally breaking through for a 1-0 victory over Jacksonville Armada FC on Saturday night. The Strikers will play at Central Broward Stadium starting on Aug. 20.

Fort Lauderdale (1W-1D-4L, 4 points) dominated play in the second half, but had to wait until the 88th minute to put the ball behind Jacksonville (1-1-4, 4) goalkeeper Sean Lewis. Maicon Santos chested and turned on the ball, smashing it past Lewis with his left foot for the game-winner that ended the Strikers’ four-game losing streak. Jacksonville has now lost four straight
