Monterey Bay Takes to the Skies for Fixture with Miami FC

MIAMI, Florida (Friday, August 30, 2024) – Monterey Bay F.C. (7-11-7, 28 points) travels to Florida for a 4:00 p.m. PT fixture Saturday against Miami FC (2-21-2, 8 points) at FIU Pitbull Stadium in Week 26 of the 2024 USL Championship regular season. Live streaming of the match will be available on ESPN+.

Monterey Bay is making just its second-ever trip out to Miami this weekend and will look to take advantage of a Miami FC team that has struggled for form all season long. For Monterey Bay, a demonstrative win away from home in Miami could kindle a necessary run of wins needed for the Crisp-and-Kelp to remain in the playoff conversation. On the other hand for Miami FC, a win would snap both its current nine-match losing streak and its current run of 17 matches without a win overall.

In the previous meeting between Monterey Bay and Miami FC, the Union lit up the Cardinale Stadium crowd with an incredible match-winning sequence; Antony Siaha saved a penalty and then immediately sparked a counter that ended with a goal by Christian Volesky in all of 15 seconds. In just a quarter of a minute, the moment turned from those in attendance bracing for a 1-0 deficit to an uproar of celebration over a sudden 1-0 lead. Prior to that, the sides played to a scoreless draw in the inaugural contest between the two clubs in Miami.
