LOUISVILLE, Ky. — After playing to a draw last month, Louisville City FC got another crack at the Birmingham Legion Wednesday night.

Cameron Lancaster scored the first goal of the game with a penalty kick and the score would stay at 1-0 through the half. A goal in the second half by Napo Matsoso secured the team's win. Louisville City FC beat Birmingham 2-0.

This is the first time Louisville City FC has won back-to-back games this season. With three games scheduled within the same week, Head Coach Danny Cruz said his team held up well, even with several lineup changes.

"That is the definition of a team: when you can make those changes, still perform well and still win a game," Cruz said.

Louisville City FC's next game is this Saturday against FC Tulsa. The game is set to kick off at 8 p.m.
