| Box Score MEMPHIS, Tenn. (Sept. 14, 2024) — An early red card put North Carolina FC in a hole in a 3-0 loss at Memphis 901 FC Saturday night at Autozone Park. North Carolina falls to 8-9-10 on the season with the loss and remains on 33 points through 27 matches. A nightmare start saw Justin Malou sent off in just the 3’ when he tangled with a Memphis attacker outside the NCFC box. Despite other NCFC players nearby, the referee deemed Malou the last defender and showed a harsh red just moments into the match. Memphis capitalized quickly, scoring at the quarter-hour mark to take the lead. Rodrigo Da Costa earned a free kick from 25 yards out straight away a few minutes later for a brilliant look at goal, but the strike rang off the post to keep NCFC at arms length. Marlon struck again in the 22’ off a feed from Dylan Borczak to double the Memphis lead. The home side added another insurance goal midway through the second half to pull away. |
