The Fort Lauderdale Strikers continued to battle and overturned an early Jacksonville Armada FC lead to earn a 1-1 draw.

Jacksonville (1W-1D-1L, 4 points) jumped in front when Matt Bahner connected with a header at the back post that just made its way over the line in the 16^th minute from Richie Ryan’s cross.

The Strikers (0-2-1, 2) would go down a man for the second match in a row when Jean Alexandre was sent off with a second yellow card in the 55^th minute. Playing with 10 men, though, didn’t deter the home side.

Jose Angulo provided a great individual effort with several cuts on the right wing to create space to whip in a cross and Maicon Santos nodded in the equalizer with just over 15 minutes left to play.

The Armada FC is still yet to earn a road win in club history.
