The Tampa Bay Rowdies and Jacksonville Armada started the Fall Season exactly how they finished the Spring: with a 1-1 draw. 

The goals came quickly in the game’s first 15 minutes. First, Jacksonville's (0W-1D-0L, 1 point) on loan midfielder Zach Steinberger converted a pass from Mechack Jérôme in the 12th minute at Al Lang Stadium in St. Petersburg, Fla. Then, almost from the ensuing kickoff, Tampa Bay (0-1-0, 1) equalized one minute later when Georgi Hristov scored his fourth goal of the year from a pass by Darnell King.

Armada FC goalkeeper Sean Lewis, making his first start, made 10 saves to help Jacksonville earn a point on the road.
