Jacksonville Armada FC and Puerto Rico FC are both coming off 1-1 draws in their Fall Season openers. Goalkeeper Sean Lewis made his NASL debut and turned in a tremendous performance, stopping 10 shots in the game against the Tampa Bay Rowdies. Back at home, several players could potentially make their debuts after the club recently acquired Swedish pair Alexander Andersson and Nicklas Maripuu as well as Jason Plumhoff. All three signings were brought in to bolster the Armada FC’s attack. Jacksonville (0W-1D-0L, 1 point) has drawn its last four games.

Puerto Rico FC (0-1-0, 1) was moments away from a debut win last Saturday, but the club had to settle for a point after Spring Season Champion Indy Eleven scored a late equalizer to spoil what would have been a dream result in professional soccer’s return to the Caribbean island. Puerto Rican international Héctor Ramos notched the first goal in club history, and now it heads on the road in search of its first ever win.
