Puerto Rico FC withstood late pressure from the Tampa Bay Rowdies as the teams played to a scoreless draw at Juan Ramón Loubriel Stadium on Saturday night.

Puerto Rico FC (1-7-6, 10 Fall) came close in the 33rd minute when an inswinging free kick by Paulo Mendes from the left edge of penalty area rattled off the Tampa Bay  (3-4-6, 13 Fall; 7-8-8, 29 Combined) crossbar and out. It was PRFC’s best chance of the game.

The Rowdies pressed for a goal in the game’s waning moments, but a free kick from Joe Cole was deflected by the wall and the Puerto Rico defense was able to hold fast in the face of furious pressure. Both teams have played to draws in their last two games.
