STATS CORNER | Stepping Up In Goal

Goalkeeper Nathan Ingham has been insrted into the FC Edmonton lineup and the shot-stopper hasn't looked back. He's made a number of key saves, several of them in spectaular fashion, for the Eddies. Ingham's form has been at the top of the league since stepping in between the goal posts. 

Key stats heading into Week 15 are below: 

Dueling

The San Francisco Deltas were able to defeat FC Edmonton for a third time by the score of 1-0 in Week 14. One of the reasons why was the defensive efforts by Jackson. He won 13 duels in the contest, which is the second most won by a player in a game this year. Only Gerardo Torrado’s 14 in a matchup with Jacksonville Armada FC betters Jackson’s effort.

Stellar Goalkeeping

FC Edmonton head coach Colin Miller made the decision to put his young shot-stopper in goal ahead of the club’s 4-2 win against the New York Cosmos. Ingham also saved a penalty kick in that game. While the Eddies haven’t won as many games as they’d like over the recent run of games, Ingham’s effort cannot be faulted. He was tied for the most saves in the month of June with Brian Sylvestre at 19. The Canadian goalkeeper has been averaging 4.8 saves a game. In his most recent contest, he made eight saves in the loss to the Deltas, including an incredible triple save. The only blemish was an own goal early in the game.

Attempting To Break The Deadlock

Miami FC visits North Carolina FC with a chance to claim the Spring title. A win on Tuesday night would give clinch the club’s first piece of silverware. While Miami is on a 14-game unbeaten run in all competitions, a matchup with North Carolina will still prove tricky. The clubs have drawn four of their past five meetings. In 2017, both games have ended with the score at 1-1. Miami is looking to ride its momentum from its recent Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup win over Atlanta United of Major League Soccer to another win.
