One Knoxville SC and Chattanooga Red Wolves SC shared the points in a 1–1 USL League One draw on Wednesday night, with Denis Krioutchenkov's second-half opener cancelled out by a stoppage-time equalizer from Matthew Bentley.
The first half produced few clear-cut moments but plenty of needle. Chattanooga's Matthew Acosta was cautioned in the 39th minute, and teammate Yanis Lelin followed him into the book on 55 minutes as the Tennessee derby heated up.
One Knoxville's Nicola Rosamilia picked up a yellow of his own in the 69th minute, but the home side channeled any frustration into the attack just two minutes later. Jaheim Brown picked out Krioutchenkov, who finished clinically to give Knoxville a 1–0 lead in the 71st minute.
From there, One Knoxville looked set to hold on and claim all three points. Chattanooga pushed numbers forward as regulation time ticked away but struggled to create meaningful chances — until the dying seconds. Bentley struck in the 90th minute to rescue a point for the Red Wolves, sending the visiting contingent into celebration and leaving the home crowd deflated after what had seemed a comfortable closing stretch.
