Greenville Triumph SC cruised past Westchester SC 4–2 at home on Sunday, with Azaad Liadi scoring twice and Rodrigo Robles and Deshane Beckford also finding the net in a dominant first-half display that proved too much for the visitors to overcome.
Greenville took control midway through the first half. Liadi opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, finishing from a Deshane Beckford feed to put the hosts ahead. Eleven minutes later, Robles doubled the lead, converting a chance set up by Liadi. Beckford then got on the scoresheet himself before halftime, turning in a Lucas Meek delivery in the 41st minute to make it 3–0 at the break. Westchester picked up two bookings in that opening period, Dean Guezen cautioned in the 35th minute and the visitors visibly frustrated by Greenville's rhythm.
The second half followed a similar early script. Liadi grabbed his second of the night in the 59th minute to stretch the advantage to four. At that point, the game looked well and truly over.
Westchester, to their credit, responded quickly. Ermin Mackic pulled one back in the 63rd minute from a Bryan Vasquez assist, and just five minutes later Conor McGlynn made it 4–2, finishing off a Daniel Burko pass. The visitors' comeback push generated some late tension, but Greenville held firm through a scrappy final stretch that saw yellow cards pile up — Westchester collected four bookings across the second half and into stoppage time.
The win gives Greenville Triumph SC an emphatic early-season statement in USL League One, while Westchester will need to address a first-half defensive fragility that left them chasing a game they never truly threatened to salvage.
