Fort Lauderdale United FC and Tampa Bay Sun FC played out a goalless draw in the USL Super League on Friday night, with neither side able to find a breakthrough across 90 minutes.
The first half was a scrappy affair. Tempers flared midway through, with Tampa Bay's Brooke Hendrix picking up a yellow card in the 31st minute before Fort Lauderdale's Grace Cutler was booked two minutes later. The Sun FC's discipline problems continued when Sydny Nasello went into the referee's notebook in the 43rd minute, meaning Tampa Bay picked up two cautions before the break. Despite the friction, clear-cut chances remained scarce, and the teams headed into halftime locked at 0-0.
The second half failed to produce the spark either side needed. Fort Lauderdale, playing at home, could not capitalize on Tampa Bay's card trouble, and the visitors showed enough defensive resolve to keep things level. Neither team managed to put the ball in the net, and the match ended as it started — square.
A point apiece does little to shift the momentum for either club as the USL Super League season pushes deeper into the fall stretch.
