HARTFORD, CT (May 10) – Hartford Athletic earned a point at home in a 0-0 draw with Detroit City FC on Saturday night. It’s the third consecutive clean sheet in a row at home for Hartford who have taken seven points from those three matches.
It was a busy night for goalkeeper Antony Siaha who made six saves on the evening, many of them diving, highlight reel saves that kept the sheet clean. The six saves are the most in a game this season for the Tucson, AZ native, who rebounded nicely after conceding four times against Charleston Battery last weekend and earned CT Army National Guard Defensive Player of the Game honors.
Hartford got its best chance in the 80th minute. Emmanuel Samadia, streaking down the left flank, delivered a beautiful cross into the center of the box that failed to find a head. Mamadou Dieng, who came on as a substitute in replace of an injured Jack Panayotou in the first half, gathered the ball, took a touch and went for the upper left corner only to have it headed away by a Detroit defender. Hartford finished the game with ten shots, but only one on target.
Hartford Athletic returns home on Saturday, May 17th to take on Louisville City FC. Tickets are available at hartfordathletic.com/tickets.
