The AFC Ann Arbor men will have their final home game of the regular USL League Two season against Midwest United on Wednesday, July 13 at 7:30 pm. Currently placed second in the Great Lakes Division table, the men look to finish the two-month-long campaign positively and aim for a playoff spot.
AFCAA were only able to earn one point from two crucial away games last Friday and Sunday. Two late goals from Flint City Bucks took Ann Arbor’s points away at Atwood Stadium, allowing the Bucks to enter the playoff battle. Late drama from Sunday’s Kalamazoo FC game gave the men hope in making it to the postseason, as Sean Kerrigan’s extra-time goal leveled the game, 2-2.
The Mighty Oak men return to Hornet Stadium after two weeks. Their last home game was against Lansing City Football back on July 2, which ended in one apiece. AFCAA have garnered positive results in the last two games against Midwest United, toppling the Grand Rapids side 5-1 away and 4-1 home.
AFCAA hold 22 points in their account, one point ahead of the third-placed Bucks. Having played one more game than the Flint side, a win would put the men four points ahead of Flint, but would still not ensure a playoff ticket if the Bucks earn at least four points in their last two games.
