“One team came to play with the intensity that’s required in this league, at a professional level and one team didn’t, it’s pretty simple,” said FC Tucson head coach Jon Pearlman.
Friday's match between the teams was postponed because of COVID-19 issues affecting the visiting Kickers. All tickets originally purchased for the match will be good for the makeup date.
