Charleston Battery, Rhode Island Play to Scoreless Draw in Chippy Contest

CHARLESTON, S.C. (Interstat) — The Charleston Battery and Rhode Island played to a 0-0 draw in a USL Championship match Sunday at Patriots Point Soccer Complex. The game, which saw six yellow cards and two red cards issued, failed to live up to its offensive projections after Interstat’s game simulator had projected a 1-1 final.

The match turned chaotic in second-half stoppage time when Rhode Island’s Houssou Landry and Charleston substitute Jojea Kwizera were both sent off with red cards in the 90+6 minute. The defensive stalemate leaves both teams with an 0-0-1 record to start their league campaigns.
