BOISE (Interstat) — Boise scored once in each half and kept One Knoxville off the scoreboard on Sunday, earning a 2-0 home victory in the global football match. Tumi Moshobane put Boise ahead in the 37th minute, and Jesus Barea added a goal in second-half stoppage time as Boise protected its home ground and extended its strong start to the competition. One Knoxville threatened in spells but could not convert, leaving the visitors with a shutout loss. The result lifted Boise to 4-0 in the competition and across all competitions, while One Knoxville fell to 1-2 in the competition and overall. Boise had entered the match after wins in its previous three matches, and the home side maintained that momentum with a disciplined attacking display. Boise had beaten Fort Wayne, AV Alta FC and Portland Hearts of Pine in its prior matches, while One Knoxville had defeated New York Cosmos and lost to Spokane Velocity. One Knoxville, which had split its previous two matches, could not find a response after falling behind before halftime.

Moshobane’s opener came after a patient buildup and gave Boise the lead midway through the first half. Nick Moon was central to Boise’s attacking work and finished with two assists, setting up both goals. Moshobane’s finish made the home side’s pressure count, and Boise carried the advantage into the interval. One Knoxville tried to raise its tempo after the break, but Boise’s back line and midfield limited clear chances. One Knoxville’s best spells came after halftime, but the visitors could not turn possession into a goal. Moon’s second assist arrived late, when Barea scored in the second minute of second-half stoppage time to seal the result. Barea’s goal capped a match in which Boise created the more decisive moments and made its advantage stand.

Discipline shaped parts of the contest. One Knoxville’s Goling was booked in the 22nd minute, and Boise’s Kostyshyn received a yellow card in the 54th. One Knoxville’s Baker was cautioned in the 58th, Boise’s Bodily in the 76th, Barea in the third minute of second-half stoppage time and One Knoxville’s Zarokostas in the sixth minute of stoppage time. Boise made substitutions in the 63rd and 90th minutes plus stoppage time, while One Knoxville adjusted at the 46th, 62nd, 68th and 90th minutes. The cards interrupted the flow but did not change the central pattern: Boise held the lead after Moshobane’s first-half goal and protected it until Barea’s late finish. The match grew increasingly physical as the second half wore on, though neither side lost a player to a second booking.

Barea’s late goal completed the scoring and gave Boise a fourth win in as many matches in the competition and across all competitions. Moon’s two assists and Moshobane’s first-half goal were the key attacking contributions, while Barea’s goal and yellow card rounded out the most influential individual stat lines. Boise’s clean sheet followed a run of wins and kept the home side unbeaten. One Knoxville’s record in the competition and overall moved to one win and two losses after a match in which the visitors were unable to score. The defeat left One Knoxville still searching for consistency after its earlier results, while Boise continued to build on its recent form. Boise’s victory came without any need for a late comeback, as the home side led from the 37th minute and added insurance at the end. The visitors pressed in the second half but were kept out by Boise’s defensive shape and unable to cut into the lead.
