Rowdies cruise to first playoff victory
November 8, 2021 - The Tampa Bay Rowdies easily dispatched Tulsa FC in the first round of the United Soccer League playoffs Saturday night, winning by a score of 6 - 2. An enthusiastic crowd of 6,262 fans filled Al Lang Stadium for the match, an added boost for the team after capacity was reduced at the waterfront stadium due to the pandemic last postseason. The Rowdies secured home-field advantage throughout the playoffs and will now welcome the Birmingham Legion FC to downtown St. Petersburg for the Eastern Conference Semifinals on Saturday, Nov. 13.
