Well… I’m pretty sure LouCity didn’t underestimate Birmingham. They absolutely crushed them in this weekend’s match, burying them 6 feet under the turf at Lynn Family Stadium. 

Louisville City FC turned Lynn Family Stadium into a spectacle of soccer brilliance, cruising to a 5-0 victory over Birmingham Legion FC. This wasn’t just a win; it was a demonstration of LouCity’s firepower and a clear message to the rest of the USL Championship: LouCity is BACK!

Wilson Harris was the star of the show, yet again, netting home two goals and taking his tally to four goals in just three games. His knack for being at the right place at the right time was evident, and his second goal, off a Ray Serrano cross, was textbook finishing. I still can’t believe he is still in the USL, and no MLS or other big club has not picked him up yet. 

The goal fest started with Jake Morris, who volleyed in a beauty from a Taylor Davila cross, igniting the crowd and setting the tone. Davila wouldn’t be left off the scoresheet, adding his own goal later, showcasing the midfield’s attacking prowess.

Last week’s hero, Ray Serrano, was at it again, capping off the win with a late goal that had the fans on their feet. His contribution, week in and week out, is becoming a key ingredient in LouCity’s success recipe.

Behind the scenes of the goal extravaganza, goalkeeper Damian Las was like a wall, making pivotal saves to keep Birmingham at bay. His efforts ensured the team walked away with a clean sheet, complementing the offensive showcase.

LouCity’s attack was relentless, with the team converting with clinical efficiency. It’s this kind of performance that has the fans buzzing and the rest of the league on notice.

But amidst the celebrations, Coach Danny Cruz was quick to remind everyone that the job isn’t done yet. There’s no room for complacency, especially with a big showdown against Indy Eleven on the horizon, set to be broadcast on CBS. It’s a chance for LouCity to showcase its might to a national audience.

This win is more than just three points; it’s a statement. Louisville City FC isn’t just winning; they’re dazzling, and they’re doing it with style, flair, and a whole lot of goals. Fans are in for an electrifying season if this game is anything to go by. Next up, Indy Eleven – and if LouCity’s recent form is any indicator, it’s going to be a showdown worth watching.
