PITTSBURGH (September 25, 2018) – Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC (14-4-11) kicks off a two-game road swing this week with a trip to Harrisburg on Wednesday to take on Penn FC (9-13-8) in the Keystone Derby Cup, presented by K&L Gates and the Pennsylvania Lottery.
Set for a 6:30 p.m. kick at FNB Field, the match presents a winner-take-all scenario for the two sides after they drew nil-nil in the first two head-to-head meetings this season.
In addition to defending their Keystone Derby title, the Hounds have the opportunity to clinch their first playoff berth since the 2015 season with a victory tomorrow night. The club can also earn a postseason trip regardless of result if Atlanta United 2 is able to defeat Nashville at home.
Fans hoping to catch Wednesday’s match can stream live on ESPN+ with a subscription, while up-to-the-minute stats can be found on USL Match Center. In addition, fans are also welcome to listen to Hounds play-by-play guy Matt Gajtka, who will be on site, call the game live via a radio feed on the club’s Facebook page.
