2017 Playoffs: Wildcard Recap

The mid-week Wildcard match-up between Hawaii and the Gold Coast was a low scoring nail bitter. Sebastian Giovinco got the scoring started with an impressive set piece goal to give the Islanders the 1-0 lead, but minutes later Jozy Altidore would equalize for the Suns. Then, in the nightcap Nicolas Loderio would be the hero with a PK goal that would prove to be the game winner and advance Gold Coast FC into the Semi-Finals for the third time in club history (2011 and 2015 previous). The turnaround will be short for the Suns as the Semi-Finals begin tomorrow versus Capital District.
