Tampa Bay forward Devin Del Do put the Rowdies up a goal in the 87th minute of play.  With the win, the RailHawks improve to first place in the NASL standings with only four matches remaining in the NASL Spring Season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTampa is a good team,\u201d said RailHawks head coach Colin Clarke. \u201cWe are delighted to earn the three points. The crowd has gone home happy, so we\u2019ll take it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Playing down a man, due to a 38th minute red card to defender Andres Arango, the Rowdies defense continued to frustrate the RailHawks through the first 90 minutes of play. Going into stoppage time, the Rowdies led 1-0 despite being outshot 20 to 7.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a very tough night,\u201d Clarke said. \u201cCredit to Tampa.  They defended very well and made it difficult on us in the attacking third.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Rowdies jumped on top when Del Do collected a bouncing goal kick that landed in the RailHawks box. RailHawks goalkeeper Akira Fitzgerald got a hand on Del Do\u2019s shot, but was unable to keep it out of the net.<\/p>\n<p>Although keeping most of the possession throughout the night, the RailHawks offense was kept at bay for 90 minutes. That was until an Austin da Luz cross connected with Elizondo in the 6-yard box. Elizondo out jumped the rushing Rowdies goalkeeper, Diego Restrepo, to nod home the equalizer and set the stage for another Shipalane last minute goal.  Only minutes later Shipalane received the ball at the edge of the Rowdies box.  He proceeded to beat one defender before releasing his shot that would earn the RailHawks the three points and the victory.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; News release<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once again, RailHawks midfielder Tiyi Shipalane came up with his late game magic to capture a 2-1 victory for the RailHawks (4W-3T-1L, 15pts) over the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[79],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-featured-stories","wpcat-79-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5804"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5804\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5807,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5804\/revisions\/5807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
