The Chattanooga Football Club has played a game every four days since the beginning of the season. 

The season began with trip to Conyers, GA and a 6-0 rubbing of the Georgia Revolution on May 9.

They opened the US Open Cup with a penalty kick win over visiting Ocala on May 13.

Then a another regular season game at Altanta Silverback Reserves on May 16 which they battled for a 1-0 win.

This past Wednesday, they played their second round US Open Cup game on the road at the USL's Wilmington Hammerheads.

The Hammerhead scored on a penalty kick in the 35th minute to take a 1-0 lead.

Chattanooga's Chris Ochieng tied the match in the second half and the game went to four overtime periods before moving to penalty kicks.
