Two of the top three attacks in the USL Championship squared off at Weidner Field on Friday night.

The host Colorado Switchbacks FC, third in team goals with 23, took on Louisville City FC, second in the league with 28, in the first-ever match between the clubs.

The chippy match, played in front of 6,488, ended in a 1-1 draw thanks to Michee Ngalina’s fourth goal of the season in the 88th minute that knotted things at 1 apiece.

Heading north to south, Ngalina raced at the Louisville defense and blasted shot past Louisville goalkeeper Chris Hubbard, who got a hand on it as he dived to his left. Ngalina celebrated by doing several back-flips to the delight of the Switchbacks faithful.

Louisville’s Antoine Hoppenot provided the game’s first goal when he fired a shot past Switchbacks goalkeeper Abe Rodriguez in the 75th minute.

The game was delayed nearly two hours by several lightning strikes in the immediate area.

There were nine combined yellow cards issued, including one to Switchbacks coach Brendan Burke at the start of stoppage time.
