FC Tucson falls 2-1 to Forward Madison, drops to 2-5-1

Charlie Machell's first half goal wasn't enough for FC Tucson, which fell 2-1 to Forward Madison on a rainy Saturday night in Wisconsin.

Madison struck first, with Nazeem Bartman delivering a goal in the 29th minute. Twelve minutes later, FC Tucson's Machell delivered the equalizer, plucking Louis Perez's pass and tapping in a short goal.

Bartman assisted Abdou Mbacke Thiam for a 50th-minute game, a score that proved to be the difference in the match.
