Boise secured a 2:3 victory over Chattanooga Red Wolves in the U.S. League One group stage on 29 August 2026. The result moves the visitors into sixth place with 38 points, while the hosts remain seventh on 32 points after 21 games. To be fair, this was never a match that looked settled until the final quarter.
T. Moshobane opened the scoring in the twenty-sixth minute, and Chattanooga held that advantage for a while. The visitors levelled through O. Hernandez from the penalty spot in the fifty-first minute, then Y. Lelin put them ahead with a goal in the fifty-sixth. And here's the thing — the home side responded immediately when N. Moon scored in the seventy-first minute.
Boise recovered their lead in the eighty-first minute through T. Amang, and that proved to be the decisive moment. There were substitutions throughout the second half, with both managers trying to find answers. Chattanooga brought on J. Ricketts in the eighty-sixth minute, but the game was already slipping away.
The statistics tell a straightforward story. Chattanooga had 46 per cent possession and registered three shots on target from nine attempts, while Boise enjoyed 54 per cent possession and hit the target six times from ten shots. Both sides created roughly the same number of attacks — 96 for the hosts, 95 for the visitors — but the visitors were more clinical.
By then, the table position reflected what the match had shown. Boise had 38 points from 23 games and were two places above Chattanooga, who sat on 32 points after 21 matches. The visitors had also won more games, with 11 victories compared to the hosts' 10.
