BRADENTON, Fla. — Day Two of the 2025 USL Academy Finals delivered high-energy battles, momentum swings, and standout celebrations as four clubs punched their ticket to Saturday’s Semifinals.

Indy Eleven 3, Richmond Kickers 0

In a meeting between two of the most consistent academy systems in the USL, Indy Eleven controlled the attacking tempo from start to finish. Goals from Adan Robles, Edin Cvorovic, and Franklin Pavon

Caceres powered Indy to its second straight 3–0 victory of the tournament.

Orange County SC 1, Utah Red Wolves SC 1

Utah Red Wolves win 4–2 on penalties

The Utah Red Wolves struck early behind a composed finish from Noah Heil, but a late equalizer from Cheick Kone sent the game into extra time and eventually to penalties. Utah’s Kai Spencer came up with a crucial save, and Tyler Jordan buried the deciding kick to send the Red Wolves into the Semifinals.

Sporting JAX 2, AC Connecticut 3

Sporting JAX opened the match in top gear, jumping out to a two-goal advantage with finishes from Ethan Underwood and Daniel Moreno. AC Connecticut quickly responded, leveling the match with back-to-back goals from Nick Santana. In the closing stages, Mikey Asare capitalized on a rebound in the box to secure the comeback win for AC Connecticut.

Lexington SC 5, City SC San Diego 2

A high-tempo matchup between Lexington SC and City SC San Diego showcased plenty of attacking quality. Despite a brace from Kelly Takara, it was Lexington’s firepower that proved decisive. Goals from Felipe Valencia, Vasyl Soloschuk, Joshua Barnett, and a brace from Luca Sowinski pushed the Kentucky side comfortably into the next round with a 5–2 result.
