Round Lake Evolution FC heads into its final regular season match with everything on the line.
After a narrow 2-1 defeat on the road to conference leaders KS Wisloka Chicago, the Evo remain in fourth place with 16 points — holding onto the final playoff spot by just two points over a surging TBD FC. The math is simple: a win guarantees Evolution a postseason berth. Anything less, and the door is open for elimination.
TBD FC, unbeaten in their last five, come into Round Lake with momentum and motivation. A win for the visitors would leapfrog them into fourth place, knocking Evo out of the playoff picture. But Round Lake holds the advantage of home turf, fan support, and a roster filled with local pride and proven talent.
Midfielder Luis Avilés, who scored in last week’s loss, continues to be a key figure in Evolution’s attack, while newcomers like Eliam Mier add depth and urgency to a midfield group that’s shown grit all season.
Head Coach Lorenzo Cortez has been clear about the mindset:
“We’re not here to hope for playoffs. We’re here to take them.”
This isn’t just another league match — it’s a final. The winner advances. The loser watches from home. With local pride, a playoff spot, and the season on the line, Saturday night promises intensity from the opening whistle.
Don’t miss the most important match in club history to date. Bring the energy. Wear red and black. And make your voice heard.
Win = Clinch playoffs (19 pts)
Draw = Most likely in (17 pts), TBD stays at 15
Loss = Out (TBD advances with 17 pts)

Round Lake Evolution FC heads to Chicago for a massive UPSL Matchday 9 clash against division leaders KS Wisloka Chicago.
Wisloka sits top of the table with 21 points and a near-perfect record. But Evo is right behind, tied for third with 16 points — and fully locked in after a gritty 1–0 win over Black Cat FC last weekend.
With the top four advancing to the playoffs, and only two matchdays left, this could be a season-defining result for both clubs.
🗣 "We respect them, but we’re not here to back down. We're here to fight for Round Lake," said assistant coach Milton Carranza.
Wisloka (21 pts): Win locks up first place
Evolution (16 pts): A win could vault them to second depending on other results
Bavarian & TBD FC are breathing down the neck — every goal, every point matters
Xavier Brown – Athletic, composed, and hungry in the final third
Jose Perez – Fresh from Wake Forest, brings D1 energy and leadership
Evo Backline – Coming off a clean sheet vs one of the league’s top offenses

📍 Lions for Hope Sports Complex, Chicago
🎟️ Entry: $8
Round Lake Evolution FC is back in action for Matchday 7 in a unique setting — a home match being hosted away from home. Originally scheduled at Round Lake High School, this matchup had to be relocated due to a track event conflict. In a show of sportsmanship and flexibility, United SC has opened their doors, allowing Evo to host at the Lions for Hope Sports Complex in Chicago.
Currently sitting in 5th place with 10 points, Evo is just three points away from a top-three spot and has a game in hand. A win here could be pivotal in tightening the playoff race. United SC, meanwhile, sits just behind in 6th place with 9 points, making this a true six-pointer.
Last weekend, Round Lake Evolution secured a gutsy 2-1 comeback win over Chicago Nation, featuring a highlight-reel scissor kick from Morais Lee and a clinical finish from Jesse Anamoo. The squad comes into this fixture with renewed energy and focus.
United SC is a dangerous side with 15 goals scored this season but also a leaky backline, conceding 16. Evo’s discipline in the midfield and sharpness on counters could prove the difference.

Chicago Nation FC 1 - 2 Round Lake Evolution FC
Round Lake Evolution FC pulled off a thrilling comeback win on the road against rivals Chicago Nation FC in Matchday 6 of the UPSL Midwest Central North Division. The 2-1 victory at the College of DuPage Stadium on May 10, 2025, was packed with drama, grit, and two unforgettable second-half goals.
The first half saw Chicago Nation take the lead, going into halftime with a 1-0 advantage. But the Evo came out of the break with purpose and fire.
Just one minute into the second half, Morais Lee stunned the crowd with an outrageous scissor kick from outside the box that ripped into the net to level the score 1-1. It was a momentum-shifting goal that energized the entire squad.
The match-winner came in the 63rd minute, and it was all about hustle. A misplayed back pass to Chicago Nation’s goalkeeper turned into a disaster under pressure from Oscar Hernandez Campa, who forced a turnover. Jesse Anamoo was there to pounce and slotted it home with confidence to make it 2-1.
While the attack delivered, credit must also go to Evo goalkeeper Jerry Perez, who came up with several clutch saves to preserve the win in the closing moments.
Head Coach Lorenzo Cortez praised the response: "Going down a goal on the road isn’t easy, but the guys showed belief and executed when it mattered most. That scissor kick by Morais changed everything."
Assistant Coach Milton Carranza added, "It wasn’t just the goals—it was the fight. Oscar pressing, Jesse finishing, Jerry locking it down—everyone stepped up."
With this victory, Round Lake Evolution FC continues to climb the table and assert themselves as one of the most dangerous teams in the division.
Matchday 7 is next as Evo returns home to host United SC. Let’s keep the momentum going.

MATCHDAY 2 RECAP: Evolution and Berber City Share the Points in Late Drama
