The City Islanders won a second game in a row on Saturday night when they defeated Bethlehem Steel FC 3-2 thanks to a late winner by Cardel Benbow.
Harrisburg had taken a two-goal lead against its in-state rival, only for Bethlehem to level things in the second half before Benbow’s 89th-minute goal proved decisive.
Aaron Wheeler and Paul Wilson notched their first goals of the season against Steel FC, while Pedro Ribeiro had an assist in his return to the City Islanders lineup.
Ribeiro will go up against some familiar faces on Tuesday night after having spent the past two seasons in MLS with Orlando City SC before joining Harrisburg this season.
