In the 2021 home finale, FC Monmouth was able to secure a crucial point with a 1-1 draw against in-state rival Atlantic City on June 18. Like the previous game against FC Motown, chances were at a premium in the first half. Atlantic City FC scored on their lone shot attempt to make the halftime score 1-0.

The game began to open up in the second half as both teams recorded shots at a faster pace. FC Monmouth was able to tie the game in the 64th minute, as forward Jacob Rubinstein intercepted a pass from the Atlantic City FC goalkeeper as he tried to clear the ball. Rubinstein immediately shot the ball upon receiving it, scoring his third goal of the season. The score remained 1-1 the rest of the way, with both teams having a solid scoring opportunity after the 90th minute.

FC Monmouth’s record now stands at 2-2-3, and the club sits in a position where they can make a run over their final three games to possibly clinch a playoff berth. That stretch is a historic one, as the club will begin a three-game road swing to end the regular season. It will mark the first time in club history that it will play three-straight road games.

The road trip begins with a stop to face West Chester United SC, who currently sits atop the Keystone Conference with a 6-1-0 record and 18 points.

They defeated Junior Lone Star 2-2 (4-3 on penalties) in the Keystone Semifinals to advance to their first ever conference championship game. Again, they went to penalties, but falling this time 4-3 at the hands of the eventual National Runner-Up FC Motown.
