Fuego FC wasted no time making a statement in their home opener, securing a commanding 2-0 victory over Albion SC in front of a sold-out crowd. From the opening whistle, Fuego dictated the tempo, pressing high and suffocating any attempt from Albion to settle into the match. The energy in the stands matched the intensity on the pitch as Fuego put on a show for their home fans.
The breakthrough came in the 21st minute when David Kambaya’s cross forced a defensive mishap, landing perfectly for Julio Moran. Without hesitation, Moran buried his shot, sending the crowd into celebration. Fuego kept the pressure on, and in the 36th minute, midfield maestro Kevin Garcia split the Albion defense with a perfectly weighted pass to Sebastien Limon, who calmly slotted home the second goal.
The second half saw more of the same—Fuego in control, dictating possession, and shutting down Albion’s attack. Moran and Garcia continued pulling the strings in midfield, while the defense held firm. In the 78th minute, Christian Silva came close to adding a third, but his shot rolled just wide.
Goalkeeper Veliz sealed the clean sheet with a clutch diving save in the 82nd minute, ensuring Fuego walked away with all three points. As the final whistle sounded, the home crowd erupted—Fuego’s season had begun with a statement win.
With momentum on their side, Fuego now turns its focus to next Sunday’s clash against Iron Rose FC. If this opener was any indication, they’re just getting started.
Final Score:
⚽ Fuego FC 2-0 Albion SC
