Fresno, CA – Central Valley Fuego FC capped off Fan Appreciation Night with a thrilling 1-0 victory over Greenville Triumph SC at Fresno State Soccer Stadium. The match was tightly contested, but Fuego’s determination shone through in the final stages, securing a well-deserved win for the home side.
The game saw intense action from both teams, with Fuego asserting dominance early. However, their aggression led to a couple of yellow cards, with José Carrera-García and Zion Scarlett both cautioned for reckless offenses in the first half.
