May 29, 2022 – United Soccer League One (USL1) – Forward Madison FC News Release
The Flamingos looked to get off to a fast start and on the front foot by employing a high press in the Fuego half of the pitch. There were no real chances to speak of for the first 20′ of the match, with both teams feeling each other out. FMFC had two good chances at goal courtesy Abdou Mbacke-Thiam, but both were unable to find the back of the net. Mikey Maldonado created a golden opportunity in the 29′, dancing between two Fuego defenders, but his final pass was thwarted by the defense. The last chance of the half came in the 45′ with a free kick at the top of the Fuego box, but it flew wide right and out of play. The match went into halftime with a score of 0-0.
The start of the second half saw a flurry of corner kicks for Central Valley, but the FMFC defense stood tall to keep the match scoreless. Fuego was on the front foot for the first 20′ of the second half, creating chances in the FMFC half. While tested, the FMFC defense stood tall until the FMFC midfield and offense could string possession together. After chances for both teams, the Flamingos broke the deadlock in the 82′ with a beautiful free kick goal from Jeremiah Streng. The Flamingos lead didn’t last long as Fuego drew level off a set piece in the 90+3′. The match ended 1-1, with FMFC earning a hard-fought point on the road.
Next on the schedule, the Flamingos will take on FC Tucson at Breese Stevens Field on June 4th at 7pm. The Trek Pride Ride will happen prior to that match, beginning at 3pm. For more information on this, please head over to Forward Madison’s website.
