Kingston Stockade FC Keeps Rolling with 3-0 Rout of Boston City FC, Increases Unbeaten Streak into Double Digits

By Kingston Stockade FC

Stockade FC reached their 10th consecutive match unbeaten with Saturday evening’s 3-0 defeat of Boston City FC in front of 1,037 supporters at Dietz Stadium.

Alejandro Riquelme started the scoring in the sixth minute with a one-time rocket on the bounce after a stunning 50-yard driven ball from Joao Avila.  The goal was Riquelme’s fifth of the NPSL season. 

“Riquelme’s play has been fantastic for us this season,” said Kingston Stockade FC Technical Director Dan Hoffay. “He has scored some big goals for us in big moments.”

Play stabilized for the remainder of the first half on a hot evening as both teams struggled to find a rhythm in possession.  Stockade FC began to build more quality attacking chances in the second half as they controlled the majority of the possession.  Justin Jaime made an immediate impact off the bench when he doubled the lead in the 66th minute of play after Frankie Ljucovic and Pedro Espindola combined to send him through on goal.  The Stockade attacking reinforcements continued as Vinny Colantuono found the third 11 minutes later when Conner Rezende found him in space for the beautiful back post finish. 

The back line was strong yet again as the goalkeeping duo of Greg Monroe and Ryan Sinnott were given very little to do.  Paul Makaj and Frankie Ljucovic were phenomenal in the middle of the field as they controlled possession and the pace of play for 90 minutes.  Dylan Williams was strong in his return to Stockade FC for the first time since 2016 after spending three seasons abroad. 

“Solid performance by our guys tonight,” said Kingston Stockade FC Head Coach Jamal Lis-Simmons. “It was great to get an early lead and we felt more in control as the game went on.  Big contributions from our reserves again which was great to see. Our defense set the tone throughout the match earning another shutout.”

Stockade FC returns to action this Wednesday, June 26 at 7:00 pm when the Brooklyn Italians visit Dietz Stadium with major playoff implications at stake.
