FC Motown Defeats Hershey FC 5-0 in Keystone Conference Action

By FC Motown

FC Motown opened its National Soccer Premier League (NPSL) season in impressive fashion with a dominant 5-0 victory over Hershey FC.  Throughout the match, FC Motown had a high-powered attack and a disciplined defensive performance.  Motown controlled the match from start to finish. 

FC Motown wasted no time setting the tone early in the match.  Julian Gomez opened the scoring just five minutes into the game before adding his second goal in the 20th minute to quickly give Motown the lead.  The early pressure and aggressive attacking play forced Hershey FC onto the defensive for most of the opening half.  Motown added another goal in the 27th minute when Joao Ramos found the back of the net.  The home side carried momentum into halftime after Andres Lazo extended the lead in the 43rd minute, giving FC Motown a 4-0 advantage heading into the break. 

The second half continued much like the first, with FC Motown controlling possession and maintaining pressure offensively.  The final goal of the night came in the 82nd minute when Luke Ayaz finished off another strong attacking sequence to cap off the 5-0 victory.  Goalkeeper and team captain Josh Schafer secured the clean sheet helping FC Motown complete a shutout performance in the season opener. 

FC Motown returns to action next Saturday, May 23, at Rangers Stadium at Drew University.
