“And here we go, folks…” 🎙️
Down at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex, under the Florida lights, it’s FC Naples who are making all the noise in the First Round of the 2026 U.S. Open Cup—and let me tell you, they didn’t just win… they strolled it.
Up against Red Force FC, and from the first whistle you could sense there was only going to be one story here.
23 minutes on the clock…
Torrellas! ⚽
Lovely move, crisp finish—Naples lead, and you’re thinking, “This could be a long night…”
Seven minutes later… SEVEN!
Hudson Gay says, “I’ll have a bit of that!” ⚽⚽
2-0! Game? You’re already leaning that way.
And Red Force? Well… they’re chasing shadows, quite frankly. One shot all night—one!—and not even on target. The Naples keeper could’ve brought a deck chair.
Second half rolls on, Naples in complete control—passing, probing, enjoying themselves. The crowd loving it.
Then deep into stoppage time…
90+2…
Gray! ⚽⚽⚽
That’s the icing, the cherry, the lot. 3-0, thank you very much.
Full-time: FC Naples 3, Red Force FC 0.
A dominant display, a clean sheet, and not a hint of trouble along the way.
And I’ll tell you what—if they keep playing like this, you wouldn’t fancy being the next team drawn against them… not one bit. 👀
