Well, let’s head to City Stadium—and it’s not one for the purists, but it is one for the points tally!

Richmond Kickers 0, FC Naples 1—and it’s the visitors who are heading back to Florida with a big smile on their faces.

The key moment? Just before half-time. Naples knock on the door, and in the 43rd minute, Kevin O’Connor says “thank you very much,” slots it home, and suddenly the away side have something to hang onto!

Second half—did Richmond respond? Well… they tried. Plenty of huff, a bit of puff, but not quite enough to blow the Naples house down! A couple of chances, yes, but the visitors looked organised, disciplined, and quite happy to keep things tight.

And let’s be honest, it wasn’t exactly a goal fest—more chess match than shootout—but FC Naples won’t care one bit. Away from home, one goal, three points… job done!

As for Richmond Kickers, you’re left thinking—could they have done more? The effort was there, but that cutting edge just missing when it mattered.

So, not a classic—but for FC Naples, it’s another step in the right direction… and those are the kind of wins that can really build a season!
