Solid Weekend Versus Chargers

Atlanta Fire United hosted divisional rivals the Clearwater Chargers from Florida in their season home opener at the weekend. The u-16 team led at the half 1-0 after some good work by Roberto Hinojosa set up Chris Harrison for the first goal. Clearwater scored two goals after halftime to lead 2-1 until late in the game when some more good work by Roberto set up Juan Herrera at the far post for a simple tap in equalizing goal.

The u-18's got off to great start when they were awarded a penalty when Ryan King was adjudged to have been fouled in the box. Brady O'Brien stepped up and confidently scored from the spot. Then just before halftime Lucas Ade beat two players and laid the ball back for Ryan King to side foot home. Clearwater scored with 15 minutes to go in the game to bring it back to 2-1 but were unable capitalize and the Fire held on for the 2-1 win.
