Match report
Altas saw off Fort Wayne 3:0 in the USL League One Group Stage on Saturday evening. The hosts opened the scoring through J. Desdunes in the thirty-seventh minute before M. Ibarra doubled the advantage just after the break. J. Acuna added a late third to secure the points.
Fort Wayne pushed for a response and had their chances. By then the visitors had edged possession but couldn't find a way through. Things tightened up as the match wore on, with both sides drawing yellow cards. J. Smith and J. Villalobos went off early on, while J. Jordan, N. Relerford and D. Oyetunde were cautioned later.
Coaching staff on both sides made changes to shift the momentum. K. Gafar came on for Altas in the sixty-fifth minute, followed by G. Antwi. Fort Wayne brought in C. Bahena Jr and C. Awoudor together in the seventy-sixth minute, with J. Smith and J. Villalobos also replaced.
The statistics tell a story of a game where Altas were more clinical. They completed fifty-five percent of possession and hit six shots on target from ten attempts. Fort Wayne had more shots on target—eight—but managed only three of eight on target. The visitors won thirteen corners to three, yet couldn't convert the pressure.
Altas move up to ten points in the group standings with this result. Fort Wayne remain in eighth place with thirty-three points from twenty-three games. The hosts sit on twenty-nine from twenty-five matches, but this win gives them something to build on after a mixed run of form.
