The first was the result of considerable teamwork after nearly 45 minutes of intense action; the second one showcased opportunistic creativity by a player who had just bounded onto the pitch moments beforehand.
The circumstances of Chris Garcia’s and Dominick Bachstein’s goals for FC Naples — Garcia’s first-ever for the team and Bachstein’s second — in their resounding 2-0 victory over Fort Wayne FC in their season opener at Paradise Coast Sports Complex on Mar. 7 were dramatically different, yet count all the same. The win marks a strong start to the season for our area’s first-ever pro soccer team, which controlled key moments of the match, outshot their opponents 9 to 6 and delivered an organized defensive performance to secure the shutout.
