Jathan Juarez Scores First Goal of 2025 MLS NEXT Pro Season

Defender Jathan Juarez scored a rocket shot into the top right corner to net his first goal of the 2025 MLS NEXT Pro Season. The goal was set up by Carolina Core FC defender Ibrahim Covi, who earned his second assist during the 2025 MLSNP season. Juarez scored the only goal of the game, helping give CCFC the win. Jathan Juarez is known for scoring great goals, as the San Antonio native won Goal of the Week during the 18th Matchweek of the 2024 season.

CCFC's Offensive Domination

Carolina Core FC's offense fueled its 1-0 victory over Orlando City B, showcasing the club's relentless attack on goal. CCFC dominated all offensive elements of Wednesday night's clash while holding Orlando City B to just one shot on goal. The Foxes tallied 14 total shots with five on goal, none more prominent than Jathan Juarez's stellar goal to give CCFC the win. Midfielder Facundo Canete led CCFC in total shot attempts with four, which is double the total shots Orlando City B attempted.

Shutout at The Point

Carolina Core FC held Orlando City B scoreless thanks to a defensive display that saw them earn all three points. The Foxes were able to limit Orlando City B to just two shot attempts during the entire match. Goalkeeper Alex Sutton was pivotal in the shutout, parrying away Orlando City B's only shot on target- a dangerous free kick headed into the top right corner of the goal. The strong performance was enough to see The Core climb up the Eastern Conference standings into ninth place with 16 points- just one point shy of playoff contention.
