FC Naples News Release


Naples, FL - In front of an energized home crowd, FC Naples battled the Chattanooga Red Wolves to a 2-2 draw at Paradise Coast Sports Complex. Forward #11 Justin Weiss delivered a breakout performance, scoring his first two professional goals in the first half, assisted by #9 Karsen Henderlong and #10 Jayden Onen, and earning FC Naples a crucial point in the USL League One standings.

FC Naples took early control of the match, with Weiss finishing a perfectly placed ball from Henderlong in the 33rd minute. Just eight minutes later, Onen picked out Weiss again for the second goal of the night. Chattanooga responded swiftly after both with goals at the 36th and 43rd, equalizing the score before halftime. The match showcased FC Naples' dynamic front line and strong team chemistry, especially in the attacking third.

Weiss shared his thoughts on his first professional start and first two career goals, calling it a night he'll never forget: "I'm super grateful to have done it in my first start, I mean, a dream come true. That's what I've been looking forward to my whole life, so I'm pretty happy it happened tonight."

Head Coach Matt Poland applauded the team's overall performance, stating, "Offensively, some great actions. It's just about cleaning up some of the defending in the box. They didn't present us with any challenges we couldn't handle- it was more our own mistakes that led to the goals. So on one hand, it's good that it's something we can control and fix. On the other hand, it's on us to make sure we do just that."

Saturday's match was the only home match in June, and the fan turnout reflected the growing excitement around professional soccer in Southwest Florida. The atmosphere was vibrant, energetic, and a testament to the passion of the Naples community.
