Huntsville, Ala. - Huntsville City Football Club earned a 4-2 win against Crown Legacy FC at Wicks Family Field at Joe Davis Stadium through a Forster Ajago brace and goals from Jony Bolaños and Woobens Pacius.

Huntsville got the scoring started early when in the 3rd minute, Izzy Johnston's long ball found Bolaños, who sent in a cross to Ajago, and the forward poked the ball into the back of the net for his first goal of the night. The Bolaños to Ajago connection would link up again in the 41st minute when the former's pass found the latter in the box for his second goal of the game and his fifth in his last four games.

Cam Duke got one back for Crown Legacy in first half stoppage time, and Willian Sangoquiza equalized for the visitors in the 57th minute. Huntsville grabbed the lead back in the 74th minute, when Ollie Wright intercepted a pass and dribbled the ball up field before finding Bolaños, who fired the ball past the keeper for his fourth goal of the season.

A pair of substitutes making their Huntsville debuts sealed the win when Axel Picazo found Woobens Pacius, who struck the ball into the far corner.
