Christian Chaney’s header lifts Fuego past Las Vegas in PDL match

This time, the Fresno Fuego had to play a little catch-up.

It was only for five minutes, though.

Blanco’s goal came off a free kick when the ball sailed over the goalkeeper and went in over the left side. He then assisted on Chaney’s goal.

The Mobsters went up 1-0 in the 17th minute when Milan Popovic scored from inside the box.
