EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (June 28, 2019) – It was a night of firsts for Bethlehem Steel FC tonight as the club earned its first win over USL Championship expansion side Hartford Athletic 3-0. The match also saw Issa Rayyan score his first professional goal, Cole Turner provide his first Steel FC assist and Tomás Romero record his first clean sheet of 2019.
The Steel FC attack was all over Hartford early with Faris drawing first blood in the 17th minute, his fifth of the season. Union Academy midfielder Cole Turner made the assist, his first for the Steel, off a quick restart deep in the midfield with a perfectly weighted ball to the Cameroonian forward.
