On Saturday, one thing is for sure: Pedro Dolabella will put his stamp on the match. The Brazilian midfielder has blossomed this year, with 15 goals in all competitions ranking 9th all-time for a USL League One player. With up to four matches on the horizon, he could shoot up the ranks from here, though it would take something from another universe for him to approach Trevor Amann’s 27 goal tally last year in all competitions. A more approachable target could be Noe Meza’s 23 goals for the club, which slots him behind only Steevan Dos Santos in Union Omaha history; Pedro has scored 21 for his Omaha career.
ABOUT CENTRAL VALLEY FUEGO FC
For all their travails, Fuego are ending the season quite well. The Fresno outfit have taken two of their last three matches by netting 1-0 victories over playoff teams Spokane and Greenville. Through this bump in form, they’ve pulled themselves off the bottom of the table into a three-way scrap at 18 points for the wooden spoon (albeit with one more win than Lexington SC). They have some spark to them for sure, thanks to playmakers José Carrera-Garcia and 2024’s assists king Alfredo Midence Alvarado. With hopefully some needed changes elsewhere on the horizon for the beleaguered franchise, they can take this bright end to the season as a springboard into next year.
