Miami FC falls to the Rochester
Rhinos 1-0 in season opener
MIAMI, April 15, 2007 - Miami FC lost 1-0 to the Rochester Raging Rhinos
on Sunday night in its 2007 season
opener. Pouring rain at time of kickoff limited the attendance to 500
but there was one especially notable face in
the crowd as former Miami FC player Romário watched the match.
Miami’s best two chances of the match came in the 15th minute. A Zinho
cross found the head of Ignacio “Nacho”
Calcagno, who flicked the ball towards goal with pace. Rochester
goalkeeper Scott Vallow made the diving save
but gave up a rebound that bounced to Eric Vasquez outside the box.
Vasquez struck the ball well to the far post but
Vallow was again up for the challenge.
Rochester’s Kenney Bertz scored in the 70th minute from a header off of
a John Menyongar corner kick.
The Copa America trophy was available for pictures at the entrance of
the stadium.
Miami FC’s next match (friendly) is April 21st against Club Olimpia of
Honduras at 8:00pm at Tropical Park Stadium.
