Tactical Story

Fort Wayne employed a direct, physical style that consistently bypassed Boise’s midfield press. Their wing‑backs pushed high, creating overloads on the flanks. In contrast, Athletic Club Boise struggled to build from the back, completing only 68% of their passes in the defensive third. Fort Wayne’s high line also caught Boise offside five times, nullifying their main threat on the break.

Standout Player

Fort Wayne’s central midfielder Jorge Lozano controlled the tempo, completing 92% of his passes and winning 10 duels in the middle third. His distribution set up the first two goals and earned him the Man of the Match award.

Impact on the Table

The victory lifts Fort Wayne FC to second place in the USL League One standings, just one point behind leaders Greenville Triumph. Athletic Club Boise drops to eighth, six points adrift of the playoff positions, and will need to address their porous defense quickly.
