Redlands FC edged Capo FC 4–3 in a seven-goal affair in USL League Two action on Wednesday night, claiming all three points on the road in one of the highest-scoring contests of the season so far.
The match produced goals at both ends throughout, with neither side able to establish firm control. Redlands found the net four times to ultimately outlast a Capo side that matched them nearly blow for blow. Detailed scorer and timing information was not immediately available from the league.
What is clear from the scoreline is that defensive structure took a backseat for both clubs. Capo will feel hard done by after putting three past a Redlands side that conceded generously, but the hosts simply could not keep the visitors quiet at the other end. A one-goal deficit proved impossible to overturn.
For Redlands, the result carries real weight. Picking up three points away from home in a game where they were forced to score four times shows a side with attacking punch, even if questions remain at the back. Conceding three goals on the road is hardly a blueprint for sustained success, but the willingness to keep pushing forward ultimately paid off.
Capo, meanwhile, will rue the defensive lapses. Scoring three at home should be enough to take something from most matches, and walking away empty-handed despite that output stings.
The win bolsters Redlands FC's position in the League Two standings as the summer schedule intensifies, while Capo FC will need to shore things up quickly to avoid falling further behind.
