FC Naples edged Chattanooga Red Wolves SC 1–0 on Saturday night, with Raul Miglietti's 43rd-minute strike proving the difference in a bad-tempered USL League One contest.
The match turned physical early. Jaylen Yearwood picked up the game's first booking in the 12th minute for Naples, setting the tone for what became an increasingly fractious affair. The tension escalated sharply just before halftime when Chattanooga's Angelo Kelly-Rosales and Tobi Adewole were both cautioned in the 41st minute. Two minutes later, Miglietti made the visitors pay, finding the net to send Naples into the break with a 1–0 lead.
Chattanooga needed a response in the second half but struggled to build any sustained momentum as the game continued to be punctuated by fouls and cards. Julian Cisneros was booked for Naples in the 59th minute, Aaron Lombardi followed for the Red Wolves in the 68th, and Hal Uderitz joined the list in the 72nd. The cautions kept coming — Ropapa Mensah in the 81st minute, Juan Osorio in the 83rd. Remarkably, despite ten yellow cards shown across both sides, the referee kept all 22 players on the pitch.
Naples spent the closing stages managing the game and protecting their slim advantage. Additional bookings deep into stoppage time for Edward Delgado and Chattanooga's James Vaughan underlined just how combative the final minutes were.
The narrow win gives FC Naples three valuable points as the USL League One season enters its final stretch, where every result carries outsized importance in the playoff race.
