Flower City 1872 cruised past FC Buffalo 4–2 in USL W League action on Wednesday, putting four goals on the board in a comfortable home victory. Individual goal scorers and times were not immediately available.
Flower City controlled the match with a four-goal haul, though FC Buffalo managed to find the net twice to avoid a shutout. The home side's attack proved too much on the night, building enough of a cushion that Buffalo's two goals were ultimately consolation strikes rather than the foundation for a comeback.
The six-goal affair was a clean contest — neither side picked up a booking, with no yellow or red cards issued across the 90 minutes. That lack of ill discipline was notable given the number of goals and the competitiveness the scoreline suggests at various stages.
Flower City's defensive record will be a point of discussion despite the win. Conceding twice at home, even in a four-goal performance, leaves room for improvement. But the attacking output papered over any cracks at the back. Scoring four in any league match is a statement, and Flower City delivered one.
FC Buffalo, meanwhile, will look at this result as a missed opportunity to take something on the road. Two goals away from home often signals enough quality to compete, but shipping four made it a steep hill from the start.
The result gives Flower City 1872 valuable points and momentum heading deeper into the W League season.
