Darlington School Soccer Academy’s U17 MLS NEXT boys responded to last week’s home loss with a commanding 5–0 road victory over Kings Hammer Nashville on Saturday.

Rayan Noor opened the scoring in the 19th minute from a Gabe Kesitilwe assist. Darlington then struck twice in first-half stoppage time: Thomas Fitzgerald scored at 45+1′ (Free Kick) , followed by Samuel Lazzaroni at 45+2′ (PK), sending the boys into the break with a 3–0 lead.

The momentum carried into the second half. Lazzaroni assisted Aindreas Thompson’s goal in the 47th minute, and Thompson later set up Michael Godfrey to complete the scoring in the 66th.

The attack produced five goals from five different players, while excellent team defense kept Kings Hammer off the scoresheet. Goalkeepers Ashton Sedgley and Jaxon Woerner shared the clean sheet, capping a strong response from the entire U17 group.

Scoring: Rayan Noor 19′ (assist: Gabe Kesitilwe); Thomas Fitzgerald 45+1′; Samuel Lazzaroni 45+2′; Aindreas Thompson 47′ (assist: Samuel Lazzaroni); Michael Godfrey 66′ (assist: Aindreas Thompson).
