FRESNO, Calif. – In its home opener, Central Valley Fuego FC (2-1-2, 4th) played Greenville Triumph SC (1-2-2, 9th) to a 1-1 draw in the pair's second meeting of the season. Diego Casillas opened the scoring in first-half stoppage time, as the former Fresno FC man headed in the Villyan Bijev cross to put the home side up in its first league match in Fresno. Early in the second half, however, a costly Fuego FC own goal would mean Central Valley and Greenville would be forced to settle for a draw.
