Amarillo Moves to 6-0 After Testing Win Over Atletico Pro

AMARILLO, TX — The Amarillo Bombers maintained their perfect season on Friday, defeating Orlando Atletico Pro FC 11-5. While the final score suggests a comfortable margin, the match was a high-effort affair that required the Bombers to withstand a heavy second-half push from the Orlando-based division leaders.

Early Energy and Defensive Resolve

Amarillo set the tone early, prioritizing a high work rate that yielded 11 goals from 28 shots. The Bombers’ initial momentum was built on winning contested balls and maintaining a disciplined defensive shape, which initially frustrated an Orlando side coming off a 1500-mile trip.

Atletico Pro found their rhythm in the second half, testing Amarillo’s resolve with a sustained offensive resurgence. However, the Bombers managed to absorb the pressure and stabilize their lead through sheer defensive persistence.

Scoring Highlights

Ema Celaya (#99, Amarillo): Provided the offensive spark with three goals, including two clinical solo efforts where he beat multiple defenders on the dribble.

Cleber Rodriguez (#95, Amarillo): Netted two goals and an assist. Rodriguez’s ability to find space in a crowded box continues to be a primary asset for the Amarillo attack.

Raphael Tobias (#79, Orlando): The league’s leading scorer lived up to the billing, recording a hat-trick to bring his season total to 31 goals.
