Carlos Herrera Records 3rd Clean Sheet in 4 Games for Detroit City FC
Carlos Herrera continued his strong start to the 2026 USL Championship season, earning his third clean sheet in four matches as Detroit City FC battled to a scoreless draw on the road against Rhode Island FC on April 4th.
The result extended Detroit City's unbeaten run and underscored Herrera's consistency between the posts. Three clean sheets in four games is an elite rate at any level of professional soccer — a reflection of the preparation, positioning, and focus that define his game.

CLEAN SHEET: Herrera Stands Tall as Le Rouge Secure 1-0 Victory Over Charleston
In a gritty, physical battle at Keyworth Stadium, Detroit City FC earned a massive three points on Saturday night, defeating Charleston Battery 1-0. While Darren Smith provided the heroics on the scoresheet, it was a commanding performance from goalkeeper Carlos Herrera that ensured the victory stayed in Detroit.
Herrera Anchors the Defense
Earning a hard-fought clean sheet, Carlos Herrera was the backbone of a Le Rouge defense that refused to break. Herrera’s most crucial moment came in the 65th minute; with the match still deadlocked at 0-0, he produced a stunning save to deny Charleston’s best scoring opportunity of the night.
The shutout marks a significant bounce-back for the defensive unit. "We were all disappointed with the way the game went last week," said defender Callum Montgomery after the match. "To come out against a good Charleston team, keep a clean sheet, and get three points — that's exactly what we needed."
The Breakthrough
The match remained a defensive stalemate for much of the evening, with Detroit seeing two goals disallowed for infractions. However, the persistence paid off in the 75th minute.
A skillful drive from Haruki Yamazaki ignited the attack, moving through Chisom Egbuchulam and Ates Diouf before finding Darren Smith in the box. Smith clinical finish into the bottom right corner sent the Keyworth faithful into a frenzy and provided the only goal Herrera and the backline would need.
Hard-Fought Points
The match was not without its costs, as Detroit had to navigate injuries to Maxi Rodriguez and Preston Tabort Etaka. Despite the physical nature of the contest—which saw several yellow cards issued to Charleston—Head Coach Danny Dichio was delighted with the squad's resilience.
“I'm absolutely delighted because the boys put in such a huge amount of work today," Dichio said. "To come up against a team like Charleston... and get a result like that, was just a really good team win.”
Up Next: Detroit City FC looks to carry this momentum forward as they continue their 2026 USL Championship campaign. Stay tuned to detcityfc.com for ticket information and match previews.

Naples Duo Earns USL League One Team of the Week Honors for Week 3
The accolades continue to pour in for FC Naples as the league enters the third week of the 2026 season. Today, USL League One announced that defender Julian Cisneros and midfielder Marc Torrellas have both been named to the Team of the Week following the club’s hard-fought 1-0 road victory against the Richmond Kickers.
For both players, this marks their second Team of the Week selection in just the first three weeks of the season, highlighting their consistent impact on the pitch during the club's inaugural campaign.
Julian Cisneros – First XI
Cisneros was a force on both sides of the ball in Richmond, earning a spot in the Team of the Week’s starting eleven. The 24-year-old defender provided the crucial assist on Kevin O’Connor’s match-winning goal. Statistically, Cisneros was nearly flawless, completing 35 of 41 passes, winning 6 of 7 ground duels, and recording five recoveries and two clearances to help secure the clean sheet.
Marc Torrellas – Bench
Joining Cisneros in the weekly honors is Marc Torrellas, who earned a spot on the Team of the Week bench. Torrellas’ composure in the midfield was vital in managing the tempo of the game and neutralizing Richmond’s attack, further cementing his reputation as one of the league’s most reliable playmakers in the early stages of this season.
A Remarkable Start
To be recognized among the league's best twice in the opening three matches is a rare feat that speaks volumes about the individual quality of these two players. Julian Cisneros and Marc Torrellas have set an incredibly high bar for themselves, proving that they are not just contributors, but elite competitors in USL League One. Their multiple selections are a testament to their work ethic, consistency, and the immediate impact they have made on the pitch this season.

CLEAN SHEET FOR PRATT: Chicago Fire FC II Stays Unbeaten at Home
Behind a career milestone for goalkeeper Owen Pratt, Chicago Fire FC II battled to a 0-0 draw against Carolina Core FC at SeatGeek Stadium this past Sunday. The hard-fought stalemate was followed by a clinical 5-4 penalty shootout victory, ensuring the Fire claimed the extra point and remained undefeated on home turf this season.
Pratt Stands Tall
The story of the match was 17-year-old goalkeeper Owen Pratt, who earned his first career MLS NEXT Pro clean sheet. In a game defined by 38-degree temperatures and heavy winds, Pratt remained a steadying force for the Men in Red.
He was tested early in the 7th minute, producing a sprawling save to deny a powerful strike from Carolina’s Mehdi Zerkane. Pratt’s composure through a rain-slicked second half and a goal-mouth scramble in the 36th minute kept the visitors at bay and secured the shutout after 90 minutes of play.
Shootout Success
With the score tied at the end of regulation, the match proceeded to a shootout to determine the winner of the extra point. Despite the intense wind conditions, the Fire shooters were perfect from the spot.
Dylan Borso, Trip Fleming, David Poreba, and Dean Boltz all converted their attempts. After a Carolina miss off the crossbar, Oscar Pineda stepped up to bury the final penalty, clinching the 5-4 victory.
By the Numbers
Saves: Owen Pratt (4)
Shots: Chicago (18) / Carolina (10)
Passing Accuracy: 86.2%
Result: 0-0 Draw (5-4 PK win)
What’s Next?

Young Veteran, Major Milestone: Chris Brady Joins USMNT for Final Pre-World Cup Camp
The road to May is nearly complete, and a vital hometown talent is still firmly in the race.
Everyone at Mag Mile Sport is incredibly proud to report that Chicago Fire FC goalkeeper Chris Brady has been officially called into the final U.S. Men's National Team training camp before the final World Cup roster is announced in May.
This call-up represents a powerful milestone in Chris’s inspiring career path. While often framed by early-season form, this selection is actually a deeper recognition of consistency and elite preparation developed over a sustained period.
It is easy to overlook that Chris is still only 22 years old. Accumulating that level of professional experience so early is rare and speaks volumes about his poise, tremendous ability, and rapid maturity. We are talking about a player who has now anchored the starting goalkeeper position at the highest level of Major League Soccer for over three full seasons—a unique blend of innate talent and veteran composure.
From his local Academy beginnings to winning the Golden Glove at the U-20 Championship and now pushing for the highest senior level, Chris has met every challenge head-on. This camp is not just a reward; it is another critical step on that path.
The journey continues toward May, and we are excited to watch Chris seize this crucial opportunity on the national stage. Best of luck in camp, Chris!

Three Mag Mile Sport Players Earn Team of the Week Honors
Chris Brady was named to the MLS Team of the Matchday after posting a four-save shutout in Chicago Fire FC’s 0-0 road draw against the Columbus Crew on March 7. Chicago Fire FC’s official announcement noted that Brady earned the honor following that four-save clean sheet, and MLS coverage highlighted that he preserved the result despite facing strong Columbus chances.
At FC Naples, both Marc Torrellas and Julian Cisneros were named to the USL League One Team of the Week following Naples’ 2-0 win over Fort Wayne FC on March 7. Torrellas earned his place after recording one assist, completing 32 of 39 passes, adding five recoveries, and winning 3 of 5 aerial duels in the win.

Chris Brady Secures Second Consecutive Clean Sheet In Draw With Columbus Crew
In a gritty tactical battle in Columbus, Ohio, Chris Brady once again proved why he is the bedrock of the Chicago Fire defense.
Recording a massive clean sheet on the road against the Columbus Crew, Brady’s performance was defined by more than just his shot-stopping; it was a clinical display in modern goalkeeping and composure under pressure.
While the 0-0 draw highlights a resilient defensive shift from the entire squad, Brady was the primary architect of the Fire’s stability. Facing a dynamic Crew lineup, he remained unflappable, commanding his area with authority and organizing a backline that refused to bend.
Beyond the gloves, Brady’s contribution to the Fire’s build-up play was nearly flawless. According to Opta, the 22-year-old showcased elite-level precision, acting as a relief valve for the defense and a pinpoint starter for the transition game:
Goal Kicks: 90.3% accuracy
Run of Play: 91.3% accuracy
Throws: 97.8% accuracy
In a match where every possession mattered, Brady’s ability to find teammates accurately—even under the heavy Columbus press—allowed the Fire to alleviate pressure and maintain their shape throughout the 90 minutes.
This performance marks another significant milestone in Brady's development. By pairing his natural athleticism with high-level technical distribution, he continues to cement his status as one of the premier young talents in the league. As the Fire look to climb the Eastern Conference standings, having a "brick wall" who can also quarterback the offense from the back is a luxury that few teams can match.
Chris Brady Records Clean Sheet as Chicago Fire FC Defeat CF Montréal 3–0
Brady delivered the shutout with two saves and steady command of his penalty area as the Fire earned their first win of the 2026 MLS regular season. The performance was particularly noteworthy given Chicago played the final stretch down a man following a second-half red card, yet remained organized defensively and saw out the clean sheet.
