This past weekend marked the first time in four years that the NASL has seen representation from Puerto Rico. Due to financial problems in 2012, the Puerto Rico Islanders were forced to dissolve, closing off the world to a soccer island that had much more to give.
When Hector Ramos opened the scoring in the 74th minute and in Puerto Rico FC’s fresh history, fans in the Estadio Juan Ramon Loubriel went crazy! Pride, passion, and energy coarsed through the stadium as if soccer had never left. A goal that lifted tension and nervous questions.
Puerto Rico FC would go on to tie, giving up a goal in the late stages of stoppage time, but what else would you expect from the Spring season champs, Indy Eleven.
