Hyped to have this Riveters/Steel City piece on the cover of the @pghcitypaper.com this week! It's a huge moment for women's soccer and soccer in the city of Pittsburgh. The potential is here to turn this opportunity into something bigger, I hope everyone takes it!

The Steelers have the largest divisional lead in the NFL after six weeks. Just like we all predicted.

Fulltime - Steel City FC 3-2 FCY New York. The hosts hold on and take a hard-fought win and secure advancement to the 3rd round of 2026 USOC qualifying!

90' - Corner after corner for FCY New York here as they desperately seek an equalizer, but the Steel City defense is coming up huge so far. Can they hold on for 5-6 minutes of stoppage time?

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 10h

87' - A dangerous free kick here for FCY New York, centrally at the top of the 18-yard box, surely going to be taken direct at this stage. It's ripped towards goal and on-target, brilliantly taken, but brilliantly saved by Watson once again to keep it level!

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 10h

Additionally, several yellow cards distributed for the pushing and shoving between the call and take - two to FCY New York players, one to Rami Bensasi for Steel City.

82' - GOAL, Steel City FC! Cameron Territo steps up to take it again and his initial effort is saved, but parried right back to him and he slots the rebound in easily. The hosts regain their lead, 3-2, with under ten to play.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 10h

78' - Penalty! Steel City's Donrick Richards beats his man on the right wing and is swiped down from behind. The hosts will have a chance to take the lead after the refs handle discipline with some pushing and shoving.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 10h

74' - A free kick from near the corner coming for Steel City, and they'll effectively take it as one. It swings well over everyone, gets headed back across, but a great grab from the FCY New York keeper ends the danger.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 10h

69' - And the mistake comes back to bite Steel City FC! The in-swinging corner is headed home by Witman Hernandez to equalize for FCY New York! This one is far from over folks!

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 10h

68' - Whew, dangerous backpass there from the Steel City defense is luckily out for only an FCY New York corner. Fortunate escape from a self-inflicted mistake for Steel City.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 10h

64' - A quick counter and now it's FCY New York with a corner as they seek an equalizer, but Watson is quick off his line to claim it.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 10h

62' - Steel City seeking to answer back quickly, as a deflected shot is put out for a corner. Taken in-swinging centrally, but punched away and eventually cleared.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 10h

58' - Penalty for FCY New York as the runner is dragged down in the box. Ali Alomari steps up and slots it top-bins to Garret Watson's right to pull one back for FCY New York, it's a 2-1 Steel City lead.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 10h

57' - A gentle chip from Nick Niebauer clears the keeper, but also clears the crossbar despite a little roar from the crowd.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 11h

50' - A massive save from Garret Watson at point-blank range as he's able to tip a surefire goal over the bar! A tremendous job for the veteran goalkeeper!

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 11h

46' - We're back underway with the second half, Steel City holding their 2-0 lead as we kickoff the second 45 minutes.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 11h

Halftime - Steel City took an early lead just a few minutes in, and then doubled it with a later penalty, to bring a 2-0 lead into the break. Both teams pressing aggressively for more goals, and it won't be comfortable.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 11h

44' - A shot on-target from Nick Niebauer, who has been all over the place this first half, but this time handled easily by the FCY New York keeper.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 11h

36' - PENALTY! Nick Niebauer beats his man on the left-wing and slips into the box where he's brought down and the referee has zero hesitation. Cameron Territo to take, and he sneaks it under the keeper for the goal! Steel City FC take a 2-0 lead!

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 11h

35' - The left-footed effort from the edge of the 18-yard box is taken towards goal but blocked well by the Steel City wall before being cleared away. The hosts maintain their 1-0 lead, but lots of action in both directions.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 11h

33' - Turnover in the defensive third for Steel City yields a corner for FCY New York. It's taken short and initially amounts to little, but a nice recovery from the visitors results in another dangerous free kick being earned.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 11h

28' - More pressure along the Steel City right wing yields a corner this time. It swings to the far post, and the visiting keeper misses it, but is bailed out by a kind whistle from the ref for a foul on Steel City.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 11h

27' - Foul from FCY New York in the defensive third gives Steel City a chance to swing a dangerous free kick into the box, but it's handled by the visitor's defense.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 11h

26' - A left-footed shot after a cut-in from the Steel City right-winger sails the crossbar, but the pressure continues mounting from the home side's heavy press.
