Carolina Core FC Outlasts Inter Miami II to Earn Three Points

Glory Nzingo was the man of the match, scoring two goals for CCFC in style. With midfielder Jacob Evans back in the lineup and Glory Nzingo coming out on fire, The Foxes looked refreshed and organized, responding well to Inter Miami II’s second-half pressure to close out the win. CCFC is now tied with Inter Miami II in the standings, with both teams holding 13 points on the season. Carolina Core FC are now on a three-game unbeaten streak heading home to play Orlando City B at Truist Point.

Player to Watch

Glory Nzingo put in a man of the match performance in Fort Lauderdale having scored two goals to earn Carolina Core FC’s first road victory of the season. Functioning primarily as a midfielder, Nzingo was shifted into a striker role and capitalized on the opportunity in CCFC’s 2-1 win over Inter Miami II. Nzingo doubled his scoring against Inter Miami II, with the midfielder now on four goals this season in MLS NEXT Pro. During the 2025 MLSNP season, Glory Nzingo has made eight appearances, with four of those being starts for Carolina Core FC. The Ireland Under-21 international will be a force to be reckoned with for the upcoming match with Orlando City B.
