PEORIA, IL — Peoria City was on fire Sunday night in front of the greatest crowd we’ve seen all season.
2,017 supporters: A franchise-breaking record at Shea Stadium for Peoria City Soccer. And our players put on a show to close out the our home games strong.

The “Prince of Peoria” would strike again in the 2nd half, as Noah Madrigal knocked in his 2nd goal of the night.
Peoria would keep up the heat as Danail Sergiev put one past the keeper, making it 5-1.
While we would’ve loved another one of our players to get the 6th goal of the night, we’ll take the own goal we were given. 6-1 Peoria City to end the night.
This win marked a 3-game win streak for Peoria City and has it at 6-5 on the season.
