Zeca Ferraz helped lead the way as the Chattanooga Football Club rolled to its first National Premier Soccer League victory of the season.

The opportunistic striker slotted home a score past the keeper and finished a powerful cross from Caleb Cole for the first two goals in Saturday night’s 4-0 win over Inter Nashville FC at Finley Stadium.

“The biggest thing about this win was the change in attitude we had from the second the whistle blew,” Zeca said. “We were more alert and driven. We weren’t going to waste opportunities. We have so many quality offensive players, and it was just a matter of time before we broke through.”

Cole and company pressed extremely hard early to create chances, many of which involved Joao Costa energizing the home crowd with his dangerous playmaking.

While CFC keeper Phil D’Amico was not allowing a goal, a pair of second-half subs helped make the game a rout late.
