CITY2 proved a close match for HCFC in the first half, with HCFC going into the locker room down a goal. Amiche eventually made the difference, bringing his team the lead with a converted penalty kick. Amiche's stutter-step sent the goalkeeper the wrong way as Amiche scored into the left side of the goal.
Finally, Amiche earned HCFC some insurance by scoring the final goal of the game. Amiche dribbled toward the attacking third, passing forward to Joshua Drack, who ran into space on the left flank. Drack passed back inside to Amiche, who finished with a first-time hit.
Amiche is enjoying a successful 2023 season for Huntsville City FC in his first year as a professional. He was acquired by Nashville SC in January 2023 after a four-year college career with Campbell University.
