Win over Traditionals is Third in a Row

Traditionals - Cucuy FC 0:4 (0:2)

Doesn't get much better than this. Perfect weather, a slightly wet field that let's you slide tackle for 20 yards, and a 4:0 win.

We started out very strong, pounding the Traditionals with shot after shot but no score. With the wind on our side in first half the Traditionals barely made it out of their half, CNate in goal had a very relaxed morning. After about 20 minutes, our pressure on goal was rewarded with a score after a long, bouncy cross from Steve that seem to miss friend and foe but found me sliding in at the far post. After that we had some more major chances, a major one by Isiah and a nice shot by Steve that bounced off the post. With about 10 minutes left, Brent got fouled about 24 yards out to the left of the Traditional's goal. Karol took the free-kick, a nice shot at half height into the right corner for the 0:2, which was also the halftime score. After the break, the Traditionals put up a lot of pressure and got pretty close to scoring. Chris and Jason had to clear the ball several times at last second. A counter attack then brought the 0:3 with Steve running into position on the left, taking up a pass from Karol and slipping the ball past the keeper. That goal pretty much sealed it for us. Brent put the icing on the cake with a nice curved shot from about 20 yards out into the right corner after a (deliberate) pass from Dan. Brent had another nice header after a perfect cross from Isiah that did not find its way into the goal. Raul, who took over for Cnate in goal in second half, saved our third shut-out with a great save after a free-kick.

Kind of felt bad for Scotty, who seemed to get hit by everyone on our team.

Goals: Eddy 1 (Steve), Karol 1, Steve 1 (Karol), Brent 1 (Dan)
