Cucuy Finishes Season With a Win

International Old Boys - Cucuy FC 0:4 (0:1)

On a perfect day for soccer we closed out the season with a match against the International Old Boys on the "Acker" in Bulverde. This field doesn't really lend itself to a passing game, but I guess we made the best of it. It did help the Old Boys's game of kick and rush, but our win was not in any real danger throughout the game. We dominated first half but could not score until Karol's 20 yard free kick goal, a true "Sonntagsschuss". Wow! The free kick came as the result of one of many fouls from the Old boys, some of them pretty late. Cary got taken out badly at least three times, which did not stop him from scoring twice. Although the Old Boys were playing pretty rough, at least they were not complainers, so we give them that.

Second half the Old Boys had several good chances but either Jason, Brent, or Cory had a foot or hand in there at the last second. The goal from Brent was the icing on the cake, free-kick from Karol (after a foul on... Cary) and a picture-header from Brent into the long corner. Gus also had a bunch of good chances and if not for the Old Boys excellent keeper the score would have been much higher.

Thanks to Cory for the chilled beverages and to Nathan F. for the come-back. Looks like the soccer camp in Germany is paying off!
