Defense Holds Up Despite Cory's Best Efforts

Saturday United - Cucuy FC 2:3 (1:1)

The game was pretty balanced overall, SU having the better passing game and the upper hand in midfield, while we dominated with our defense, and made better use of our chances. Eddy scored the first goal with a nice shot from the far left side that may have looked like a bad cross to the untrained eye. SU then tied the game by lobbing a high ball into the penalty box that slipped past Cory and kullert into the goal.

Second half we put on the pressure for about 5 minutes, forced a bad pass by SU that Cary picked up, who then run a circle around the SU sweeper and finished it off with a shot in the far corner. The goal of the day definitely goes to Karol however, who had an amazing free-kick goal from about 25 yards on the right into the left upper-ninety. After that goal SU picked up the speed and created lots of chances, but our defense held up pretty well until the Red Bull and weeks of UFC kicked in and Cory decided to take things into his own hands. Although he had the SU striker in a submission hold, and according to CNate he never tapped out, the ref saw some wrongdoing and decided on a penalty kick. Maybe Cory just wanted to show off his Elfmetertoeter skills, anyway, that shot went in. SU had some more chances to tie the game but in the end we came out ahead as the lucky winners.

Goals: Eddy, Cary, Karol
