Real Azteca - Cucuy FC 0:0 (0:0)
A fast and physical game on a bumpy Schertz field ended with a draw that I think we can live with. The field made it pretty hard to pass and control the game. First half Azteca had definitely the upper hand but could not get passed Cory who had a bunch of great saves. Then Hattrick injured a finger and had to sub out. Shortly after, an Azteca player got hit hard in the face during a header challenge, which resulted in a red card for Jason K. although the contact seemed accidental. Second half we did pretty good with only 10 guys, mostly defending and trying our luck with counter attacks. First Jo and then Karol almost scored the winning goal but that might have been too much. In the end Cory saved the draw with another nice save after an indirect free kick in the box. Whatever you're having before the game, keep drinking it. MVP goes to Scotty who shut down the Azteca midfield and probably ran more than anybody on the field today.
Goals: None
MVP: Scotty
Thank Gott we had the super-sub kids and the Mercenary (what an appropriate moniker considering the circumstances) player that hung around help us out...between injuries, and expulsions, we would have been in trouble without some young legs up top to hold off Azteca's advances....
