Cucuy Beat Young Guns in Season Finale

Young Guns - Cucuy FC 1:4 (0:3)

Thanks to Dan's call we got the wind for the first half, which was probably the best he did all game. In any case, we had the upper hand first half and Cary scored off a cross from Nick for the first goal. Karol scored the second, a header that came off the crossbar after a nice rip from Scotty. Then Cary had another great moment, scoring the third goal from the left with his outside left in to the far upper ninety. Just beautiful. Young Guns had a lot of chances though but our defense didn't give up a goal, thanks to CNate who had two great saves and Nick who saved the ball off the line after a corner.

Playing against the wind, second half was the total opposite. Rarely have I seen a team so dominant with so many chances, and so little luck, talking about the Young Guns here. Dan took a permanent break after a red card for saving a header with his hand on the line. Is that what they teach you in France? Whatever, Young Guns missed that penalty. Two minutes later, Young Guns got their second penalty after CNate and I took down a striker in the box in a somewhat illegal way, but CNate guessed the right corner and saved that one. In one of our rare appearances in the other half, Karol marked the 4:0, and just before the end Young Guns finally scored the 4:1 Ehrentreffer. This should have probably gotten us into the playoffs, we'll see.

Goals: Karol (2), Cary (2)
MVP: CNate (Staring down the first penalty and saving the second).
