Cucuy FC - Azteca FC 2:7 (1:4)
It's already Thursday but I'm still a bit sore from the game, and I mean physically. I guess I haven't played 90 minutes with three men down in a while. Considering that, I don't think we did such a bad job. We decided on an Inter Milan tactic using a 4/2/1 with 2 defensive midfielders (Scotty and Dave) and Andrew as the lone striker up front. About 10 minutes into the game, Scotty dribbled the ball into the box and could only be stopped by a foul - penalty! Andrew took up the responsibility, missed the shot, and got a second chance he also missed. BUT that was all part of the plan, since the resulting corner by Dave gave us the lead with a Brent-style header goal.
Wow. So we're three man down and still go ahead 1:0, that was pretty impressive. Jason had a number of Kahn-worthy saves but in the end he could not keep them all out so we were down 4:1 at half time. Second half Dave scored off a freekick from a center-left position. It was not the most beautiful shot, but it did go in and I think it was his first free kick taken, and first free kick goal, so not bad. After that Azteca should have scored a bunch more goals but Jason saved us time and time again. With a full squad I don't think Azteca would have beaten us. Hope our injured players are back soon.
Goals: Andrew, Dave Hintz
MVP: Jason H.
