Cucuy gets Spanked by Mercenaries

Cucuy FC - Mercenaries FC 2:6 (1:5)

Games against Mercenaries have always been close calls in the past, but this one clearly was not. With only 10 men, missing Karol, Scotty, Brent, Carl, and CNate, this was a bit too much. I felt bad for Jesse who was trying his best but really had no chance to save four of the first five. On the other hand, 1:5 sounds a lot worse than we played first half. With a bit of luck we should have scored about three times. Highlight of the first half was Ben's goal, a low shot he passed by the keeper (Birke: "There goes the skunk!").

Second half Jason gave Jesse a break and played keeper which worked out pretty well for us. Mercenaries got a little greedy, starting to shoot from any distance, which made a bit easier for Jason. Cole then scored our second goal after intercepting a pass from a defender and shooting it past the keeper who was on its way back to his goal.

But man, do I love the Star Soccer Complex fields!

Goals: Ben, Cole
MVP: Ben
