Queretaro FC - Cucuy FC 0:1 (0:1)
So far we never finished a game against this team: both games ended in fights. What everybody expected to be another ugly fight turned out to be a pretty fair game. A couple of rough plays, a few high cleats but that was about it. What made the difference was an excellent team of refs who kept control for the whole game.
Patrick scored the goal of the day that came off the post after a low shot from Andrew, who was set up by a perfect pass from Karol. Andrew had another great chance but barely missed the 2:0.
Second half it was more or less a game on one goal (ours), with a few breakaways. Our defensive line though did an admirable job and defended attack after attack. With only half a sub the win was a bit lucky but still deserved thanks to a great defense.
Goal: Patrick
MVPs: Brent, Jason, Dan, and Okan

Same Score, Same Winner
Octabong - Cucuy FC 1:2 (0:0)
Carl put us ahead in second half after a free-kick from Karol that kind of dropped in his lap and from there rolled into the goal, barely making it over the goal line. Not the prettiest goal ever, but still put us ahead 1:0. Talking about pretty, Brent's goal that followed was one of the best I've ever seen. Corner from Karol, Brent came running on the short post and nailed the header under the crossbar. It happened so fast, the keeper wouldn't have had a chance even if he stood in that corner. Ibrahimovic would have been proud. In the end our lack of subs started to show, and Bong scored on a corner. But we held on to the win, thanks also to Jason who shut down Bong's main striker completely and had a really awesome game.

Revolution Beats Cucuy
Cucuy FC - C&C Revolution 2:3 (0:1)
Revolution came out pretty strong and put a lot of pressure on us with distance shots. After Jesse saved a bunch of them, one finally went it. We also had a few chances but I think the lead for Revolution at half time was deserved.
Second half we played much better, but had to concede two more goals. We came back after a nice setup from Andrew to Patrick, and with seconds to go another goal by Chris. Andrew could have had another shot at the tie but was fouled before getting into shooting range. Took two Revolution players to take him down, and I think they both hurt themselves by doing so. That'll teach em.
Goals: Chris and Patrick
MVP: Jesse
