Great Game Against Warhawks

Cucuy FC - LAFB Warhawks 2:1 (0:1)

This game was a pretty even match-up, and everybody had to work really hard for the win. First half we had more chances than the Warhawks but had trouble to find the back of the net. We also had trouble with Warhawks two fast strikers, but Schluni and CNate kept the upper hand against them. Warhawks number 10 however had too much room, dropping behind the attack and creating lots of chances for them. Warhawks Number 10 also scored the goal for the 0:1 at half time, a shot from the top of the box that left no chance for Kyle.

Second half we marked number 10 much closer, and handing him off between Karol, Scotty, and Schluni worked really well. The Warhawks did not shoot on our goal for at least the first 20 minutes, all the action was in their half. Finally, Javier was able to slide a 50/50 ball past the keeper, getting fouled in the process and having to limp off the field. A few minutes later, Cole scored our second, a nicely measured shot from maybe 20 yards out in the bottom corner. In the end we almost gave up the win after Kyle, apparently somewhat bored in second half, missed a ball at the top of the box, which the Warhawks striker passed to the middle. The striker there had little opportunity to miss that shot from about 10 yards with no one in goal except Brent who had hurried back. To all surprise, the shot when wide. I guess Brent IS an imposing figure ;) Overall, the second half was some of the best soccer I've seen Cucuy play in a while. If we cut back on the long balls and keep up the running and short passes we can do some nice stuff.

Goals: Javier, Cole
MVP: Scotty
