Cucuy FC Gets a Lesson in Effectiveness

Cucuy vs. Blitzkrieg 0:4 (0:1)

We did not know what to expect, since Blitzkrieg is a relatively new team. With the core players missing: Brent, Edgar, Jason, Todd, Kyle P, Cole, and Hintz we knew it was going to be a tough day for us. The beginning of the game was quite comical, since neither team had their kit. It was hard to distinguish players, but nevertheless Cucuy played nice soccer with lot of passing and possession. Thanks to three guest players (Ernesto, Edward, and ...) we had two subs. Seemed like Cucuy was closer to scoring in the first half (5 corners to 1, 6 shots to 1), mostly thanks to Ben who stopped the opponent's counter attacks at the half field. Until, the last play of the half time, when our right side got overloaded due to an injury in the process. One shot - one goal and a half time whistle.

The second half things did not change much as we maintained pressure, took lot of shots, defended well, but just could not score. Eventually, Blitzkrieg managed to string another attack and overloaded left side. Ben did what he could, Kyle put his hand on it, but the finish was superb, 0:2. Cucuy mounted several chances, corners, good shots, but it was not meant to score a goal. While we were busy attacking, Blitzkrieg scored two more goals from the next three shots. So, totaling 4 goals out of 5 shots. Not bad. (Karol) 

MVP: Ben
