Cucuy back on Top Against Mercenaries

Cucuy FC - Mercenary FC 5:1 (3:0)

After that non-fun game last week it looked like everybody has been working out getting ready for Cinqo de Mayo. Mercenaries also did not have their strongest team, but still, 5 goals are 5 goals.  We started strong giving the Mercenaries no time to set up or get a breather, and it looked just like a matter of time until we would score.  After about 30 minutes or so, Rody put us ahead 1:0.  Then Javier scored the 2nd goal a few minutes later, and I subbed in and scored the third. Not to be too much of a windbag, it was a pretty exiting goal. I dribbled around a few players and then put it with my right (!) foot in the bottom left corner. For somebody to score with the foot that god gave solely to stand on, it was pretty amazing. After the goal a guy from Mercenaries came up to me and said "I know you, you've been playing for Cucuy for years. What you did with our defense, you normally don't do that!" Which is true.

Second half we played against the wind, which usually helps our game. But I think we the 3:0 we got a little bit greedy. Less passing, plenty of long distance shots, for a while it looked like Mercenaries could come back. And yes, they did get three amazing chances in a few minutes, but Kyle in goal saved them all. Fantastic job. To quote the same guy from first half: "I don't think we could buy a goal from you guys." Then Raul put the lid on the pot with our 4th goal, having played a great game in center mid setting up our game and many of our chances. After that, Mercenaries got their goal of honor. Mr. Goddammit had finally broken through our defense. In the end, Kyle P. put the icing on the cake with our fifth goal of the day.

Goals: Rody, Javier, Eddy, Raul, Kyle P.
MVP: Raul
