Cucuy Dominates and Loses

El Tri - Cucuy FC 3:0 (1:0)

If anybody watched Barcelona vs. Chelsea, I was kind of reminded of that game in first half. Us being Barcelona, El Tri being Chelsea. We had a lot possession and chances, but little to show for. Patrick, Raul, Todd, Javier all had very good chances but the ball simply did not want to hit the back of the net. El Tri, with an average BMI about half of Cucuy's, gave us a little trouble with some counter attacks, but nothing we could not handle. On one of those we lost a bit of our concentration and Stan, trying to step in, stepped on the opponent instead, resulting in a penalty kick against us. Kyle did not have a chance and it was 1:0, also the score at half time.

Although there was some frustration over first half, I was certain we would turn this around second half. Pulling the stopper into defensive mid gave us even more offense, and from the start we had several good chances. The best was possibly after Raul dribbled the ball across the box and set me up. Unfortunately the ball went against the crossbar and out. Only a few minutes later, El Tri got a second penalty, and Brent a yellow. If that was a fair call or not I couldn't say, Brent and several others on our team completely disagreed however, and after further disagreement Brent saw a second yellow. With Brent out the rest of the game was an uphill battle, and the 3:0 was soon to follow. It could have been 4:0 if Kyle hadn't saved a great shot, barely getting a finger on it, tipping it against the post. Let's hope we got this one out of our system in time for Cinquo!
