Close but No Cigar Against Hooligans

Cucuy FC - Hooligan's FC 1:3 (1:1)

Playing against a team with average age of 22 gets to be tougher every time.  Especially when the half the team is nursing a hangover.  Cucuy did not play the best mach and we could not string more than three passes at the time.  Nevertheless, we managed to create good opportunities throughout the game.  Hooligans struck first after a deflected shot, 0:1.  Few minutes later Cary evened the things up from the corner kick with the diving header, 1:1.  Cucuy came close to take a lead after a set piece to David K, who managed to turn on his marker and send a cracking shot.  Unfortunately, it was deflected for a corner kick.  The second half we were getting tired and Hooligan's started to show an upper hand.  Breakdown in the middle allowed their sweeper to dash into our PK box and one-touch it passed Kyle, 1:2.  We kept creating scoring opportunities and Cole and Javier came close to even things up, but their shots flew over the cross bar.  Close!  In the final minutes, we pressed on searching for an equalizer, which exposed our already tired back line and allowed Hooligan's to score their third goal in the final minutes of the match.  

Goals: Cary
MVP: Cary
