Toros Beat Cucuy

Cucuy FC - Deportivo Toros 0:3 (0:0)

We held strong against them first half, but in the end the Toros deservedly won. Carl in goal did an outstanding job first half, with at least two world-class saves. One was a fantastic one-handed reflex, the other a saving dive after a well placed free-kick in the bottom left corner. CNate also deflected at least two shots that would have gone in. Although the Toros pushed us back pretty hard, we also got several good chances, and I'm not talking about Javier trying to score off the kick-off.

Second half the heat really started to affect us (me for sure), and with only one sub it was hard to get a break. Toro's first goal was a directly converted corner, pretty much Carl's only mistake that day. We still produced a couple of counter attacks, but with the Toro's having about 7 subs or so they soon got the best of us. Things could have gone worse if Schluni wouldn't have defended as well, and if CNate had not intervened once more, chasing a striker down at full speed and tackling the ball away, CNate-style. Overall I would say though I'm liking the new system with the two defensive mids. Makes it a lot easier for the wing players to set up plays.

MVP: CNate
Goals: None
