Hammerspiel Against Old Boys

Cucuy FC - International Old Boys FC 6:5 (3:2)

What a game! So we had most of the possession, but the Old Boys made 2 goals out of 3 chances. Looked to me we were playing pretty nervously, building up the Old Boys confidence. In the beginning I thought we were the much better team but at 0:2 I started to doubt it. Interestingly, with about 30 minutes left in the half, the Old Boys started to run down the clock.  Seriously? Anyways, Ben came in on the right wing and turned things around for us. He set up a whole bunch of plays that led to great chances and goals. Our first goal was Huczek's, a volley out of maybe 10 yards that went into the upper right corner and left a hole in the net. Let's just say I doubt the keeper would have saved it if he had stood in that corner with his hands up. Then Hintzki scored a Doppelpack, one of them a really nice shot from long distance. So 3:2 it was at halftime and all was good.

Second half almost did not start because the Old Boys refused to pay the new rate for the ref. Somebody found 5 bucks and we continued the game, scoring twice, first Andrew and then Karol via penalty after getting tripped up in the box. Kind of a hard call against the Old Boys, maybe the ref was still thinking of all that crap they gave him at half time. At 6:2 things should have settled down pretty easily on our side, but the Old Boys first got a penalty of their own, and then scored two more goals. Old Boys could have tied it but CNate saved a shot on the goal line and the day for us.

Goals: Jason H., Hintzki 2, Andrew 2, Karol
MVP: Ben
