Cucuy Beats Vuvuzela

Cucuy FC - Vuvuzela 6:2 (2:1)

At the start, it didn’t even look like Vuvuzela was going to have a team, so it was a relief once they finally got enough players to start. Even being up a player or two at the start of the game we failed to take advantage of it. We were disorganized through the middle and let them counter attack. They had some speed up top but Cary (yes, Cary) did a good job playing a sweeper-keeper and coming out to win the long ball. Finally, we struck. After a good build-up from the back and cross into the center the ball knocked around came to Karol’s feet near the 18. A strong strike later and the ball was in the back of the net. This goal helped settle us. Shortly after some tricky pass work up the left side allowed Scott to put in our second goal with an easy touch to the near post. The rest of the half was back and forth. Each team had a few more chances, but neither could get anything to fall.

Vuvuzela came out at full strength, looking for redemption in the second half. Hintz advised us to not give them an easy goal early. Shortly into the half we conceded a corner. The cross came in and an unmarked man put a head to the ball and directed it into the back of the net. Not 5 minutes later, three Vuvuzela players worked down the center of the field finding on outlet on the right side. The ball came back into the middle to an unmarked man, who thumped the ball just inside the post, equalizing. So much for Hintz’s advice…

With an equal score line, Cucuy got back down to business. Vuvuleza was starting to show fatigue as we were given more and more space up top. Vuvuzela began spending more time complaining to the officials about offside calls than guarding our forwards. It became much less of a game at this point and we were able to put away four more goals before the game ended without any other serious threats from their offense. Andrew buried two and Cary tagged the post once, but made up for it by putting two more.
