With a little help from the Machine we were able to pull this one off. Atlas had a lot of skill and speed, and threw in a few dirty plays for good measure. We had the upper hand for the first few minutes, in part because Atlas started short. Once they had all men on board it was an even game. Atlas attacked but our defense around Schluni and Ben stood firm. On one counter attack Steve connected with a beautiful long pass to Scott, who just put it away for the 1:0.
Second half Atlas started like they were out to prove something. They pushed us back and got several chances, but Kyle stopped them in their tracks. When it looked like the tying goal was a matter of time, I think Scott brought in a perfect cross from the far left side. In came Huczek flying, and falling sideways, hammered it volley into the net. All that world cup studying finally paid off.
Soon later, one of the Atlas players blew a fuse and punched Mike in the face. The ref said "no es bueno" and sent the player off with a red. After that, the game was pretty much decided.
Goals: Scott, Jason
MVP: Scott
