Fox Soccer League – versus Chivas
5–0 (3-0)
Excellent outing. Sixteen players in attendance. New appearances were Julio (in goal), Mike (right full back sub), and Henrik (center-mid sub).
Background – Chivas on 9/21 played a 1-1 draw with the team that shredded us 6-0 the previous Sunday. We expected this game to be a challenge but we were up to it as all players were in full agreement regarding maintaining full control of their emotion. They didn’t disappoint; we displayed the most mature outing I’ve seen our team put together. We came into today's game with a minus 13 goal differential (we'd scored 10 goals and conceded 23).
Calm composure makes for smart soccer. In the 7th minute, Robbie, one of our two attackers, was sprung on the right wing with full awareness that Hagop, the other attacker, had taken off in the middle. With no need to look up to confirm, he bent the ball behind the defence into the path of Hagop who calmly latched on to the ball and picked his spot for the first goal.
Timely and accurate ball distribution got us two more goals in the first half. Armen launched a precision perfect lob over Cesar’s shoulder. Cesar’s speed secured the 2nd goal in the 16th minute. The 3rd goal was in the 25th minute.
Cesar’s speed won the ball in the 18th minute of the second half on the right flank. He patiently held the ball until Robbie showed up for the perfect set up. The goalie was no match for Robbie’s rocket from outside the 18 for our 4th goal. We made it 5-0 on the dot of 20 minutes.
Great job, guys. Maybe I’m the only one that noticed, but it seemed like the refs still made some bad calls tonight but mostly against the other team who were busy cursing at the ref – maybe it’s just me. Even when atrocious calls went against us, we were barely bothered. We looked dignified. Please keep this up.
