We're into our second half of this session and we're on an upswing! We're playing Aioh tonight who have played 1 game less than us but have a similar record and goals for and against. They are older Brazilian guys from what I remember and play finesse futbol. We need to concentrate on controlling the game and the clock. I believe our defense is better than there's, so if we can control the mid-field and play intelligently, we can beat this team and move into the upper half of the division. The game is at 9:45. See you there!
Postmortem:
We prevailed last night 3 - 2. After starting out with a commanding 2 - 0 lead with a goal from Ryan and a penalty shot by Shawn, we buckled down and played some really aggressive defense and control of the midfield. Aioh got lucky with a bad call by the refs and received their own penalty kick when Ken slid for the ball, barely clipping the player, and took the game to 2 - 1. We came right back though, with Ryan's fast break that resulted a great cross to the far side of the goal. While we held them back, they were able to put another in with about 6 minutes left in the game. At that point we really locked them up and prevented several close shots on goal, thus ending the game at 3 -2. Everyone played great even though we only had 4 subs and with Shawn injuring his knee part way through. I believe Gareth and Hiren both weren't feeling so well either, but played great. One of our best games thus far was the consensus. We're finally building that chemistry and playing cohesively. Kudos!
