Game 4 Recap

Interesting game for sure!

Out: Dawg, Chad, D-Ray, and Brady

As interim coach, I thought that we should really get creative with the lineup. So we put the all time Boones United leading goal scorer at keeper. Peer, Brett, and Bent played outside fullback - Tutt, Preston, and George played center fullback - Joel, Nutz, and Mucio played outside mid - Stu B, Todd, and Mickey played center mid - Clay, Pup, and Pele Julio played striker. Crazy right?

Anyway things seemed to working fine. This was not the fastest team in the world, so we had some nice runs up front and some good chances. Later in the first half, Peer made a run down the left side. He was a dibbling machine and found his way damn near to the opponents end-line. He then made a nice cross across the goal and waiting at the far post was Joel. Joel pulls out the "side bike" from his bag of soccer tricks and hits the ball perfectly. Keeper had NO chance. Boones 1 - Cruz Azul 0.
Just minutes later Cruz Azul has possession and the Boones defense just can not seem to clear the ball out of our area. A Cruz Azul futbol player sends a high lofting shot from the right of the goal that soars just above Big Dave outstretched arm for the tying goal.

In the second half we went back to more of a classic Boones lineup. Bent played keeper, Pele Julio played defense, and Big Dave moved to striker. Dave knew he score against these guys. It didn't take long for our offense to put on some major pressure. Pup ran past their defense again and was determined to score. The keeper blocked his shot but we won a corner. Joel sent a perfect corner across and Tutt was there head the ball in for the goal. Boones 2 - Cruz Azul 1. Just a few minutes later, we won another corner and Tutt almost scored again. I think the Cruz Azul defenders freaked out when Big Dave went in the game. I didn't see exactly what happened, but I know Dave was chasing down one of their defenders and he made a TERRIBLE back pass that ended up in their goal. Gracias Senior. Boones 3 - Cruz Azul 1.

Well like I said it was an interesting game. Cruz Azul came right back and scored two quick goals. One off of an unlucky Boones deflection that rolled right in the middle to one of their guys. Boones 3 - Cruz Azul 3.

Well good thing Big Dave decided to play striker. He was able to dribble around some guys and take a nice shot that found the back the net. Boones 4 - Cruz Azul 3.

Notes: Pup got a yellow card in first half then another yellow card in the second half. Two yellows equal red. Refs took his card so Pup will have to go to NTPSA to get it and miss a game. We played the end of the game with 10 and didn't allow them to score again.
We wore our yellow jerseys and did not need to. Cruz Azul had on white yesterday.
Mickey brought some Snow Berry Creek to celebrate our first win. It was sweet.
