2009 Dallas Cup Game #2: WCFC 4, NJSA 0

NJSA had 1 shot on goal and their defenders cleared off the line 3 shots that had gotten by the keeper.

Cheered, or rather egged, on by the WCFC U16s and U14s, the Boys put on a clinic. Stevie opened the scoring in the first half on a low shot to the near post from about 20 yards out. Christian scored the next goal after Kevin dela Torre earned a breakaway, crossed the ball to Cruz, who beat the keeper and gave it to Christian for the walk-in. In the second half, Anthony scored the third goal after Trevor's shot was deflected by the keeper to Anthony in front of the goal. Cruz (or "'lil Messi") earned the fourth goal on an individual effort, some shake-n-bake, and chipped the keeper to the far upper v.

All the rumors about NJSA's guest striker from the Ivory Coast turned out to be without any significance. Juanito completely shut him down, as he hardly touched the ball.

Braedon promised to bring his boys to our game again tomorrow night. Each move was met with cries of "Ole"; each foul against us was met with jeers. The whole game, the 16s led the crowd in the 'wave' -- which, for some reason, stopped at the 50 yard line when it reached the NJSA side. There's nothing like bringing your own biased crowd for a home field advantage.

Pacheco earned a yellow for retaliating against a player who fouled Mikey, and Trevor earned a yellow for, from what it looked like, getting kicked by the NJSA player.
