West Coast Lodges Fifth Straight Shutout -- Beats Legends 2-0 to Advance to the 2009 Dallas Cup Finals against Dallas Texans

The wind died down some today, but it still impacted play. West Coast started against the wind but still were able to put pressure on Legends' defense. In the 25th minute, Christian beat two Legends players down the right hand line and crossed the ball to Brian, who finished it with a header to the low post past the Legends keeper (photo). Neither side scored by halftime. Legends came out strong in the second half notwithstanding the fact that they were against the wind. With about 10 minutes to go, Kevin de la Torre caught Legends on a breakaway and beat the keeper with a strong shot to the near post. The Boys held on to the end, and lodged another shutout in the 2009 Dallas Cup.

Tomorrow, the Boys play in the main Pizza Hut Park Stadium against the Dallas Texans, who have very publicly let it be known that West Coast is no match for their pro-scouted, almost pro-contracted, national team players.
