2010 Region IV Far West Regionals -- Day 2





When you're playing at 4000'+ altitude, it pays to have subs, and Bayern had lots of them. Unaccustomed to the altitude, the Boys paid the price against Bayern's constant rotation of players on the field, losing 3-0. Not for want of chances, though. Their substitutions resembled a hockey line-change, often 3 at-a-time, and their freshness reaped rewards. In the first half, Nicky beat the defense and the keeper but was slide tackled on the line. In the second half, Kevin struck the cross-bar and, shortly later, went just wide on a 1 v. 1 against the keeper. A nice cross by Steven missed Kevin's and Nicky's head by centermeters on the far post. Bayern played tough and physical, and their goals were clean. Today, the Boys face Arizona, who lost their first match 1-0.
