The game had an even start in the first few minutes, both teams moved forward with the ball and created some good chances. Aidhan opened up the score board with a nice left foot finish.

Mario took advantage of a slip up from the keeper and tied the game, 1-1. Luke, who had a great game last week, had a fantastic start in this game as well, scoring a good goal that came from a corner kick and putting his team up 2-1. The match went on with many more goals and a few shots denied by great keepers and the post.  Sawyer scored an amazing volley straight from a corner kick… Looked like something he learned from the Karate Kid.
