Maremoto FC 1 - 5 DKS
A quick few goals at the beginning of the game made life tough for Maremoto FC. However, towards the middle of the 1st half the team was getting a bit more organized. Unfortunately, an injury to a DKS player caused 5 minutes of the 1st half to be lost just when Maremoto were finding their rhythm with the help of nice passing from Yong and Michael. Robert's strong play in the midfield was rewarded when he slotted in a nice shot giving Maremoto something to cheer about. The team played hard but it just wasn't our game as we found ourselves chasing the ball rather than holding our formation.
Maremoto FC 3 - 3 HT
Fresh from a loss, Maremoto took the field. Inspired by some nice moves from Enrique, the team played through fatigue. Burak ran hard, while Sarah and Kyle stole multiple balls. Consequently, Maremoto were not allowing HT to settle into the game. Newcomer Lauren scored in her first Maremoto appearance. Although Maremoto did not win, the team showed they can bounce back from a tough defeat. It was a tie worth celebrating...and we celebrated by keeping Burak from passing out. I guess playing with a fever is not a good idea, but he does come from a country of "bear stranglers", so he is tough.
Player of the Matches: Hard decision because everyone played great, even if the results don't show it. However, I'd have to say Lidia was the most impressive. Our little Italian showed true spirit throughout the games. Her defensive skill and fiery attitude was unmatched.
Special thanks to the fans and injured teammates who came to support us. It helps.
Go Maremoto! Cheering from a far. A tie at the second game! I'm impressed. I should have left earlier, then may be we would have won.
