Maremoto's successful summer season had a big test against the furious offense of Home Team Opponent 'Ben Bridge.' Maremoto's defense had been previously proven by only letting four goals in the first two games against Ich Liebe and Point Break. This weeks game started as expected with a quick strike from Michael, who powered the ball into the goal within the first 10 seconds of the match! However, the currents changed, when Abukar Abukar, commonly known as Alto, our usual good natured Ref, played forward for the Home Team. Alto was a formidable opponent. Even the league's stoutest defense had no answer in the first half when Ben Bridge coupled Alto with an equally fast forward on the field leading to five quick goals to finish the first half in the lead. Ben Bridge's quick lead was shattered when Enrique and Utku stepped up and Katherine stopped the furious attacks from Home Team. The game was tied 8-8 with less then five minutes left on the clock. This high scoring game was put out of reach as Alto increased pressure on Maremoto with time on the clock winding down. It was a valiant effort by team Maremoto who scored 9 goals. The team was tested against skilled opponents but is now stronger than ever!
Player of the Match: Katherine was the cure to Maremoto's depleted female subs. She played full time and was a nightmare for the home team offense. Opponent Alto credited her with three good stops on him.
