Maremoto FC 6 - 11 DMJLaw.net

Previously playing in C League, DMJLaw.net started this season with three straight wins, before facing Maremoto. Even though, DMJLaw.net was heavily favored, Maremoto wasn't going to go down with out putting up a fight. Maremoto scored six goals starting with Diego, followed by Andrea, Michael, two from Vasily and finished again with Diego.

Katherine highlighted the game by dribbling from the goal line to goal line and assisting to Diego for a goal.

Maremoto might have lost the game on the scoreboard, but was able to hang in the game with DMJLaw.net.

Player of the game: Our new player Andrea played with courage and she deserved to be the player of the game with her two goals in two games.

Maremoto FC 3 - 8 Matter FC

Matter FC started the game with a lopsided lead. They had already scored three goals before our new recruit Andrea scored her first goal. In the first half, every time Maremoto attacked only one defender, Katherine, was left to stop the counter-attacks. The result was three Matter FC forwards against our one defender, so they found open shots.

The second half started with Matter leading 7-1. Luckily Maremoto had an extra player on the field, so we had a more balanced second half. Michael cut the lead to 2-7 and Diego scored the last goal to finish the game 3-8.

Lesson learned from this week's game: if we don't play positions, it is like being down a player. Also, the passing game was not satisfactory.

Maremoto FC 2 - 6 Point Break

Maremoto was desperately in need of a win after a long losing streak, and they were ready to do what it takes. Michael took the ball from the kick off , dribbled across the field and scored the first goal of the game. The youthful Point Break was looking for an answer and they had to balance and increase the pressure until they found two goals take the lead in the first half.  The furious Point Break opened up the lead to 3-1 in the second half, until Diego's shot bounced back from the wall and Enrique scored the second and the final goal for Maremoto.

With the clock winding down, Maremoto had to loosen up in the offense and Point Break's opportunist speedy forwards took advantage of the weakened defense with three unanswered more  goals. 
 
Another unlucky day for the Team Maremoto, the game finished 2-6.

Player of the game: Katherine kept the score in single digits by stopping many attacks with a solid defense. 

Goal of the game: Michael's quick strike from the opening kick off demoralize the Point Break and kept them on their toes for the rest of the first half. Two goals in the first half and four goals in the second half says it all.

Maremoto FC 2 - 3 Ich Liebe

Ich Liebe started the game with two goals to take the early lead. When Enrique subbed in, he cut the lead to 1-2, as the score of the first half.

Maremoto was desperately looking for a goal to tie the game and the long waited-game-tying-goal came from Enrique. Ich Liebe's goal keeper saved many more after the game was tied. Even the beautiful header from Michael, assisted by Sarah. Ich Liebe finally scored one more time with seven minutes left on the clock. For the rest, Maremoto increased pressure, but the score didn't change. It was a close call, 2-3.

Player of the week: With two goals and many assists Enrique was outstanding.

Goal of the week: A beautiful setup by a wall pass from Vasily and a stylish finish by Enrique.
