Maremoto FC 5 - 4 DKS

Despite suffering a tough season, Maremoto FC found a way to end the season on a good note with a 5-4 victory over DKS.

Maremoto looked a bit rusty and disorganized in the first half, probably due to the holiday break, but did enough to remain in the game. The second half saw a major improvement, as Vasily, Marie, Lauren and Andrea prevented DKS from creating many quality scoring opportunities. Meanwhile Beth, Enrique and Michael created lots of scoring opportunities on the other end of the field.

With less than three minutes left in the game, Maremoto FC were losing 4-2. Thanks to an organized defense and a persistent attack, Maremoto came from behind to win 5-4! Certainly a highlight of the match was Enrique's beautiful cross which was delicately headed into the back of the net by Michael.

Congratulations to everyone for playing hard despite the challenges this season has presented.

Player of the Match: Yong was a superstar on defense and offense. He was either stealing the ball from opponents or setting up goals. Although I thought he might collapse from exhaustion, he never gave up and played just as hard on defense as he did on offense.

Note: Standings have been updated on 1/10. It appears the standings are final, unless DKS and Mano Verde play their postponed match during the next season.
