soccerinsider Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 What an impressive win tonight. The pirates came out playing hard from the very beginning. We were able to score in the first minute of the game. Not even half way through the first half Christian had a great shot outside the box putting us up 2:0. We kept control of the game for almost the entire first half. Towards the end of the half PNG scored their first goal. In the second half PNG came out and dominated the field. They tied the game 2:2. The two teams fought hard and battled at both ends of the field. Towards the end of the second half Vidor got a second wind, and started pressuring PNG's defense, and gained control of the game. The fans were really in it by this time, and started chanting and using their Vuvuzelas to cheer for their team. With buckets and drums, students rallied behind their home players. Jacob, the Pirates outstanding midfielder, managed to receive the ball at the top of the box, and with pace, control, and speed, made a perfect through pass to Jimmy. Jimmy once again (similar to last game) flew by the defender and placed the ball between the goalie and near the post. What a goal. This brought the score to 3:2 with the Pirates in the lead. Despite PNG's best effort, they were not able to make a comeback, and Vidor walked away with a victory. Great game by both teams. Congratulations to both coaches for having their teams ready to play, and providing us with an awesome game. Kudos to the Pirates back line for a great defensive game.
texcoug Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Thanks for posting about the quality of Jacob's through pass. Perfect pace and angle. Too many times, those are over-struck.Great game. I thought Vidor moved the ball around real well (PNG too). Good work by both teams.
