FUTSOC Futalan U16 Finalists at the 2019 ENIGMA Cup
June 1st, 2019
Similar to how our FUTSOC FUTALAN U16’s started the last event, our boys had a convincing 2-0 win over South Kendall Sun Blazers, with second striker Alessandro Coletta scoring the opening goal with a quick turn and shot, and the assist coming from stopper Samuel Figuiera in the middle of the field.
In the second half, our boys dominated play and picked up a second goal, this time by center midfielder Guilerme Lazzarini on a tap-in just next to the keeper from a cross by Camilo Lozano.
Game 2 saw a tough match, which resulted in a 2-1 defeat to Cyclones Hollywood,… with the lone goal coming from Alejandro Papparoni off a blocked shot of Center Back Gabriel Calleja, which saw him get the ball and score in the box. Cyclones came back a bit later to tie it up at the half and near the end midpoint of the second half they ripped a shot sailed through our keeper Bruno Falco’s opem arms.
In game 3, the boys played locals West Pines Utd., who were nearing elimination from the tournament and so we pulled out a tough fought win. With playmakers Camilo Lozano and Diego Quintero on the wings, the boys made their way up the field with great combinations, but could not find the net or connect with forwards Sebastian Pombo and Franco Yezzi. In the dying minutes of the game, Tomas Cevallos was taken down in the box leaving a golden opporrunity for Alessandro Coletta to score the penalty for 1-0 to victory which advanced them to the final.
In the ENIGMA CUP Championship Final, the FUTSOC FUTALAN U16 Yellow boys went up against Cyclones Hollywood. The game would prove to be a tough re-match, defined by just one error, that resulted in the sole score of the match. Both teams played extremely well with great combinations and physical play. The respected opponent played a very similar style to our own, which made the game much tougher. In the end, our boys lost 1-0, but played incredibly well to the entire satisfaction of the players coaches and parents in attendance!
Congratulations to our wonderful boys…Finalists (Sub- Campeones)!!
