June 10th, 2015

North American Open Cup - First Round

IMG Bradenton Academy vs Wake Forest Cougars


Attendance: 599

GK: Gyan
D: Campbell/Pickering/Galvis/Jackson
DM: Williams
MC: Tapia/Shakespeare
AM: Davidson/Cooper
ST: Navarro

19': First highlight of the match, they take a free kick and miss a shot badly.

21': Williams loses the ball in midfield, there is one long ball ahead for ST Gonzalez, he gets behind the defense, gets a clear cut chance and finishes cleanly. 0-1

24': We have a throwin in their end, we have like 5 men in the box for what seems like forever, lots of short passing, finally Tapia finds Campbell on a run down the middle unmarked, he shoots and its good! 1-1

28': Davidson ahead to Shakespeare, a defender comes in and slide tackles it away, but it goes backwards towards their goal, right to Navarro, who gets to the ball and finishes strong! 2-1

40': Navarro receives a pass 25 yards out, ahead to Cooper, he's tackled in the area... but no foul.

HALF: They shoot 5 times to our 4, its all pretty damn even. 3 clear cut chances, 3 goals. We are better in the air, 69% of our headers won to just 47% for them. That' the only distinguishing factor right now.

46': They launch a shot from 25 yards, way high.

64': Solid defending, we win lots of headers to keep them from building an attack and eventualy intercept a pass nicely to clear. No threat.

68': Davidson with a nice ball into the area for Shakespeare, he controls it off his chest but not well enough to shoot, its tackled away, Davidson runs up to the loose ball and shoots, but wide.

83': Burke in for Galvis.

86': Navarro picks up a minor injury.

90': Glaser in for Tapia

92': We allow a long run by their left midfielder into the penalty area, but instead of holding it up and trying a cross he shoots from a really awkward angle, and misses.

93': Just a minute or so left, we allow a corner, but Campbell makes the clearance.

That's it! We're Rich!

IMG Bradenton 1 : 2 Wake Forest

Their goalscorer is man of the match.

Goals: Campbell (7.4), Navarro (7.1)
Assists: Tapia (6.9), Davidson (7.2)

Joe Jackson with a 6.4, everyone else in the high 6's.

-- We receive a crazy $228,000 for this victory. More than doubles our profits on the year so far.

Injury Update

Navarro hurt his toe and will miss 9-12 days. He'll miss the Old North Cup match, not a big concern.



Here's our first goal, I'm real pleased with our patience and passing.
