Atlantic Coast Cup - Second Round
IMG Braddenton Academies vs Wake Forest Cougars
Attendence: 231
Starting Lineup
GK: Gyan
D: Coggins/Hernandez/Forrest/Jackson
DM: Tapia
M: Rose/Castro/Perkins/Fisher
ST: Navarro
So we're pretty big dogs here, I'm going to go with a 4-1-4-1 for it. Defensive mindset. I could field a stronger team but we play again in 3 days, trying to find a little balance.
8': Gyan makes 3 saves in about a minute.
22': Rose is hurt and must leave the match. Shakespeare is in.
29': Forrest with a yellow.
33': Shakespeare ahead to Navarro, he holds the ball up and draws 2 defenders, Perkins makes a run, Navarro finds him and he scores from 15 yards out!! 1-0
40': We earn a corner but can't do anything with it.
HALF: They outshoot us 8-6 but only put 1 on target, they had a couple very threatening flurries but we seemed to handle it quite well.
49': Yellow for their midfielder Morales.
51': They get a break on a counter after we turn it over in the midfield, there's a long ball from midfield ahead to a striker who has a step on our defense and hits a nice shot. 1-1
55': They earn a corner, we head it behind, second one is cleared by Tapia.
61': Sandoval in for Castro.
82': They take a long shot, on target but Gyan easily scoops it up.
FULL TIME: They are more in control of things now, but anything can happen at this point. We didn't shoot a single time in the second half. Arredondo in at MR for Fisher.
HT ET: The first extra time period goes by without a single highlight.
112': Navarro picks up a minor injury.
113': A poor header by Hernandez gives one of rhtie strikers a clear cut chance from the edge of the area, but he puts it wide.
116': Lots of pressure now, we clear a cross after some buildup, but they get forward again, a shot is taken from 20 yards, wide.
FULL TIME.
We go to penalties. So we know penalties are a little ridiculous in this version so lets just see what happens.
Both teams make their first 5 penalties.
We get to 7-7 when they take one right at Gyan and he stops it. Coggins steps up with a chance to win and scores!!!!
IMG Bradenton (7) 1 : 1 (8)p Wake Forest
Man of the Match: Bayard Perkins (7.4)
Goal: Perkins
Assists: Navarro (6.8)
Notables: Jackson (7.0), Hernandez (7.1)
Gyan gets a 5.7, is that because of the penalties?
-- The draw for the next round has already occurred, we play league rival Montgomery Yellowhammers in the quarterfinals!
-- We get $9,680 for this win.
Injury Update
Navarro is ok, but AMR Dylan Rose is out 3-4 weeks with a leg injury.
