North American Open Cup - Phase 1 - Group O
Wake Forest Cougars (3-2-1, 2nd) vs Belleville Squires (2-1-3, 5th)
Attendence: 457
Belleville could qualify with a win against us and some help. We'll try to keep them down because why not.
Starting Lineup
GK: Harrington
D: Coggins/Galvis/Lassiter/Arroyo
DM: Williams
M: Glaser/Mora
AM: Rose/Crook
ST: Navarro
Glaser in at MC, Rose/Crook at AM, roster unchanged otherwise.
Standard mindset today.
10': Belleville goal kick, we recover it, move forward pretty quickly, Mora ahead to Navarro, he's got his man beat, he tries to chip it over the keeper from 18 yards out, but not high enough, keeper catches it.
41': AMR Ryan Crook is hurt and has to come out immediately. Crap, that's my top two AMR's gone. Samir Pace, mainly a striker, can also play an acceptable winger. He's in.
43': We earn a corner on a Rose cross into the area, first corner they head it behind, second the keeper grabs it.
HALF: We are dominating this match, 5 shots to 1, 59% of the possession, just no goals yet.
69': they intercept a pass in the midfield, a pass down the center, then sent out wide right, crossed into the area and ST King heads it in. A nice little play there for Belleville. 0-1
We'll attack to try to get the goal back.
70': It doesn't take long at all. Navarro has it near midfield, sends it ahead to Mora, the defense is closing in but he takes a shot from just outside the box and its by the keeper and in, very well placed! 1-1
75': The little used Bayerd Perkins is in at MC for Glaser.
And that's it.
Wake Forest 1 : 1 Belleville
Man of the Match: Jhonathan Mora (7.8)
Goals: Mora
Assists: Navarro (6.6)
Notables: Glaser 7.1
We were by far the better team today and we should have won that one. We needed to finish a bit better.
We luck out in that Crook doesn't have any sort of long term injury after this one.
Next up we'll find out who we play next in the North American Open Cup, and we begin league play on the road in Hickory, NC.
