Game Comments: 

SSFAC continued their usual pattern of starting the match with a quick pace as they had great link up play between Carlos Ballesteros, Vikram Tharakan, Sam Nadell and Brendan Cadam. They connected well as SSF had many great counter attacks. South City tested Biersch"s Goal Keeper with numerous shots from outside the eighteen, and finally broke through as Ballesteros found himself in on the keeper and laid off a pass to Cadam for the opening goal.

Halftime saw the match 1-0 for the home side and South City came out flying again. They put on extreme pressure and that led to goal number two as Sam Nadell found Vikram Tharakan for the finish. Shortly after that, Ballesteros weaved some magic as he worked through the box and found the bottom corner for a 3-0 lead. With SSF playing some good soccer on the counter, Kevin Ma raced onto the ball and beat the Keeper, who made the initial save but could hold it, and Kevin put it away into the empty net.

SSFAC might have had more, but were happy to play some quality soccer on this day. SSF's Keeper Adrian Monroy notched his first clean sheet of the season with his usual brilliant play in goal and had some great support from his dynamic backline of defense lead by Kevin Ma, Kieran Lade on the right back position and Martin Wright on the left. The Center Back tandem of Meyer Gorelick and Fernando Costa did a number on anything Biersch tried to mount in the way of an attack. All in all, another terrific effort from the team.

Now it gets a little harder as they hook up with Santa Clara Sporting next Sunday at El Camino High School with kick off set for 3:15pm. Both clubs sport a 3-0 record, so it should make for a great match.
