D-1 FC 40 - Man Chest Hair United 40 4:2 (0:1)
SUASL Soccer Game (fall season; round 7)

won, me 1 goal, 1 assist

We had a terrible start to the season, losing four games. We had to win today to make it to the playoffs.

At the start of the second half, I injured my left hamstring during a sprint, but I managed to finish the game

Note

After a long break, I finally played another SUASL soccer game! Funny enough, it was against the same team I played last time on 2024-02-25. It felt great to reunite with my D-1 teammates.

I started as a forward with Trent since Max arrived late. Unfortunately, our defense seemed a little off, and we conceded a goal in the very first minute. Playing from behind right away made the game challenging.

At halftime, we discussed how to improve, focusing on forechecking as a team rather than just a few players and pushing the defense higher. This seemed to work, as we scored shortly after the second half began to make it 1:1. The momentum didn’t last, though, as we conceded again and were trailing 1:2.

Despite the frustration, I managed to create a perfect goal-scoring opportunity for Max with a backpass from the left. Later, I linked up with him again, and he passed to Trent, who scored to put us ahead 3:2. Toward the end, Trent sent me a great pass behind the defense, and I scored from a sharp angle, catching their goalkeeper off guard.

All four goals were the result of teamwork between Max, Trent, and me. We secured the win, and now we’re set for the playoffs in two weeks!
