Play against Western Illinois
Today we played against Southwestern Illinois State. The game was really exciting and we were able to win it 1-0 in the end.
I was replaced in the second half, and my coach said to me, “Go in and spin the game.” No pressure, right? 😅 But that only motivated me more.
In the 69th minute came my moment: My first ball contact! I handed the ball to Takuma Kiuchi and he shot it perfectly in the corner – the Victory Gate! Our defenses kept great afterwards, and we saved the lead over time.
Mega feeling to lead the team to victory!
Preliminary ruling against Maimi Dade
Our home game against Miami Dade College, the team from Downtown Miami, was postponed to October 5 due to the hurricane – perfect for a real conference derby. It was about everything, the supremacy in the regional league was at stake.
This time I was at the start from the beginning and was able to put myself in the scene well. The first half was actually great for us, we went twice in the lead, but Miami Dade did not let up.
I had my best scene in the 68th minute. I got a pass in the run, perfect for a 1-on-1 against the goalkeeper. I wanted to do it impudently and tried to slap the ball over him. But the Keeper came out quickly, and my Lupfer was defused in the air. I just have to do it, man, that should have been 3:1!
Despite our two-time lead, we ended up losing 3-2. Annoying. Now we have to win the upcoming games in order to have another chance at the top. Full speed!
