Sunday saw an early 09H00 start in Belém for our U15 A team against the CP Ladies, a game where both teams played with kicking backs.

Three minutes in to the match a LC shot found a CP defenders foot on the goal line and a penalty was awarded in our favor. Captain Vicente stepped up and scored the first goal of the game. On the 11th minute of the game, John found a gap in the CP defense and dribbled through the circle to the back line and flicked the ball in to the goal, scoring the second goal of the match. A CP attack saw a near certain goal against us, but a diving save from Kim kept the ball out.

Near the end of the 1st half, another penalty was awarded to the LC, but the CP kicking back saved John’s strike, tacking us into halftime leading 0-2. The second half proved to be a bit of a stale mate, and only in the last two minutes of the game we won two short corners, both drag flicked in to the net by John.
