Legends beat Slammers PA. Legends dominated start to finish but didn’t execute and score their chances. Legends Clearly had 10 or more clear goal scoring chances each half and slammers defended extremely well and either had defenders make crucial blocks, keeper making big time saves, or shots hitting crossbar or going just wide. Slammers sat in hoping to counter out and I believe had 2 shots the entire game. Slammers is much improved though and will make noise in state cup. Eagles beat slammers PA 4-1 but it was 1-1 at half with slammers clearly having more chances to score. Second half eagles had a pk and a Great outside shot and slammers played much of their bench more minutes. Eagles just beat slammers Crowley only 1-0 so I’m a little surprised at that score line.
Typical of Eagles to not over run the score when they have the game under control and do not feel the other team is a threat. However I do think that 1-0 is cutting it close. Slammers PA have good defense. It was a similar situation when we played them over the summer. We got surprised with a direct ball and long shot from the outside by their striker and towards the end of the game they threw a long ball behind the midfield and it bounced over the goalies head. While we had most of the attempts and shots at goal with possession of the ball. Soccer is an unfair sport. You can do everything right for the whole game and be so close to scoring yet miss. But it takes 1 breakdown from the team or a mistake and the team that did not deserve to win gets the win. Congratulations to your Legends team and good luck tomorrow. I'm sure you guys have a great squad and I can't wait until our teams play each other.
