Austrian Sport Club 1924 B (4)
vs. Intra B (6)
On a sunny wind stricken day in a far away land - Brighton, The Sports Club B team battled the Seagulls in a fierce match! To sum up the game, it boiled down to who had the fresher legs, Sports Club B team only had one sub which ultimately cost them the game. Quoting various players from the team, “We just got too tired and started to make too many physical and mental mistakes to overcome. Getting 2 goals disallowed by very questionable offside’s calls didn't help our cause either. We battled the entire game and deserved a better result.” The B team went down 2 goals early in the game before scoring our first goal. Lee Scradden battled his way past a few guys from the rightback position. He got the ball to Ron Karam. Ron continued the great individual play that Lee started. Ron beat a few guys before slotting the ball home while getting taken down from behind near the penalty spot. Ron Karam later tied the game with his 2nd goal with a nice assist from Markus Brown. After giving up a late goal, we were down 3-2 at halftime. it seemed like every time the Sports Club B team got close, they allowed a quick goal back. The Sports Club went down 4 to 2 before they scored their 3rd goal (that counted!) Chris Noe had a nice one-time, left footed shot directly from a Ron Karam throw-in deep in our offensive zone. Sports Club B scored their 4th goal late in the game to make the final 6-4. Joe Walters sent a long free kick from our own half of the field to about the penalty box. Ron Karam sent a flick-on header to Jim Russo who got it under control and volleyed it home.
