Finally able
to get a good day to reschedule, SC1924 was able to
finally play Romanian Galaxy and their Superstar,
Costea Decu. only 11 players were to be had for the
SportClub side, so they had their work cut out for
them against this strong team. The Romanian's got
off to a quick 2-0 lead by some good footwork from
Decu, and getting into space quicker than the Sport
club side. A good through ball from Kevin Hofinger
kept Rolando Vata onside and he got the 1-2 goal.
The Romanians extended their lead again to two, but
another through pass, this time from Vata to Mike
Fabbri got the Clubbers within one again, 3-2. Decu
subbed in and put the 4-2 goal in before the
halftime break. The highlight of the second half was
Joe Wargo defending Decu well, keeping him off the
score sheet, but they couldn't keep all of the
Romanians off as they were able to extend their lead
to 5-2 and that is how it ended. Roberto Pelini
played keeper in place of Don Bleuenstein, and was
able to stop many shots, but the defense couldn't
clear a few rebounds otherwise the score may have
been much closer. "I was surprised how well we did
play against them with only 11" team manager Chris
Stockman said. "Decu is a hard player to defend, so
if you focus on him then you leave the ret of their
team open. If we would have had any subs today, I
feel like we could have made it more interesting for
them."
