JCFC wins home opener at new pitch..wearing Yellow!

September 17, 2007 - 01:00 PM -- By Larry RedKard Kurtz.

Wearing yellow, debuting a new home pitch and missing a large chunk of the starting eleven, JCFC began their home stand at Ferris HS field on a brisk Sunday morning with a makeshift squad due to vacations, injury and unplugged alarm clocks.OS Portugas showed up earlier than most of the City squad, which proved important, as Portugas opened the scoring in the fourth minute mark as the winger got free of the defense and placed a well struck left footed strike from 25 yards out over the JCFC keepers fingertips. JCFC seemed to lose heart, not winning many 50/50 balls and letting the Portugas players continue to hold on to the ball. Several corner kick opportunities fell by the wayside with near misses as City strikers failed to capitalize. Missing BFM on the sidelins to direct the subbing, the gaffer got in the game on the right flank, and towards the 35 minute mark, Eddie Viagra yet again crossed a ball from the left flank with his right foot, this one skimmed over the defense onto an awaiting and open Juanhaldino, who patiently gathered the ball and right footed it inside the keeper's near post.Halftime 1 to 1.The 2nd half began with JCFC dominating all over the field. JCFC continually used its fitness level to win 50/50 challenges and maintain the momentum. Attack after attack ended in no shots until finally, a long throw from Jesse was headed to the back of the box by The Goregous one where Shesh half volleyed the baall past the keeper into the right side of the goal for the winning difference.Stats. JCFC has outscored the first 2 opponents 6 to 2. Tim made some key saves shutting down the Portugas crossing opportunities. Man of the Match: Shesh, delivering the winning goal to put JCFC at the top of the North B standings at 2 wins in as many games. First caps for Adrian, Roman, and Mike. Next match away vs Essex United, and the hopes of seeing the likes of Gustavo and another token gibson in the lineup.
