Sunday Pickup Game (13:11)

Early morning (7:15 AM) Sunday pickup game.

Scott announced that the game was being moved from Reata Fields to Mountain View Park, where we would play with another group. I do not know whether he had low attendance because of Labor Day weekend, or if he simply wanted only his team at Reata because the fall league season is approaching and he is very serious about it.

After football, I went to EOS Fitness with Martin. He swam and I went to the SPA.

Note

Only Chat and I from our group came. They split us up evenly. He went to the whites and I went to the reds. My black shirt was not suitable, so they gave me an Arsenal jersey:) We played three halves because they play with two water breaks. In each half, I scored two goals, so 6 in total. I played in the middle with Luigi and we were dominating.

My goals in the first half are not worth mentioning, because they were just tap-ins, though not quite from the goal line. But in the second half, I ran down the left side, out-sprinted the defender, and tucked it in from an angle near the right post. I was happy with this goal. In the third half I scored two nice goals. The first was a deflected ball toward the corner flag, which everyone considered lost. I sprinted to it, brought it into the box, and again shot from an angle.

My last goal was a masterclass. Luigi went to them so I had to play defender-sweeper. I won the ball and went through all the players and finished with a shot under the goalie's hand. Toward the end, the game got a bit dramatic. Luigi gave them more strength and shifted the balance of power. We were worried about the result, but we held on to the victory!
