First Men's League Soccer Game: 9-3 Win Against Brazilians

We won our Men's league soccer game tonight 9-3 against the previously undefeated Brazilian team. According to our coach this team also won the Acton Indoor Men's league last session and went undefeated in that league. Seeing the kids walk on the field I knew it would be difficult. The first half certainly proved to be that difficult as we reached halftime leading only 4-2 in a hard fought game. In the second half, the Brazilians scored right away to make it 4-3 giving them great momentum. However, after that we woke up and scored 5 unanswered goals to win 9-3. I played about 15 minutes of the first half, and all 25 minutes of the second half. It was a very tiring game, but great exercise.
