Webb Knocks off Carl 2-1

In another nail-biter, the Cards took on our neighbors and district rivals, Carl Junction Thursday night. Despite multiple injuries, the Cards played their hearts out all game. As we expected, it was a very physical and emotional match. It always is when these two teams get together. the team that possessed the ball prevailed. 

The game started off back and forth with some good attacks from both sides. Carlos Reyes opened up scoring for Webb with a nice shot to the far post that found net. CJ answered back with a shot from distance that snuck past keeper Thomas Foster. With the game tied, the Cards held their ground kept it together and were able to get a goal just before halftime as Jeremy Heuertz found a deflection off a Cody Hawks free kick and finished the job. The second half saw emotions rise as both teams were trying hard to attack with little success.

The Cardinals focused their second half on possessing the ball and preserving the lead, and managed to get some great attacks as a result of settling down and playing fundamental soccer. Defense held strong and with the help of seven saves by Foster, the Cards held on for the win. Great Job!
