Cavs drop points in final minute
Despite tieing up the game late in the first half, the Cavs couldn't hold on to the tie.
Chileans first goal was well struck from outside the 18 yard box. a high cross found an unmarked chilean forward who hit the ball one time as it came down, leaving Devin no chance.
Kasdorf had 2 glorious goal scoring opportunities, but failed to convert 2 times.
3rd time is a charm. a ball was brought forward to the far end and crossed over to an unmarked matt, who headed the ball at the far post past the chilean keeper.
Jeff was sent off for his second yellow card with 20 minutes left. The Cavs failed to mount a successful attack and in the 89th minute, collapsed defensively as the chileans crossed the ball to the top of the 18 yard box and the chilean player made no mistake smashing the ball into the top corner.
The cavs hope to rebound when the face stonewall united at the winnipeg soccer complex on june 25th.
Cavs record 2nd Win in a row
Cavs go back to back!
On the heels of the first win of the season, the Cavs came out firing against the St. James Hurricane. After Kris "Hooty" Huth intercepted a pass on the left wing he headed straight for the 18 yard box and slid a perfect pass across to a charging Jake Peloquin who fired the ball into the back of the net.
The Cavs kept the pressure on and were denied on two great chances when a shot by Abdel Khalboubi rang off the crossbar and a beautiful left footed blast from Matt Towns also hit the bar. Wade Knight placed a perfect shot along the ground on net from his right back position and got past the screened Hurricane keeper to put the Cavs up 2-0 at the half.
After a few subs at half the Cavs came out a little flat and gave up a mysterious goal to St. James to make the score 2-1. The Cavs players thought the ball went in through the side of the net and should be disallowed but the referee showed a brilliant demonstration showing there was no hole and indeed the goal was allowed. Cavs GK Devin McAuley was quoted as saying "WTF happened??!!"
Chances were missed by both sides and the final whistle blew with the Cavs hanging on to their second 2-1 victory in a row.
Cavs record first win!
A well worked corner in the dying minutes of the game allowed Kildonan to record their first win of 2010.
The Cavs got onto the scoreboard first late in the first half. Rob Burns brought down a loose ball just past centre, and quickly lobbed the ball behind the Dynamo backline to an onrushing Abdel. Abdel beat the defender adn struck the ball low and to the near post beating the Dynamo keeper.
Dynamo controlled the balance of play in the first half but couldn't hit the net.
Devin started in net and made some terrific saves to keep it 1-0 for the Cavs.
The Cavs made a mistake on a failed corner and Dynamo punished them on the counter-attack.
Dynamo cleared the corner and caught the Cavs defense flat footed. The dynamo forward was quicker then the cavs backline and beat gurjeet on the short side.
While the game looked like it was going to a tie, constant pressure from the Cavs resulted in a corner. Rob boyce and Jake did a quick, intelligent corner playing 1-2, allowing jake to walk to the edge of the 18 and put a delicate chip to the far post which was met by Rich "NINJA" Thomas, who headed into the net giving Kildonan their win.
Next up is St.James Hurricanes on tuesday the 17th.
