WEEKEND CLUB RECAP - 10/04/20 Matches

We had some successes and faced some adversary this weekend. Here’s what happened:

10/04/2020 Matches (with updated team records)
FC Denver Men (5-1-0) vs Rush Colorado
Result: 8-0 Win
Goals: Boyle (3), Veillette (2), Babiak (2), Castillo
Story: Our Men’s 1st team wasn’t messing around yesterday. A dominant team performance with the playoffs coming soon.

FC Denver Women (2-2-1) vs FC Boulder
Result: 1-4 Loss
Goals: Slattery
Story: Another game, another quick FC Denver goal to set the tone. A pass from Devitt to a Slattery resulted in a goal in the 4th minute. After the initial 15 minutes though, our women were competitive but lon the backfoot as Boulder had more possession and looked more dangerous. The game was close until about the 75th minute when the pressing of FC Denver took a toll and the tired legs saw two late goals allowed.

Player of Match: Katie Marcheso with relentless work defending and attacking down the righ wing.

FC Denver U23 (4-0-1) vs Colorado Rovers Elite
Result: 1-1 Tie
Goals: Khalif
Story: A frustrating day for our our young men. We didn’t play up to our expectations and let the refs and opposition get the better of our focus. We still managed to walk away with a point and retain top position in the Colorado Premier League Elite Division standings.

Player of the Match: Malek Abusina, who put the team on his back for parts of the game in a true captains performance.

FC Denver Legends (4-1-0) vs Oldshack FC
Result: 4-2 Win
Goals: Firebaugh, Carneiro, Martinson, Miller
Story: Oldshack played a strong and direct style that tested our O30’s. It wasn’t the best Legends display, but the team fought hard and kept their cool when things could have gotten heated.
