Inter Continues Its Strong Play at CASL

Posted by Alan Olson at Nov 21, 2008 4:00PM PST ( 0 Comments )

22 Nov. '08.  Back out at the WRAL on a bright, sunny, breezy, cold morning, the Internationals faced the Wellington Wave, Florida Champs 2008.  The Wave is a solid team all around and worked hard from start to finish.  In the first half, the Internationals' vaunted defense held the Wave to no shots or corners taken while committing 4 fouls (including 1 handball).  The Internationals controlled most of the play, taking 5 shots on goal and set up 3 corner kicks while committing 12 fouls (including 3 offisdes).  Alas, at the 33 min. mark, Patrick collected a ball in the middle and threaded a needle pass through the defenders to Schillo inside the box who collect the ball near 15 yds., juked the GK and struck in the easy go-ahead goal.  

In the 2nd half, Inter's strong defense continued to shut down the Wave, once again allowing no shots or corners while committing 4 fouls (including 1 high kick).  The Internationals again controlled most of the play, taking 4 shots on goal while committing 9 fouls.  At about the 20 min. mark, Skylar collected a ball on the right side, crossed it into the box where Chris ran onto the ball to kick the ball but it took a fortuitous bounce out to Schillo around 12-15 yds. center who slammed a hard, high shot which appeared to be sailing over the cros- bar but at the last second, the GK jumped up to attempt a finger-tip save and the ball spund downward just underneath the cross-bar intot the net to put the Internationals up by two goals, and the game ended, 2-0, Internationals.

21 Nov. '08.  At the WRAL soccer complex in Raleigh on a cold, windy and mostly cloudy day and on a small, narrow pitch (Pevo/Pierce), the Internationals' first contest of the Showcase matched up with FC United Select (IL).  The Internationals kicked off in the first half with a strong cross wind blowing left to right.  At the 8 min. mark, Erik sent a ball upfield on the right to Skylar who took it to the far corner and served a nice ball into the box where Ebo collected the ball 3-4 yds. out to the left and struck in the go-ahead goal.  About 5 mins. later, Ebo received a pass in the middle, dribbled forward inside the United Select's box and passed a ball through the defense to Matt who had pushed upfield and penetrated deep into the Select's right back and fired a shot into the net to put the Interntionals up 2-0.  The United Select managed 3 shots on goal including an opportuninty after an attempt by Inter to clear a ball away was deflected to the foot of a United Select player near 18 yds. right but the hard, high shot was finger-tip saved by Seth over the cross bar for a corner kick which was unsuccessful.  The United Select committed 3 fouls while the Internationals committed 5 infractions including 2 offsides and 1 handball.  The Internationals took 6 shots on goal and 3 corner kicks and the half ended, 2-0, Inter.  In the 2nd half, the United Select managed 3 shots on goal which were unsuccessful while committing 5 fouls while the Internationals would fire 5 shots on goal and setup 3 corner kicks but all were unsuccessful whilte committing 9 fouls (including 1 offsides), and the match ended 2-0, Internationals.
