Farragut 2, Curie 0-If Clemente Lima thinks his soccer team might be too confident, he has a good reason why.
”Last time we played them (Curie), we won 5-0,” said Lima, Farragut`s head coach. ”I was hoping we wouldn`t be too confident this time.”
Farragut`s confidence almost led to a Public League quarterfinal loss Monday. But thanks to two fourth-quarter goals by Miguel Villasenor, Farragut remained in the hunt for the league title by defeating Curie 2-0.
Goalies David Ordoz and Ruben Gallardo split the shutout. Farragut
(15-7-2) moves to semifinal action Thursday, when it faces Amundsen at Hanson Stadium.
Amundsen 2, Clemente 1-Amundsen (14-1-1) rallied from a 1-0 deficit with two fourth-quarter goals, one by Martin Youkhana on a penalty kick and the game-winner by Carlos Ovando with 12 minutes left.
Amundsen coach Richard Straka was confident in his players. ”I knew we had a strong defense, so I took a chance and moved some defenders up (to score),” he said.
Hector Morales scored his 14th goal for Clemente. Amundsen advances to Thursday`s semifinals against Farragut.
Roosevelt 2, Schurz 1-Roosevelt advanced to the Public League semifinals when it beat Schurz on penalty kicks.
The game ended in a 1-1 tie before Roosevelt outshot Schurz 6-4 in the penalty-kick segment.
