Week 4 (Dec. 2nd & 3rd)La Bombonera, ARG
This weekend Fiorentina traveled south of the border and beat a
very good Boca Junior team 4-2. Daniel McDonald opened the scoring
for FFC late in the first half with an assist from Dakota Hendrickson.
A new addition to the team this season Hendrickson came alive in
the second half finding the back of the net twice. The first goal
was assisted by Patrick Higginson and the second was a model of
passing as both Higginson and Ben Janecek were credited with assists.
The final goal of the game came from Ryan Miller on a wonderful
solo effort. Boca Junior was able to get on the board in the second
half after missing a penalty kick but scored immediately following
up on the rebound. In a post game interview team manager Ron Carson
said "I was so impressed with my teams play today. Carlos Salcedo
was a 'Super Man' in the goal and Ben Janecek may have played the
best game I have ever seen out of him. Jacobbie Mengel and Pat Linafelter
played some very spirited defense in this game. We have some young
players that really came alive today." Fiorentina looks to
keep the momentum rolling as they travel to Germany to face a very
strong Bayern Munchen squad.
Fiorentina Goals: McDonald 1, Hendrickson 2, Miller 1
Fiorentina Assists: Higginson 2, Janecek 1, Hendrickson 1

The Spurs came to play today as they scored in the first minute
of the game. But the highly skilled Bremen men took one back 2 minutes
later with a beautiful backdoor run and finish. Totenham regrouped
and finished the half with a 7-3 lead. With goalie Alex Durbin out
on loan, Luke Jatczak played well in goal the first half and came
out on the field to score 2 goals in the second. John Lee had 4
goals to lead all scorers. Hunter Gorby had 3, and Ryan Lynch had
1 goal and 3 assists. Second half goalie, Conner Jackson held the
Bremen men to only one goal and distributed the ball quickly to
lead many of the counter attacks from the back. Other Spurs with
goals were Jason Hiemer, Charlie Landon, and Sam Rath. Spurs take
on coach Potter's Everton team next week.
