FK Dinamo 2 Real Santa Monica 1 (9-8 on PKs)

Not exactly the preferred way to start the League Cup, but win pretty, win ugly, just win.  Kudos to the cleaning crew for picking up all of the nail trimmings after this nail biter AND to Dayle for retrieving the newly purchased game ball from art gallery’s roof!

Dinamo Red Star (Rutkin, Villasenor) | 2 – 1 | Playa Rovers

Moving on from a disappointing tournament exit, Red Star took a huge step in the right direction by announcing their presence in the South Bay Sports League.  Recent and new additions (Welk, Agius, Gunderson, Bergman, Manuel) along with an old stalwart (Adrian) help make the arrival LOUD & CLEAR.

From the 1st whistle to the last, Red Star dominated possession and dictated play.  The flow was a bit messy at times with new chemistry created among the ranks, but periods of solid passing and decision making were a welcoming sight.  Commitment to the team was clear in payment of dues, IDs and attendance and it is no surprise really that the same commitment carried on to the field.

At the start of the 2nd half Rutkin broke into the box and flicked the opening goal past their wild arms keeper.  Ten minutes or so later, a corner was won by Red Star and Villasenor charged from the center back position just in time to get in the box to receive the deflected kick which he promptly lofted back in the net with his weaker left foot, 2-0.

Rovers were awarded a consolation PK for a soft foul on the 18 that the linesman deemed inside the box.  The end scoreline didn’t fully represent the game as Gunderson and Neild both peppered the goal and more accurately the post on several occasions.

A solid start requires an even better follow up.  Game on this Saturday!


Tournament: Dinamo Red Star 1 – 2 Dogtown Athletic

Match Report –   27 February 2011
Dinamo Red Star (Wilson) | 1 – 2 | Dogtown Athletic

Playing 2 tournament games in a single day requires a full roster and yet a depleted Red Star courageously took the field to battle with twelve fellow comrades.  In the end, injury, fatigue and an empty bench proved to be too much for the side to overcome.

Both teams missed early PKs and although Red Star looked the more menacing team, Dogtown capitalized on the remaining questionable calls that went their way.  The flow of play was managed well enough by the head official, but the all of the big calls went Dogtown’s way.  Sometimes that is just how the ball bounces.

Down 2-0, Red Star dug deep to press forward and press forward they did indeed.  Posts were hit, chances missed and constant pressure put them on their back heals.  Their defensive mindset worked out in the end as Neil’s rocket shot, upper left from 20 out, was too little too late.
