Internationals Unbeaten at VCCL
14 Dec. '08. For its 3rd match on Sun. morning, the skies were sunny and a bit warmer with calmer winds. The Internationals faced its friends and foe, Carolina 91 Select (NC), whom it had battled in a hard-fought, nail-biter match in the USCS National Cup VI Championship 2007, edging the Carolina 91 Select, 2-1, in the final minute. Inter expected Carolina 91 Select team to be focused and to play hard throughout match until the end as it did in 2007. The Internationals were not disappointed as the Carolina team played with intense determination. In the 1st half, the Carolina team moved the ball and managed 6 shots on goal, indlucing a couple of free kicks from 20 yds. and 30 yds. out which went awry and 1 dangerous corner kick which Seth punched away. Carolina 91 Select committed 8 fouls (including a YC shown to #19 for a hard foul). Inter had its chances as well, taking 6 shots on goal and setup 2 corners. Vitalis rcvd a ball on the on the left and took a hard shot which just missed wide left and Mike sent a blast from the middle near 20 yds. center which the GK finger-tip saved for a corner kick. Vitalis would find the net at the 30 min. mark off of a strike near 22 yds. on the left. At about the 42 min. mark, Vitalis served a left corner kick into the goal mouth where it was deflected out by the GK and Ebo struck in a close shot to put the Internationals up, 2-0. Inter committed 9 fouls (including YC’s shown to Patrick and Erik, 1 handball and 2 offsides).
In the 2nd half, the Carolina team were held to 2 shots on goal including a shot which Seth made a goal-saving finger-tip save, and 3 corner kicks but all were unsuccessful. Carolina Select committed 7 fouls (including 1 offsides) while Inter committed 9 fouls (including 2 offsides and a RC shown to Schillo at the 15 min. mark for a stunt by a Carolina player falling backwards and pulling Schillo's elbow to his upper torso just before a set play by Inter). Subsequently, Pat served the free kick into the box where Erik timed his jump up to head strike in a shot to put Inter up, 3-0. Inter took 5 shots on goal and 6 corner kicks, but would finish just the lone score off the set play at the 15 min. mark, and the match ended, 3-0, Inter.
