Hellenic United AC | Chicago, IL

Hellenic United will be well represented this weekend at the 2009 Schwaben AC Tournament. Both the Men's Team, as well as the Over 30s will be competing in one of the best tourneys Illinois has to offer. Teams across the USA along with a couple of English Teams, will make their presence felt as well.

Here are the Groups and Schedules for the July 11th / 12th Weekend Tournament:

Midfielder Goran Guzina came off the bench to score two second half goals and newcomer Tim Balatsoukas assisted on Alen Smjecanin's game tying tally in the 92nd minute, as HU rallied from a 2-0 deficit to tie section leader Deportivo Meridienne 3-3 at College of Du Page on June 21st. It was HU's fourth tie this year, leaving the Major Division newcomer with seven points total in six matches. HU is tied with Gazelle and FC Steaua for third place in the Blue Section, but has a game in hand on Gazelle and leads Steaua in the tiebreaker.
 
HU played last years regular season champion on even terms in the first half, but a brilliant long range strike in the 44th minute gave the visitors a 1-0 lead going into halftime. It was the second time this year HU has given up a goal right before halftime.

The "Green Cats" were never able to cause HUAC any trouble and were sent home empty-handed...

First Half

HUAC started the match with attacking intentions and needed only 2 minutes to create the first chance of the game. Mario Mele went by his opponent on the right and sent in a sweet cross for Terry Cirbo, who only just missed the ball.

Gato Verde tested Evan Laskaris for the first time after four minutes. A shot by a Gato Verde player was picked up with ease by the HUAC goalie.

Terry Cirbo found the net after seven minutes with a placed effort from close range.
