HUAC "White" took on last year's 2nd Division Champions Brusfa FC this past Sunday hoping for the chanceĀ that would redeem the team after a disappointing loss to the start of the season against current 1st Division Red Section leaders Das Magic.
Due to the "Mother's Day" holiday HUAC was only able to muster a 12 player roster who in turn put in a great performance against a strong Brusfa FC side.
HUAC was able to take control of the game right from the start and kept that momentum going for the most part of the first half finishing off with a couple quality opportunities.
One of them came in the 35th minute of the game when Ryan Widell won a free kick outside of the Brusfa FC penalty box after completing a strong run. Widell was also the one to deliver the kick that send the ball screaching towards the top corner of the Brusfa goal to open the scoreline for HUAC at 1-0 before the end of the first 45.

Sometimes it is hard to understand what initiated such a collapse after the 70th minute of the game against FC Soccer Place this past Sunday that completely destroyed the decent effort put by HUAC up to that point of the game as they were only trailing 1-0 from a breakaway goal in the 27th minute vs the much more experienced and very talented Polish side.
Coach Yiannis Kosmas spoke to the players before the game and emphasized the importance of tight marking in defense, and for the midfielders to close down spaces and not leave their opponents alone as they are deadly with their outside shooting and for the most part, HUAC followed those instructions to the letter of the law.
Call it tiredness or just a lack of concentration in the final 20 minutes of the encounter as individual errors ( and everyone needs to accept their fair share of the blame ) brought this embarrassing score line to light.
