TCFC's wide 4-3-3 challenged the Beer Engine defense with strong hold up play and quick counter attacks, but the defense was resolute and snuffed out a majority of the opposition attacks. The defense was dominant in the air, tidy in the tackle, and quick to smother any passes in the defensive third of the field. Goalkeeper Jake was not called upon regularly during the game. But when a TCFC winger broke into the box with the ball, Jake showed his sharp reflexes and one on one skill in rushing out to cut down the attacker's angle and pushing his shot just wide of the post.
The good guys eventually broke down the opposing team and notched four more goals. Nico displayed his skill in attack by lofting a shot over the keeper from outside the box and later dancing through the TCFC defenders and burying a shot low into the corner. JJ, with three assists to his credit, rounded off a fine performance by tickling the twine with a powerful strike.
The newly promoted Beer Engines have been performing above expectations with four wins from their first four games. In the post-match press conference, player/manager/playa Chris attributed the team's fine form to a harmonious dressing room. Sterner challenges surely await, but the squad seems to be firing on all cylinders at the moment.
