Our 2018 PDL season started off strong with 3 goals scored before the second half by 3 different players. The Buffalo have multiple players with the ability to finalize, making our 2018 season look very promising. Augusto Maciel scored at just 4 minutes into the game vs Weston FC and we didn’t stop there. Leonardo Paiva score at the 28th minute and Felipe Antonio at the 31st all before halftime. Coach Anderson pleased with the first half performance gave several players a chance to go in at the second half which remained scoreless on both sides.
The coaches felt that last night's result was a direct reflection of the time theyhad to come together. During the US Open game, there were barely a few daysto prepare. Coach Jim Flores was happy with the team's performance saying“the hard work and commitment has been rewarded."
