Next Academy Palm Beach 1–2 The Villages SC
We swam past the Next Academy Palm Beach this past Saturday and now have 6 points in 2 away games. It rained the whole game so the ball moved a lot different than the players are used to. Coach Anderson walked the field prior to the match and told the players the areas they should avoid.
The “Bermuda triangle” became the reference to an area of the field where quick balls came to a complete stop. The fix, long balls. They started to send long balls instead of the team’s usual passing style and the goals followed. The first Buffalo goal was scored after a very long ball from goalkeeper Paulo Pita that went all the way to forward Leonardo Paiva at the 33rd minute. During the beginning of the second half, Felipe Antonio scored with an assist from Gabriel Cabral.
Three days after opening the season with a 3–0, three more points away from home.
12' — Palm Beach took the lead.
33' — we levelled, and went in at 1–1.
52' — we scored the winner.
2–1.
Two from two to start the season, six points, and five goals scored to one conceded.
