Seattle WA: Cantu Group FC managed a thrilling come from behind victory over division rivals, Squirrels Saturday at beautiful Twin Ponds field in Shoreline.
CGFC continued a pattern of lethargic starts yesterday and allowed a short handed Squirrels squad to take an early lead in a game in which they should have been put away early and easily. Cantu Group FC managed a goal in the first half and allowed a second Squirrels goal in the first half as well.
The second half began with Cantu Group down 2-1, and the team began the second half with a palpable sense of greater resolve. Despite keeping possession on their opponents side of the pitch a great majority of the first 20+ minutes it still did not result in a goal.
With 18 minutes left, for whatever reason, CGFC seemed as though they flipped a switch and decided to actually play up to their ability. They rattled off 3 goals in just under 7 minutes and went on to win 4-2. Cantu Group FC now stands at 5-4 in spring play with 1 game left.
Jonathan Diaz scored 2 goals, and Michael Williams and Kelly Boskee each scored 1.
