League Game 19: Santa Cruz Breakers vs Werder Bremen

The Breakers are coming off a horribly played match against Stade Rennais F.C. who won 3-0. Unfortunately, the Breakers next match against Werder Bremen isn't expected to be any easier.

The first time the Breakers met Werder Bremen, they lost 4-0. Although the score 4-0 sounds horrible, the match was a bit closer since 2 of 4 goals came within the final few minutes of play.



The Breakers fans were hoping for an upset as they cheered on their team!



The Breakers shocked Werder Bremen with a very early goal by Manning (16) at the 8'. The first and early goal of a match usually goes against the Breakers who have been notorious in allowing their opponent the first strike of a match.


The early goal was setup perfectly by a wonderful pass from Bock (33) to Manning (16) which left the goalie utterly confused.


Werder Bremen continued to play hard, but the Breakers caught their second break of the match at the 35' when Chow (34) scored the second and final goal of the match.



The play again was set up from another brilliant pass from Bock (33) to Chow (34) who initially shot the ball through a defenders leg into the back of the net. Amazing shot and the crown literally went wild!

The rest of the match was actually heavily dominated by a number of solid offensive attacks by Werder Bremen. The Breakers defense must be credited for their wonderful defensive strength especially to Desi (5) the keeper who took 9 shots on goal and 4 being on target.

The match ended with a 2-0 win by the Breakers, who ironically only had 4 shots on goal and 2 being on target for goals.


The Breakers need to be satisfied with their strong victory and showing against one of the leagues strongest teams who has guaranteed themselves a finish in the Top 3 of League C, Division 2 which will allow them to move up to Division 1 of League C.
