League Game 20: Santa Cruz Breakers vs CFR CLUJ

The Breakers are coming away from an impressive 2-0 victory over the league leading Werder Bremen team from Germany. With only a few games left, the Breakers are looking a lot stronger in their second half as their team is beginning to gel and play like a real team.



Their next match in front of the home crowd is CFR CLUJ. In their first match against each other, the Breakers came away with the 1-0 victory. They hope to pull off another win and give their home town fans more to cheer about!


The match began quickly as Chow (34) took a strong shot on goal, but couldn't get it past the keeper.


Both teams had a few shots on goal in the first half, but only CFR CLUJ was able to find the back of the net with a great goal at the 41'.

The second half of play had both teams playing fairly aggressive.


The Breakers were finally able to break away as Bock (33) nearly made a header, but the goalie was able to just tip the ball out of play.


E. Chow (63) took a beautiful pass from Chow (34) and barley missed a shot of his own attempting to tie the match up!


Finally, Sabatini (3) was able to score the equalizer at the 74' from a beautiful pass by Manning (16).


With plenty of time left in the match, CFR CLUJ created a solid scoring opportunity, but it ended well past Desi (5) the keeper and the game ended in a 1-1 draw.


The fans of the Breakers were a bit disappointed since Santa Cruz had 8 shots on goal and 5 on target, but only was able to get the one goal that at least tied the match up and let them walk away with the draw!
