Matansa FC still perfect

 Defending champion Matansa FC stretched its winning streak to three after shutting out Paire FC, 4-0, in the second game in the girls U15 division of the 2011 NMIFA Youth Football Fall League last Saturday at the San Antonio Elementary School Field.

Matansa capitalized on Paire’s defensive lapses early to notch three goals in the first half en route to its third victory in as many games. Paire dropped to a 1-0-1- win-draw-loss record.

Kimiko Tenorio nailed the first goal for Matansa from the left side of the penalty arc in the 17th minute with the ball deflecting off the hands of Paire goalie Scarlet Chen and rolling in to the left post of the goal. Then three minutes later, it was Patricia Chavez’s turn to kick the ball from the right side of the penalty arc with the leather passing through two Paire defenders and going in.

Tenorio scored her third goal a few minutes before the first half ended to give Matansa a 3-0 halftime lead. Tahlia Hideo also made it to the scoreboard with her goal in the second half.

Shirley’s FC 7, Tan Holdings FC 0

The other girls U15 game at the San Antonio pitch was also a lopsided match with Shirley’s FC topping Tan Holdings, 7-0.

Melody Johnson was unstoppable for Shirley’s FC as she drilled a hat-trick in the first half. Shirley’s FC’s four other goals were scored in the first half with Jeraldine Castillo, Alexandra Vergara, and Kyla Ito tallying one each. Shirley’s FC was also credited with an own goal to improve to a 2-0-0 card.

Tan Holdings FC absorbed its second loss in as many matches.
