WEEK 4: Strengths and Weakness Beginning to Show

BOXSCORES
CAPITAL DISTRICT 3 ALAMO CITY 2 - The first leg of the 2011 BSL Classic was filled with the kind of tension you'd expect in this derby. Alamo City opened the scoring when Hassli scored on a PK. However, that goal was taken away when he foolishly was red carded from the match. So a man down the Battle would have to wait an see if this mistake would cost the team. David Ferreira would re-open the scoring with 2 goals and Alamo City was sitting with a 2-0 lead. Then the Gunners fought back off of scores from Castillo and Rosales. As the match progressed it was looking like these two clubs would end up in a third straight tie. However, in the final minutes of the game, "Camino" Sanvezzo would score the game winner. The Hassli red card would indeed cost the Battle a point in the standings.

SECOND CITY 7 GOLD COAST 2 - The Stars are 3-0-0 after a thrashing of Gold Coast FC. Even before Brad Davis poured on 3 assists by himself, Second City was grooving with goals and assists from another 4 position players. Gold Coast tried to fight back, but could only get as close as 3-2 before the game became a blowout.

PENNSYLVANIA 4 ALLIANCE 3 -The best game of the week might have been this one. Both expansion clubs went back and forth all week. The Stoners started with White's goal and assist to take a 2-0 lead. Then the Lions countered with Magee and Chavez. The Stoners reclaimed the lead when Puerari scored, but the Lions would once again equalize off a Torres goal. Then 20 minutes later Mondragon got his 3rd clean sheet of the season for the game winner. Pennsylvania has now won 3 in a row after losing opening day.

BURUD TOWN 3 UNION SC 1 -New year, new result as the Stags finally defeated Union SC. Steve Zakuani opened the scoring and Hartman's clean sheet built a 2-0 lead. The Blues would cut into the lead when Wondolowski scored, but that was all the champs could muster. Burud Town added some insurance with Bruins goal even though the game was already decided. The champions are now 1-3-0 to start the season and the worst start in Blues history.

GATEWAY UNITED 4 PN RANGERS 0 -The Saints remain in first place after winning 4-0 for the second week in a row to improve to 4-0-0 on the season. Charlie Davies had another penalty kick to add to his total, and both the Saints Keepers had impressive showings showing the depth this club has at the Keeper position. Alan Gordon seems to like Toronto as he scored another goal.
