Spanish Newcomer Karlos decides game with 2 goals on his Debut
We were happy to welcome 12 newcomers to our Saturday social soccer game at Centro Deportivo Benito Juarez. Under best weather conditions the international group of 23 people split into two teams. The several newcomers Ferdinand, Adrian, Fer, Samuel, Vivien, Jesus (all MX), Mati (ARG), Karlos (ESP), Karyn (US), and Corentin, Raphael and Tomás from France were distributed equally to both teams. Team 1 played with forwarders Karlos from Spain and Marcello from Brazil, alongside with 9 more players from Mexico, the US, Canada, Argentina and France. Team 2 was not a less wilder mix of people, consisting of players from India, El Salvador, the US, and of course France and Mexico. Tomas and Ferdinand started as goalkeepers for both teams.

US-boy Danny with the Goal opener!
In the first half both teams tried to understand their team mates, their positions and the opponents playing style. Passes were tried to kept simple and promising chances occurred due to misunderstandings in the defense of the teams. The first goal of the game was scored by US-boy Danny. Since his debut about two months ago Danny has been a constant players of our social soccer games. His playing style is continually improving. On Saturday he rewarded himself and his team with the first goal of the game.
Karlos, Marco and Ruben score for Team 1
After the half time break the game got very interesting. Now both teams lost their patience and focused on scoring a goal, no matter what it takes. Team 1, organized by Will from the defense, who occasionally left his central back position to take more influence in the midfield, soon scored more goals. Especially the striker duo Karlos and Marcello always managed to make themselves available when their team was attacking. While Marcello opened up the space with his runs, Karlos new how to define. The newcomer from Spain scored two goals for his team. Mexican Marcos, who came in for Samuel in the first half, scored another goal for Team 1. Samuel unluckily injured himself a bit while almost scoring a goal after a solo run. Salsa dancer Ruben-Rubinski scored his second goal in a row after his glorious goal of the year from last weekend.
Manni-Mourinho also finds the Net
Player coach Manni-Mourinho was able to at least score one goal for his team, not leaving the team with a zero scoresheet. The Indian defender of Team International and Jakeventus got restless in the second half and decided to interpret his game like Dani Alves, incorporating himself pretty much in all attacking actions of his team. Right midfielder Raphael therefore stepped back to the right defender position.
Overall it was a very friendly and fair 11-a-side game under best weather conditions at one of the best pitches in Mexico City. We are looking forward to welcome more high potential players from Mexico and other places of the world at the next games.
* This Saturday we will have an official game between Jakeventus and Karlsruher SC captained by Fer. The players for Jakeventus are currently evaluated and can join the game via the Sport12 app.
