FC Takwaba survived a late fight back from So-Cal Real FC to maintain their unbeaten start to the season. In a lackluster affair, FCT appeared to be in control for much of the game especially after an early goal from Jason Thompson – the lively center midfielder contributed to some neat work in and around the box before finishing past a helpless keeper. Thompson then turned creator as he slipped an intelligent ball through to Brett Taylor. Taylor took a couple of touches before unleashing a venomous strike with his left foot leaving the keeper no chance. FCT appeared to have put the game to bed midway through the second half as once again Taylor found the back of the net after rounding the keeper and slotting the ball home unchallenged. Complacency then crept into an already below average performance that allowed So-Cal Real FC to pull back two goals in the final 15 minutes. Thankfully, FCT held onto for a 3-2 victory that in reality could have been a lot more with a little more quality and luck in front of goal.
