Game report: Ukrainian National Karpaty (October 23rd)

Game 6166, home vs. Ukrainian National Karpaty

The rematch part of the season is in full swing, and after opening the season up at Karpaty, ACU welcomed the Ukies to Ardsley Park. Mike P got on the board quickly for Maroon with a goal (4') that was set up by a corner kick a minute prior. Jimmy G took the shot that forced a corner, then took the corner, and also got the assist on Mike's goal. The Ukies turned around and went upfield for two shots on goal (5' and 6'), but keeper Steven H was not seriously tested. Both teams fell silent for about ten minutes, and then Nate, Harry, and Jimmy steadily built up an attack that culminated in ACU's second goal (19'), booted home by Harry on another Jimmy assist. The Ukies regained their composure around the 25th minute, taking two shots and requiring Steven to make a save, but they were unable to score.

The second half was opened up with a shot (35') by Brad T, who would go on to take four shots in total during the half. Nick S joined in with two more shots of his own (39' and 62'). Meanwhile, Jimmy and Mike were kept busy with corner kicks - seven of them in total during the half, coming in clumps around the 42nd, 55th, and 61st minutes. The Ukies challenged Steven and the defense again with multiple shots around the 47th minute, which Steven ably answered with two saves. Karpaty got in three more shots, but it was AC United who had the last word, with Nate slamming home a third goal on a monster throw-in from Kyle. Final score ACU 3:0 Karpaty.
