 Wizards 2-0 in Argentina/Future Games

We captured a win for the second straight day, beating Velez Sarsfield 3-2 today in rainy/chilly Argentina. We trailed at half 2-1, then scored in the 84th and 87th to capture the victory. Lineups and details below. Trujillo is with the club now but is sleeping after a long flight. Glad to hear he's joined up with the boys!

Lineup:
Hartman (Kronberg 45), Jewsbury (Lowery 60), Conrad (William 60), Wahl (Hohlbein 45), Myers (Leathers 45), Zavagnin (Souter 60), Marinelli (Kraus 60), Morsink, Harrington (McKenzie 60), Sealy (Colombano 30), Pore (DiCicco 60)

13th- Goal Velez Sarsfield (sorry no details on goal-scorers or lineups for Velez)

21st- Goal Ryan Pore. Marinelli helps create a goal for the second straight day, combining with Sealy at the top of the area before putting Pore through for a mini-breakaway. Pore then beat the 'keeper to level at 1.

38th- Goal Velez Sarsfield

84th- Goal Eloy Colombano. Colombano collected a ball near the right corner of the penalty area and curled a left-footed shot up and over the 'keeper to the back upper-90 to tie the match at 2.

87th- Goal Andrew DiCicco. Colombano played provider this time, sending a cross from the wing in to DiCicco in the center of the penalty area for snap header to win the match.

Future game updates:
We are now definitely playing River Plate Friday morning and have a game tentatively scheduled for next Tuesday against San Lorenzo. We're getting some games in against quality competition down there.

  1. Great to hear that Sealy is healthy enough to play and that Marinelli is being so productive so far. Trujillo can only add to our offense!

  2. We better sign that DiCicco kid...he's scoring like crazy! Good to see Eloy scoring as well.

  3. What happened on the two goals scored against us in the first half? I just don't like the sound of our first team defense giving up two goals in 45 minutes.

  6. Don't get your panties in a wad twhit (fitting name). These games are against reserve teams and/or substitutes. River is not going to play its first team against Colorado, especially when it has Copa Libertadores and the league going at the same time. Get a clue.
