Despite extremely vocal support from the entire Lewisham squad, FC Juventus couldn't pull off the required result against the highly organised and efficient Solar SC side. FC Juventus looked promising in the opening ten or fifteen minutes, but once the opening breakaway goal went Solar's way and a Juventus defender had collected a straight red card, there was only ever going to be one winner. In the end, Solar ran out 4-0 winners against a tired and dispirited FC Juventus, and far more importantly edged Lewisham out of top spot in the group, and thereby out of the tournament. Solar's next opponents will be the Andromeda academy coached by our own former head coach Aaron Jacob. What a matchup that might have been had we gone through instead of Solar: Dan Thomas vs Aaron Jacob, and we could have dragged Aaron's predecessor, Alex Ingelthorpe, away from managing the Spurs squad here at the tournament to referee!
The boys are of course extremely disappointed, but they do have two tasty friendly fixtures to look forward to. The first will be against the highly rated IMG academy side from Florida (recent winners of this tournament), and the second a talented Utah State side on Saturday.
