With their offensive woes still plaguing them, the (0-4) Knights were hoping to get things jump started as they took on the (3-0-1) Wizards in the JCC of Bayonne Indoor Soccer Jr. Division. After another strong start on defense, the Knights inability to muster points once again sealed their fate. With almost 20 scoreless minutes on the clock, the Wizards offense began to gain ground as Christian Benson drilled in two quick goals off assists by Ereny Gabreal and Amy Gabreal. Trailing 2-0, the Knights tried to ramp things up by sending Nathan Caballero, Aviv Talmor, Joyce Gabreal, and Amir Asouti into the Wizards’ zone but brilliant goal tending by David Matos, Anthony Baez, and Sebastian Echeverry kept the Knights advance scoreless. With their net under lockdown, the Wizards surged in two more goals as Amy Gabreal and Christian Benson put their squad up 4-0. Still hoping to get on the board, the Knights had their chances as Vedant Gopalan and Louai Asouti lent their talents to the offensive ranks but once again the Wizards’ defense hunkered down to preserve the 4-0 victory.
