Cape Express Elite U23’s 4, OC Nor’Easters 1
In the battle of Cape May County, host Cape Express Elite won in convincing fashion over visiting Ocean City. Joe Fala started things off after winning a great tackle just outside the box, then dribbling toward goal and slotting the ball far post. Brendan Forrest scored with seconds remaining in the first half when Victor Figueroa made a heads up play to steal the ball from the OC keeper who was waiting for the halftime whistle with the ball at his feet. Figueroa found Forrest who capitalized on the error. Sal Zampirri would put the Elite up by 3 after scoring on a cheeky set piece from the far right side that deceived the goalie and beat him far post. OC would go on the score on a missed clear but the game never really got close. Christian Rafter put home a header off a brilliant assist from Brendan MacFarlane who sent the ball in from the right side to a well-positioned Rafter.
This game concluded the inaugural season for the Cape Express U23 Men’s team which finished with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses, and second place in the division.
