Doxa 3 – FC Takwaba 1

Doxa returned to CSL action on Sunday, and came away with a valuable 3-1 win over an unbeaten FC Takwaba in CSL action. The team could have easily suffered a hangover from the Angels Final loss the night before, and FC Takwaba had their chances. Some fine goalkeeping from man of the match Justin Commins helped Doxa throughout the game.

Goal of the game went to Steve Chirgwin, who put Doxa 1-0 up midway throughout the first half by chipping the keeper from outside the area.

Doxa Fall in Angels Final; 2-1 in Overtime

Doxa fell to a tough 2-1 loss in the Angels Confrontational final this weekend. The game stood at 1-0 Doxa with 10 minutes left on the clock. But San Nicholas found an equalizer, and a goal in the first half of overtime. The game ended in controversy as Doxa were denied a definite penalty, with the referee choosing to play “advantage” as the ball fell to another Doxa player outside the box. A pretty unbelievable decision!

Doxa’s goal on the night came compliments of Steve Chirgwin, who dribbled past 3 players to the top of the box, before slotting a shot in the sidenetting with the outside of his boot!

Nevertheless, Doxa fought hard and can be greatful for a successful inaugural season in the Angels Confrontational league!

Doxa 5 – Misioneros 1

Doxa put together a magnificent second half performance on Saturday night to book their place in the final of the Angels Confrontational league. The final will be played on February 18th, at 6pm.

Going into the break down 1-0, Doxa rallied and banged in 5 unanswered second half goals for their second victory of the season over Misioneros. The first goal came following a cross from the left, with a ball reaching Steve Chirgwin on the back post. Chirgy took a touch, before drilling a ball across the box to Bryan Byrne, who flicked the ball in with a back heel to make it 1-1. Less than 5 minutes later, it was captain Derk Droze who headed in what could be one of the most important goals of the season. With momentum on their side, Doxa’s Andrew Villalobos corner was glanced home by Droze on the near post.

The third goal came from a Steve Chirgwin through-ball, as he feed the speedy Bryan Byrne into a 1 vs 1 with the keeper. Byrne kept a cool head, rounded the keeper and slotted the ball home. The fourth was set up by the same combo of players, with Chirgwins feed allowing Byrne to beat two defenders before playing the ball back to the top of the box. Ryan Taylor and Gurgen Adzemian both found space, but it was the latter who let the ball roll across his body before coolly slipping into the bottom corner. The nail in the coffin came with 10 minutes to go, and it was well worth waiting for! An Andrew Marinez corner found a wide open Ryan Taylor in the box – but with time on his side, Taylor decided not to take a touch and duly volleyed home spectacularly – sealing a terrific all around performance from Doxa.

The final on February 18th will feature Doxa Italia vs San Nicolas. All support is very much welcomed!

Doxa 4 – LA Crew 2

Doxa marched into the semi final of the Angels Confrontational league with a solid 4-2 win on Sunday over the LA Crew. Early on, Doxa actually went behind to a goal from former player Arthur Aghasyan but slowly worked their way back into the game before half time. The first goal came after some terrific work from Devin Toohey. Toohey battled with Crew defenders on the corner and won the ball back through hard graft and laid it back to Bryan Bynre. Byrne crossed to Derk Droze who’s header was palmed by the keeper into the path of Gabe Valencia. The striker took it in his stride and drilled it over the Crew keeper. It didn’t take long for Doxa to take the lead. The assist came from an unlikely source – a punt from Doxa keeper Aaron Perez. Droze battle some defenders before the ball bounced between an unrushing Byrne and Crew keeper. After nipping it just over the keeper, Byrne finished. 2-1 Doxa. The 3rd goal was nearly a carbon copy, except Droze got his head on this one and the ball fell in the path of Byrne again. With the keeper on his way out, Byrne chipped the ball over him and into the net.

Doxa started a little slow in the second, and allowed LA Crew back into the game with another goal coming from a former Doxa player, this time Travis Bowen. After some back and forth action, Doxa finally got the 4th they needed to secure the game. Johnny Alcaraz picked the ball up on the right before cutting in and dinking a ball over the top to Eric Meister. Meister flicked the ball across the box to Devin Toohey, who gratefully stroked home his 4th goal in 3 games!

Doxa take on Misioneros this weekend in the Semi-final, the game is slated for a 6pm kick off time.
