Doxa Italia 2 – So-Cal Real 1

Doxa had to come from behind on a very windy Sunday afternoon at PV High to claim all 3 points vs So-Cal. It proved to be a tough day to move the ball for both teams and became a game of long ball.

Both Doxa goals came from Gabe Valencia in the second half, with the second goal goal coming from a “give-and-go” off the post!

Hard Fought Away Win Versus So-Cal Real

Doxa had to battle hard in order to win 2-1 away to So-Cal Real on Sunday morning. The first goal came less than 5 minutes in, when Bryan Byrne was taken down just inside the penalty area. Pete Hazdovac stepped up and dispatched the penalty in style. So-Cal responded pretty soon after to make it 1-1. Steve Merker was causing a nuisance up top, and had one or two looks to get Doxa back into the lead. Hazdovac also had the ball in the back of the net at one stage only for the linesman to flag offside. Brandon Avery made some stunning saves to keep the scores tied at half time.

The second half was a completely different story, with Doxa creating wave after wave of attack. The second goal came after a sweeping move from the back. Marcus Watson found Byrne at the halfway line, Byrne found Raul Palomares on the wing who crossed to Ilia Nazarov. Nazarov’s first shot was blocked, only for the rebound to fall nicely at his feet and he blasted it into the top corner. Shortly after, Doxa should have had a second penalty when Byrne was taken out in the box – only for Masa Kaneda riffled the rebounding ball over the cross bar. Rumor has it he already thought the ref had blown his whistle (ahem). Another goal was controversially called offside when a corner was knocked on by Eric Meister to head of Ilia Nazarov and into the back of the net. Good win on the road!

5-1 Win Vs So-Cal Real FC

Doxa Italia 5 So-Cal Real FC 1

Behind an Eric Meister double, Doxa continue 100% record.

A strong Doxa team made it 4 wins from 4 on the season with a convincing 5-1 win over league newcomers So-Cal Real. After failing to find a pass in the first 20 minutes of the game, Steve Chirgwin hit a screamer from the top of the box on a half volley to give Doxa the lead. Half time came with the score at 1-0.

Early in the second half it was Eric Meister who gave Doxa the 2-0 lead, and shortly after he made it 3-0 meeting the ball on the back post, heading it onto the post, picking up the rebound and placing it by the keeper. That allowed Doxa to make several substitutions, the left the team shaky for 10 minutes. During that period, So-Cal had several good chances and got on the board with a screamer from just outside the area that left Brian Burdue flapping. The birthday man then gave a kick out straight to a So-Cal forward – and the game could easily have been 3-2 only for the striker to knock it over the bar.

Shortly after, Doxa got back into a rhythm and made it 4-1 when Kamikaze Yuki getting on the end of a Sean Lockhart cross. The game was wrapped up with 10 minutes left when a Marcus Chorvat corner was met by the head of Zach Roberts, who made it 2 goals in 2 games.

Next week see a top of the table clash, with Doxa heading to play at Corona.
