Real Salt Lake U-15/16 defeat Nomads SC U-15/16

Grande Sports Academy - Real Salt Lake - Fito Ovalle (3)CASA GRANDE, Ariz. – Real Salt Lake – Arizona U-15/16’s second half substitutes helped propel the home side to a 4-2 win over Nomads SC U-15/16 at the Grande Sports World on Sunday afternoon.

Midway through the second half, substitutes Alejandro Parra and Danny Moreno provided the combination for the Claret-and-Cobalt’s match winning goal in the 61st minute. Parra collected the ball in Nomads SC U-15/16’s half and played to Alex Knox down the left-wing, who then cut a defender and cross to the top of the box. The ball bounced to Danny Moreno, who slotted Fito Ovalle in the box for a far post finish.

Minutes later Ovalle punished Nomads SC U-15/17 again when he charged through the midfield and played a through ball for Evan Waldrep, who slotted a shot into the right-side netting.

RSL-AZ U-15/16’s second half comeback was due in part for rare under-performance in the first half in which they allowed two goals. The most goals the U-15/16s have given up in a single match at home all season.

The visitors scored the opening goal in the 9th minute when a Nomads SC U-15/16 player converted a penalty after he was taken down from behind in the box. RSL-AZ U-15/16 quickly answered the deficit five minutes later on a fortunate Nomads SC U-15/16 deflection into the back of the net from a powerful Alex Knox cross from the right-wing.

RSL U-15/16 took the lead in the 33rd minute on a Kris Fourcand goal from an Alex Knox through ball. Moments before the half, Nomads SC U-15/16 scored an equalizer before the half on an unfortunate RSL-AZ U-15/16 defensive blunder.

RSL-AZ U-15/16 will return to action on Saturday, April 26th at home against the the LA Galaxy U-15/16.

Grande Sports Academy - Real Salt Lake - Real So Cal - Danny AcostaTHOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – The Real Salt Lake – Arizona U-15/16 Academy team continued its impressive run of form in 2014 defeating Real So Cal U-15/16, 1-0, on Sunday morning at Oak Park High School.

Josh Doughty scored the lone goal in the match while RSL-AZ goalkeeper Christian Herrera earned his 13th clean sheet on the season.

Doughty’s match winning goal was scored in the 7th minute when he collected a loose ball on top of the box and took a touch to his right before he unleashed a powerful shot that hit a defender and was then rerouted into the back of the net.

The match started to slow down after the goal and other than Diego Silva shot in the 19 minute, chances in the first half were limited for both sides.

After the restart the second half was more of the same. RSL-AZ U-15/16’s defense limited Real So Cal to minor chances and a shot from outside the box that was not threatening in the 51st minute. Silva, Danny Acosta and Fahot Yogol all had looks, but their shots missed the mark.

Real So Cal moved all their players forward in the final minutes, but it was not enough as the Claret-and-Cobalt held on for the victory which was RSL-AZ U-15/16’s 16th on the season in 20 matches played.

RSL-AZ U-15/16 will face Nomads SC on Sunday, April 6th at the Grande Sports World with kick off set for 1:30 PM.
