2008 NSL Week 10: 

Sunday August 3, 2008:  Warta "A" vs Dep. Colomex - Libertyville Field #14

 

Warta finaly gets three points after beating Deportivo Colomex on their home soil by the scor of 6:3..  This is the game that the team needed to break thru to get their first points of the season.  The win did not come easy, a well and speedy forwards of Colomex caused much problems to the tired legs of Warta defense as they had a hard workout on Friday practice game vs Riverside High School.
Colomex drew the first blood as they scored off a defensive mistake in the back line, soon after that Marcin Sierak scored his first goal while rejoining the old teammates this summer.  Later a great surging run by the team captain Andy Ozlanski who was brought down in the penalty box gave Sierak an opportunity to give his side a lead and he did, executing the penalty kick well.  Minutes later Colomex found they way back into this game with an equalizer from another defensive mistake and it was leveled but Sierak completed his hat trick with a great goal of his own before the half time whistle.

In the second half the team played well moving the ball around opening chances and Lukasz Zukowski who missed two great first half chances scored two quick goals to extend the lead to 5:2.  Colomex kept the pressure on and got one back half way thru the half as the fast paced forwards came thru the tired legs of Warta defenders.  With minutes left another great run by Andy Ozlanski gave Warta a corner kick at the other end, and a great diving header by Greg Stephenson sneaked the ball by the helpless keeper to make sure Warta will walk away with their first win of the season.

Warta were missing some of their starting players again, especially the keeper who Lukasz Borys had to replace again and made some great saves to keep his team in the game and with a lead.

The win gives Warta hopes to remain in the Major Division as they showed great soccer, and started to execute better chances on goal with Zukowski and Sierak back up front.

Game Roster: L. Borys  - Teluch, Ozlanski, Lasek, Halic, Bungo, Maier, Wojciaczyk, Stephenson, Sierak, Zukowski.
