Cleveland 1 – Impact 2
By: Franck | September 5th, 2009
This should have been easier than that. At times, it seemed like the Impact were falling asleep on the field, and thus letting the City Stars get too close to the goal.
I can’t say that I enjoy watching a soccer match on an american football field. I’m sure the players don’t enjoy it playing on it much either, especially the Impact, used to playing on their real grass field at Saputo Stadium. The ball bounces more than on a real pitch, and it seems to me that it slows the pace a bit.
Keeper Srdjan Djekanovic got the start. Head coach Marc Dos Santos started with a 4-3-3 formation, with Joqueviel and Pesoli as central defenders, Braz and Zanzan as laterals, Gatti, Di Lorenzo and Ciaran O’Brien in the midfield, and Biello, Brown and Byers up front. I feel that Zanzan needs to play more, because every time he makes a start after not having played for a while, his playing appears confused and sloppy. Patrick Leduc made his first appearance in over a year in the 71st minute.
Brown put one in the back of the net in the 23rd minute off a cross from Byers. Gueye, off a corner in the 37th minute, put it past Djekanovic. Brown scored again in the 69th, heading Di Lorenzo’s center.
That three more points in the bank, and unless Miami wins tonight, we’re assured to make the playoffs. Will we face the Railhawks, the Battery or the Islanders???

Thank you! Your nickname leads to Guingamp’s UK site…are you a fan of theirs? I got to see them play at the Big O in Montreal this summer.
