Bay Area Ambassadors Rout San Francisco Stompers

March 27, 2012 - PRLog -- The Ambassadors needed to score four goals to ensure their advancement into the next stage of qualification. They wasted no time scoring their first goal within the first minute. The Ambassadors broke down the Stompers immediately getting the ball down the sideline and crossing it in the box where the goalie cleared the ball straight to Dylan Leslie who volleyed it into the back of the net from the top of the box. Later in the half, the Ambassadors found the net once again off a great effort by Bryan Walle who brought the score to 2-0 before the half.

The Ambassadors needed to push for two more goals in the second half. Juan Cardenas had the scoring touch for the Ambassadors finishing a cross from the right side. The Ambassadors would not need to wait long before scoring again when Dylan Leslie beat the last defender before slipping the past the Stompers’ goalie for his second of the night. The goals would keep coming for the Ambassadors as Bryan Walle, Juan Cardenas, and Francis Lopez each scored goals until the final score line was 8-0.

With all the offensive firepower the Ambassadors displayed, their defense was just as impressive. Jordan Keyes and Victor Ceja-Orozco anchored the backline keeping the Stompers scoreless. Yousef Samy also made his debut for the Ambassadors this season after returning from injury. Ambassadors’ goalie Doug Herrick only had to make two saves to keep the shutout.

The Ambassadors will return to action Saturday, March 31 as they face the Sacramento Gold for a bid into the U.S. Open Cup.
