Red Inter stuns Korean Futsal

Red Inter ended Korean Futsal Team’s winning run in the 2011 Saipan Soccer School Futsal League after pulling off a 6-4 upset during the men’s division game Monday night at the TSL Sports Complex.

Korean Futsal absorbed its first loss in five games, as it collapsed on defense midway in the second half, allowing Red Inter three successive goals in a span of less than 10 minutes.

David Duenas started Red Inter’s string of goals in the second half when he found himself unguarded from the left sideline and kicked the ball that rolled in. Duenas’s goal broke the deadlock and gave Red Inter a 4-3 lead.

A few minutes later, it was Arkie Reusora’s turn to score, this time making a shot from the right sideline to stretch Red Inter’s advantage, 5-3.

Red Inter players moved much quicker and were more aggressive on offense than Korean Futsal in the second half, catching the latter off guard. Red Inter’s sixth and last goal came off another breakaway play when Otsuka Masatoshi made a cross to Edwin Cruz.

A Gil Chong Koo goal in the ensuing play stopped Red Inter’s rally, however Korean Futsal ran out of time to make a big comeback and failed to keep its perfect record.

Red Inter, which also drew one goal each from Dale Roberts and Matt Holley, improved to a 3-1-1 win-loss-draw card.
