The Sky Blues went top of the table after four straight wins as six different players got on the scoresheet in a 7-2 drubbing at Green Lake.
Impact handed debuts to new signings Marty Klingebiel, Jamie Watts, and long lost Seattle Central favorite Jakhongir Ashuraliev. Johnny Kummer, who was picked up on a free transfer after an all-male road trip to Vegas, has yet to make an appearance for the club as he is still waiting for his U-Haul truck to arrive from Idaho. Team manager Totev also saw the opportunity to experiment with a different formation against rock bottom Foster Kids and opted for AC Milan's famous Christmas tree with hella subs to spare.
Even with a solid 3-0 lead at half-time the formation didn't quite work the way it was intended and by the start of the second half Impact had reverted back to their familiar 4-4-2 that had secured 9 points the first three games. Marty grabbed the opening goal with a stunning header similar to Lionel Messi's goal in the Champions League final last year from a pin-point cross by Jose Chi. Chris Allen got the second after Totev's delicate chip put him through on goal. If you need a proper description of Allen's finish, please skim through the previous match reports. Totev took his tally to four goals in as many games off a long clearance by Adam Siebenaler that was poorly dealt with by the defense. The midfielder made the most of the situation and slotted the ball low past the goalkeeper.
The second half turned out to be somewhat of a mess, but there were still lots of positives to take from it as Impact kept on adding goals to their first half advantage. Tristan Traywick stated in an exclusive interview with King 5's Paul Silvi last week that he would like to get on the scoresheet soon, bro. He got his wish when Marty's accurate cross found his forehead and with a confident header he managed to get it over the goalie and in. Foster Kids pulled one back after some horrendous mistakes in the Impact back four, which quite frankly was unnecessary for Pete's sake and also meant no donut for Dominick on the day.
Blake Ambrose rose to the occasion in the second half and showed the Green Lake faithful why he has been dubbed The Wunderkind of our generation by the Laurelhurst beach club. His first came from a quick Traywick throw-in that landed in Blake's path, he then went on to diddle a couple of defenders before coolly finishing off the move. Jamie was soon after clumsily pushed in the back by the opponent's keeper and earned Impact a penalty kick. The stage was set for the return of Jak who made no mistake from the spot. Manager Totev received a thank you note from the skilled midfielder's family in Uzbekistan for the generous gesture of letting their son get off the mark in his first game for the club. Foster Kids would get another goal before Ambrose rounded off a good display by pouncing on a perfectly weighted through-ball by Jak and getting his second goal of the afternoon.
In recent news, soon-to-be New Yorker Maison Choi caught a glimpse of the Impact Washington headquarters in Mukilteo on his way to a Korean barbecue and noticed that the main offices were only slightly bigger than the company's logo on our jerseys. The team's sponsor stated that they're willing to offer Choi a job with decent pay if he can fit inside a dollhouse.
