Summit FC - Deep Impact 1-3 (0-2)
0-1 Chris Allen
0-2 Blake Ambrose (Kris Totev)
0-3 Kris Totev (Blake Ambrose)
1-3
Deep Impact's multi-talented midfielder Blake Forrest Ambrose scored his first goal for the club and set up another in a convincing 3-1 win at Summit.
Being on a high from last weekend's narrow win, Impact continued in the same way and enjoyed plenty of possession in this early Sunday kick-off that had more weather changes than Al Roker could predict. At one point there was a clear indication of double rainbows. Chris Allen got the team off to a flyer with his second goal in as many games. The striker picked up a loose ball behind the defense and placed it out of reach for the opposing goalkeeper. An on-going investigation of the first goal's assist maker has been put on hold as no one seemed to claim it at the time. The review panel has decided to give the assist to the unknown entity that also seemingly pushed the Impact goalie with no one sight.
At the end of the half it was time for our number 7 to open his account. After receiving the ball from Jose Chi, Totev advanced towards the box before faking a shot and sliding it nicely through to Ambrose who dummied the defender and expedited the ball low past the goalie. The Seattle native was reportedly so excited about the goal that he rushed home to tell his parents, and was lovingly rewarded with his favorite Italian meatballs. Deep Impact in control at half-time with a 2-0 lead. The interval produced a cameo by the founder of Seattle Central Soccer Club and Donald Trump's #1 fan Toan Viradet, who was deeply impressed with the team's jerseys.
The third goal was an absolute gem that would make Arsene Wenger proud any day of the week, a move that was started and finished by Totev. Deep Impact displayed, against a helpless defense, one-touch passing at its very best involving Brian, Matt Choi and Blake, leaving the unmarked Totev with the easy job of putting the ball into the back of the net. A moment to cherish and surely a contender for team goal of the season.
Moments later, Ryan picked up his second yellow of the game and received his marching orders. The referee, who coincidentally recovered the heart of Davy Jones in the Pirates trilogy, did everything in his power to make the remainder of the game an exciting contest. Summit FC were awarded a dubious penalty kick but after two attempts the home side were not able to convert it into a consolation goal. They eventually got their breakthrough with a long ball over the Impact defense that was headed in via the post by their forward. A comfortable away win in the end and a much improved performance by Impact.
In other news, Impact was able to feature Vietnamese right-back Hieu Duong for the first time this season. The young defender decided the time was right to come out of retirement and take a break from eating his country's beloved phở and cream puffs to join up with his new teammates.
