(West Sacramento CA.- March 10, 2012)–Sacramento Gold FC squared off against Real San Jose in a Lamar Hunt U.S Open Cup Qualifying match on Saturday, March 10, 2012 at River City High School. Sacramento came out on top 2-0; both goals where scored by Manolo Piña in the first half of competition.
Piña lit up the scoreboard in the 29th minute after an assist from defender Jon Jones.
Slipping behind the back line, Piña was able to collect the pass and beat the San Jose goalie for the easy tap in.
In the 36th minute Gold FC forward Oscar Sandoval snuck out into the flank and delivered a pin-point cross to the pouncing Piña. After trapping the ball, Piña was able to hit a right-footed shot past the-once-again beaten San Jose goal tender.
The second half continued to be dominated by Sacramento. With a stingy defense and with constant ball possession, Gold FC was able to attack from all angles. In the end, after countless Real goalkeeper saves, San Jose was able to keep the score 0-2.
Gold FC Head coach Ruben Mora Jr., recognized the team effort but is focused on working out some of the kinks. Stating, “We are happy with the outcome, but at times we looked a little rusty. The season crept up on us quick and it’s going to take some time, but we will find our rhythm.”
Up next Sacramento will host North Coast Tsunami on March 24, 2012 at 7pm in River City High School.
Gold FC will open regular season play in April. Further team and season detail will be posted at www.sacramentogoldfc.com
