Game Comments: 

South City returned to action after the Thanksgiving holiday to play JASA Dos in a key matchup before heading into the winter break. SSF came out hard with a high tempo but found it difficult to break JASA down. South City had the majority of the possession but couldn't quite finish in the final third of the pitch. JASA had some good counter attacking, but their final shots at goal were off target. SSF started to create some decent chances as halftime approached which saw the match stand at 0-0 after 45 minutes,

The second half started much the same way, but JASA started to tire and Greg Hui and Sam Nadell had more space to work in and sent some solid balls into the box. Finally, South City struck with a nice goal as Hui beat a few players with some clever footwork and played a smart ball into Cory Schmidt who smashed home a rocket into the bottom corner.

JASA were still a threat on the counter attack and got rewarded when their striker got a touch on the ball and flicked it off a South City defenders hand for a penalty kick. The PK was converted into the corner of the net to level the match at 1-1. With just five minutes left in the match, and South City pushing for the win, Schmidt made an excellent challenge on a JASA defender and played a perfectly weighted ball across the field to find Sam Nadell who kept his composure and slotted home the winner to rescue the 3 points for SSF. JASA tried to answer, but SSF stayed strong to finish out the match with a badly needed victory.

SSFAC now takes time off to enjoy the Holiday season and returns to action on Sunday January 12, when they travel to Palo Alto to take on PASC.
