Playing old-time rivals Matador FC in a second game this week, the ACFC over-30s squad notched their second straight draw, coming back from a 3-1 second-half deficit to finish up 3-3.
ACFC started the match well, closing down the Matador strikers early and making several positive incursions into the opponents' goalmouth. In the later stages of the half the home side saw themselves up by a goal with David Woirhaye converting a Greg Medzger effort about 10 minutes from time.
The second half saw a minor breakdown in communication between the defence and midfield ... a predicament which resulted in three successive goals from a forward-pressing Matador.
But if ACFC's first three matches in the LA Premier League have shown anything, its that the squad has heart. The side gradually regained control of the ball -- and a large percentage of the overall possession. Forward checking saw recent acquisition Andrew MacDonald knock in a goal off a Dan Klein effort, after Klein took the ball up from the defensive area, combining a bit of individual ball skill with a large dose of determination.
About five minutes from the final whistle, MacDonald struck again, heading the ball past a sprawling Matador keeper off a long ball from Greg Medzger.
The team now has a record of one win, two ties and loss in their first four official LAPL outings.
ACFC next sees action June 19 against second-place FC Valhalla at the Santa Monica Airport field with a 7:30 pm kickoff time.
