ACSL Round 4

Angel City suffered mixed results on Saturday during Round 4 ACSL 7s action at Playa Vista.

Angel City FC started the day strongly, coming back from an early deficit to take their second win of the season against an always strong Malibu United, 6-3.  The win leaves the squad four points up on Malibu in the EPL (with three wins and a tie), needing only one more win to capture the division title.
That's What She said posted their first win on the season in the other EPL match-up, 6-3 against Mr. Snuggleton.

ACFC dropped a close 4-3 result to the Swamp Donkeys in La Liga action, having tied them 5-5 on opening day. Despite the loss ACFC remain in second place on 7 points with two games to go in the regular season topped only by the Slutty Buffalos (on 9 points), who trashed a make-piece Trenchtown United 8-1. The Donkeys have 5 points, followed by Trenchtown with 4 ... so the top two playoff spots remain open to anyone.

The final match saw a dilapidated AC Allstars, with one sub and no regular keeper, hand the One Touch Stars their first win of the season 7-4.  Sloppy keeping in the first half saw the squad down 3-1 at the half.  In the second 45 the Allstars did mount a valiant effort, but losing their lone sub to injury left the team out-manned by the 14-player One Touch side. Many of the Allstars were on their third game.

The loss sees the Allstars remaining in third spot, behind LA Plushdamentals and Real Talk, who drew 4-4 on the day.  The LA Pushdamentals, on 10 points, have more than likely sealed the Serie A title and a spot in the playoffs.  But only a single point separates the bottom three in the race for the second spot berth.

Meanwhile in LA Premier League action Saturday, Angel City dropped their sixth loss of the season, 3-0 to Valhalla.  The 3 PM kickoff time on Saturday at West LA College, definitely proved detrimental to the Allstars 7s roster.
