IN A VERY CLOSE AND WELL PLAYED GAME NY SALAMINA DEFEATED A WORTHY OPPONENT, MONSERRATE 2-0. SALAMINA HAD A NUMBER OF OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FIRST HALF TO OPEN THE SCORE ESPECIALLY THE ONE ON ONE WITH CARBON THAT ENDED WITH A SHOT HITTING THE POST. THE FIRST HALF ENDED 0-0 WITH MONSRRATE PRESSING EARLY IN THE SECOND HALF. JUNIOR HERRERA WITH TWO INCREDIBLE DIVING SAVES KEPT MONSERRATE OFF THE BOARD ...UNTIL THE OPPORTUNITY STRUCK FOR SALAMINA. THE NEW AND IMPROVED MEMO ARBELAEZ WITH A CLEVER FINISH AFTER A THRU PASS FROM ALEX ZORRILLA FOUND THE NET AND GAVE THE REDS THE LEAD 1-0.
SALAMINA CONTINUED TO DEFEND AND ONE MINUTE FROM TIME, CARBON FROM REAL CLOSE GAVE HIS TEAM A 2-0 CAP TO AN IMPORTANT VICTORY IN THE FOREST HILLS INDOOR LEAGUE.THE THREE POINTS BRING SALAMINA STEP CLOSER TO THE TOP, ONLY THREE POINTS FROM FIRST PLACE!
