BRADENTON, Fla. – A brace to Anthony Curran proved enough for Evolution SC to overcome FC Wichita 3-1 in the opening U13 Boys encounter at the Super Y Finals at IMG Academy on Friday Afternoon. A late comeback from FC Wichita fell just short, with Evolution holding on well for the win.

After just eight minutes Evolution opened the scoring after a long ball forward, stealing possession on a throw in. Anthony Curran was able to get on the end of a pass, running into the box, and burying it out of the reach of the keeper for an early opener.

A poor restart from Wichita was well gathered in by Curran, who was able to then run at goal, clean through of the defense. Curran easily rounded the keeper and then simply passed the ball into the back of the net, doubling his, and Evolution’s, tally.

After going 2-0 down FC Wichita started to come into the match, getting more chances at goal in the latter stages of the first half, growing in confidence. Patrick Ryu was forced into some work in the Evolution goal, but acquitted himself well, keeping it 2-0 at halftime.

In the first minute of the second half Evolution made it three goals, after some more strong work Curran forced a mistake at the back. After some slick passing opened up the space, a cross was sent in by Jacob Ryu, Curran contesting a header, Cade Martin ending up unfortunately putting it into his own net.

FC Wichita pulled a goal to get back into the match after some quick work from a free kick to get the score to 3-1. Gabriel Villegas was able to find the space, and shoot across the face, into the back of the net to set up an exciting finish.

Ramses Balderes very nearly made it a one goal game in the 65th minute as he was able to steal possession on the edge of the area, with the keeper scrambling. Baldares got around the keeper but could only find the outside of the post.
