Salt Lake City, UT. (May 4, 2008)---Number 10 Angel Cicero powered Olympique Montreux’s First Division team [OM D1] to a 6-0 win over FC Crisnet in Utah Soccer Association action last Saturday at Westpointe Park.

The talented Spaniard hit the back of the net three times as he predicted before the game.

The win came after previous victories over Von Trapp Athletico (3-2) and Bosnia USA (4-0). The side had lost its opener (2-1) against Rush Elite 2 last month.

“Nine points from 4 games is a good start of the season for our new team. We came close to winning the first game despite facing most of Rush Elite’s Premiership players,” said D1 captain Victhor Suarez who tallied two of the goals.

17 year-old Chris Biscupovich scored the other goal on a superb volley from a Cicero cross.

The D1 team played a rapid passing game and maintained an overwhelming percentage of the possession.

The total pressure on FC Crisnet produced 17 corner kicks in favor of the Olympians.

The defense was solid as new man Wellington Teixeira quickly settled into the team to help thwart nearly all efforts the Crisnetians attempted.

Keeper Spencer Zubal who came in at the hour mark to replace Shaun Fuhriman, had to make three brilliant saves near the end of the game to guarantee the Olympians a clean sheet.

Premiership Team Drops Points, FAILS TO TAKE FIRST PLACE

In the second game of the day, Bosnia USA came from behind to earn a tie win [3-3] against a disorganized Olympique Montreux Premiership team that missed a great opportunity to move to the top of the standings.

It was the first time in five seasons in all competitions and tournaments that the Bosnian side had ever scored a goal against an Olympique Montreux team.

The Bosnian team played with an unfamiliar discipline and outclassed the Olympians with their organization and desire to defeat the defending champion.

Unlike never before, Bosnia USA did not commit any unnecessary fouls. There were no cheap shots and no arguments with the referees. The players were professionals and courteous.

Their forwards were able to penetrate and create numerous uncomfortable moments for Bel-Ami’s men.

Their midfield operator, number 10 Branislav Nicolic, earned man of the match honors.  Sasha Vidic, an OM 2002 alumnus, was outstanding at left back until he had to leave the game with an injury.

Even Adis Alagic delivered a clean performance.

Go figure!

“I have said before that if Bosnia USA ever starts playing soccer instead of losing their cool and getting unnecessary red cards, they will be a dangerous side,” said OM manager Bel-Ami.

“They actually proved it last night. Hopefully, they did not put it together just to play one good game against us. I hope they can play like this against all the other big teams. If they do, the rest of the Premiership better beware.”
