OM OQUIRRH FIELD, May 7, 2011 - Olympique Montreux Premiership team maintained an undefeated record by beating F.C. Gunners 1-0 on Saturday.
Captain David Chevez scored on a well-taken penalty kick in the 20th minute after forward Leo Oliveira was sent tumbling by the keeper inside the six-yard box.
"We will now get ready for Utah Refugee All-stars on Wednesday, " Midfielder Ivan Marcos Olmedo said. "The important thing is that we keep winning.”
Olympian coach Bel-Ami de Montreux was missing several players due to nagging injuries and absence. Ace forward Estaban Lecueno was nursing a thigh injury while defenseman Mike Smith and Parker Haycock were rested.
Without shining, the Olympians controlled possession throughout and defended well as the Gunners used their speed to penetrate several times in the danger zone.
OM goalkeeper Jaddon Rogers, also know as JR-1, was tested and had to deploy his full size to parry a dangerous shot in the 35th minute and was forced again to dive to deflect a dipping strike at the 67th minute.
No. 9 David Chevez and forward Isai Tapia had good shots but the Gunners keeper was up to the task.
"We tried our best to augment the score but we kept coming short,” said Bel-Ami, whose team defeated Pan World last Saturday 6-1 with a brace by Estaban and goals by Leo Oliveira, Alan Ruelas, Spencer Whipple and Steve McMurdie.
The side will be in action against the Utah Refugees Allstars on Wednesday and will face Utah State University a.k.a RuckUSU on Saturday.
