The Comets scored just one minute and 23 seconds into the game, when Nathan Aanes placed a perfect corner kick into the small box, towards the far post.  Simon Kleven was there with a header to direct the ball into the upper right corner of the Laker net.  Following the Comet goal, the Laker’s dominated the play on the field and possession until the 22 minute mark.  That is when Simon Kleven picked a loose ball up at the top of the 18 and eluded three Laker defenders and the parked bus, scoring an unassisted goal.  At 30 minutes, DL was awarded a PK, following an attacker taken down in the Comet box.  Comet Keeper, Soren Floden, deflected the shot, reading the kick perfectly.

The Comets final goal came just minutes into the second half.  Simon Kleven was attacking up the right sideline and placed a centering pass, just inside the 18.  Gabe Swedenberg was there with a nice shot, low and hard, just inside the right post, ending all scoring with the Comets up 3-0.

“The game was sloppy at times for this late point in our season,” commented Hillcrest Head Coach Rod Jensen.  “Central back, Simon Davidson, did an excellent job keeping the ball forward and breaking up the Laker Attacks.  We also had excellent efforts from midfielder, Simon Kleven, and Striker, Abram Ness, both offensively and defensively creating many DL turnovers.”

The Comets now 10-3-1, take on the EGF Green Wave, Saturday at home.
