KORABI – Missile FC 4:0 (3:0)
Goals: Ridvan Mehmeti, Albert Ruci, Inka, Shpend Kaja

Staten Island, NY – December 5 2010 – On a cold Sunday afternoon Korabi defeated Missile FC with a score of 4:0 at the new Broadway field in Staten Island. The win keeps Korabi on top of Metro-1 league with 21 points and a good sign after two consecutive losses, in State Cup competition and in Metro-1 league against Mr. Dennehey’s.

Korabi started pressuring Missile FC and on the 12th minute a cross from Berat Islami found Albert Ruci who unselfishly laid a back pass to newcomer Ridvan Mehmeti whose shot found the net for a 1:0 lead and an excellent start with his new team. Five minutes later Albert Ruci broke through on the left side and increased the lead to 2:0, and then Inka tallied for a 3:0 lead. On the 38th minute a penalty was called against Korabi, but a great diving save by Korabi goalkeeper Ozzie, kept the shutout alive at the first half.

In the second half the game was pretty even until the 81st minute when a Berat Islami pass found Shpendi Kaja breaking in and a left footed low shot beat Missile goalkeeper and increased the Korabi lead to 4:0. Missile FC had a couple of flurries late in the game with one hitting the left side post and one going wide to the right before the game ended.

As always, the game against Missle FC turns out to be a physical game and a great effort in standing up to the physical part of the game were midfielders Agim, Albert, Darien, Felipe, Berat and defenders Russo, Ridvan and Inka in helping Ozzie keep the shutout.
