Gjoa/Istria tops Sachem, 4-2

The Gjoa/Istria boys’ U-14 team beat Sachem Warriors, 4-2, Sunday in a well-played game at Brooklyn’s Dyker Park, in an Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association third-round State Cup match.

Rilwan (Rex) Salawu scored a hat trick with a goal and a penalty kick in the first half and a beautiful goal in the early minutes of the second half, set up by Michael Ryan and a nice pass by Willmer Barona.

The last goal was a great piece of work by Edwin Osorno. The defense of John Gallego, Chris Sanchez, Jon Whitehead and Mauricio Duran played excellent throughout the game.

It was a good exhibition of youth soccer by both sides.
