***Ramirez…Espindola–Connect for Game Winner!***
The South-West division is battling to a grind. Yes, the Fuego is 8-1-1 but appearances that Fresno may be in total control of their division comrades is no simplicity. Every encounter on the schedule is a battle. In Carson City, NV a 1-0 game on Thursday June 3rd, lifted the Fuego over the Wonders. Orlando Ramirez took the ball from a defender… following the steal, Ramirez touched it along to Jose Espindola which took the game winning shot in the 87th minute of regulation.
“It has been one of the toughest teams we have played.” said coach Jaime Ramirez. Considering travel, injury and the away issue, Fresno manages to slip goals past defenses in dire situations. Could it be the (asst. coach) Joel Ramirez’s rigid physical training and help of asst directives? Or is it coach Jaime’s eloquent tactic and game structure?
Fresno is winning one game at a time. This 2004 season, the South-West Division (PDL) has collected intriguing stories. New rivalries evolving in PSL play, have made the South-West a stronger division.
