Miami Beach, MAST Academy make GMAC final

By BILL DALEY Special to the Miami Herald

    ORDER REPRINT →

January 23, 2018 10:09 PM

After a down-to-the-wire win over TERRA 24 hours earlier, there was no such drama for the Miami Beach boys’ soccer team early Tuesday evening.

The Hi-Tides blitzed previously unbeaten Krop with four first-half goals and cruised to a 5-1 victory over the Lightning in a GMAC semifinal contest at Traz Powell Stadium.

Beach improved to 18-1-2 and moves on to Thursday night’s GMAC final where the Hi Tides will take on MAST Academy at Traz at 6 p.m. MAST knocked off Edison 2-1 in the second semifinal.

Beach, which dropped a double overtime heartbreaker to Edison in last year’s final, will be looking for its first GMAC championship since the late ’90s.

“When you can score that first goal and jump on them early, it can really set the tone and allow you to apply the pressure and that’s what happened out there tonight,” Miami Beach coach Edgar Botto said.

Beach wasted little time jumping on the Lightning when Kevin Herrera rifled a perfect centering pass from the left side in front of the net that Franklin Rivero knocked in just five minutes into the game.

Josue “Chino” Aguilar then showed why he’s the team’s leading scorer when he scored the next two goals, first popping a penalty kick in the right side in the game’s 15th minute and eight minutes later, high-kicking one in off a throw in from Francesco Tessara.

Alfredo Astaburuaga finished off Beach’s first-half scoring blitz with a turnaround short-hop bounce kick from 20 yards out two minutes before the break. After Dennis Ortega scored four minutes into the second half to make it 5-0, Beach emptied the bench.

Sonny Innocent scored Krop’s lone goal as the Lightning fell to 7-1-2.

▪ MAST Academy 2, Edison 1: The Makos proved that their 2-1 regular-season district win over defending GMAC champion Edison was no fluke as they defeated the Red Raiders again and will make their GMAC final debut on Thursday.

After William DeNight dropped a long free kick down in front of the net, Eli Knezevich managed to get his foot on a loose ball in front of the net and knocked it home to snap a 1-1 tie with 10 minutes left for the game-winner.

Rodrigo Lopez gave MAST (15-2-1) a 1-0 lead in the game’s 18th minute when he high-footed one into the top left side of the goal to give his team a 1-0 before Edison (13-3) tied it four minutes before halftime on a goal by Marcus Jacques.
