New York Pancyprian Freedoms Secure Hard-Fought Victory Over NYAC at Belson Stadium
The New York Pancyprian Freedoms continued their winning streak in the Eastern Premier Soccer League with a determined 1-0 victory over New York Athletic Club on Sunday, November 24th, at Belson Stadium. The tightly contested match was ultimately decided in the 73rd minute, when Matthew Forster delivered the decisive goal to break through NYAC's disciplined defensive setup. The win keeps the Pancyprians in first place by three points with a game in hand.
From the opening whistle, NYAC adopted a defensive posture, sitting deep and making it exceedingly difficult for the Pancyprians to find attacking opportunities. Despite dominating possession and pressing relentlessly, the Freedoms struggled to break down the well-organized NYAC backline. However, persistence paid off late in the second half. Forster capitalized on a brief lapse in NYAC's defense to slot home a pass from Harry Cooke, sending the Pancyprians' fans into a frenzy.
Earlier in the day, NYPF II set the tone with a commanding 4-1 victory over NYAC II. The star of the match was Kontstantinos Karousis, who found the net twice in a standout performance. The team's attacking dynamism and clinical finishing were on full display, securing an emphatic win in the Cosmopoltan Soccer League and adding to the club's successful day at Belson Stadium.
Next up, the New York Pancyprian Freedoms take on Richmond County FC (2-2-4) on Sunday December 1st at 8pm at Belson Stadium.
