The English boys soccer team fell behind early in a tough test at Greater Boston League foe Somerville Tuesday and despite battling back in the second half, couldn’t make up for it in a 5-2 loss.
“We really got off to a slow start,” English coach Kerry King said. “It was 4-0 in the first half. We had a couple defensive breakdowns and lost our composure out there. But in the second half we did come out and score the first two goals and really make a game out of it.”
Those goals came from Allen Pablo and Joshua Chez. English had some more chances to make it a one goal game later in the second half, but fell short.
“Overall I was impressed,” King said. “We found our identity a bit more in that second half. We’re still trying to work out where everyone goes and what’s going to be our best fit going forward. But I’m impressed with the heart in the second half. The team really responded when they needed to and I think moving forward that can help us.”
