News
Only one more away game left out of the two road games, KURDISTAN faced River Plate at Shoreline Stadium on 9/28/03.  At 9:00AM the game started and KURDISTAN players realized from the previous week that winning the game won't be easy if they don't score early in the game.

KURDISTAN forwards knew what to do right from the start of the game.  On the 4th minute Sulaiman Sulaiman took his first shot and scored;  Sulaiman Mehvan with the assist.  KURDISTAN took advantage of the situation after leading early in the game.   20 minutes after scoring the first goal, sulaiman Sulaiman gave the ball to Omer Salar in the 18-yard box and Salar took a shot, which opponent's goalie couldn't even think about catching it!! Second goal for KURDISTAN was on the scoreboard.

Before first half ended, Sulaiman Sulaiman knew two goals won't be enough and he was hungry for more goals!!  On 36th minute, Sindi Moayid gave Sulaiman a nice pass from the middle field.  After shaking to defenders, Sulaiman then faced goalie and scored the third goal!  Shocking first half ended for RIVER PLATE with the score 0-3, KURDISTAN with the lead.

Three goals for KURDISTAN, it was not a problem for Mohammed Abdullah to start the second half.  Only 8 minutes into the second half, 53rd minute, a penalty kick was given to RIVER PLATE and of course they scored.  Only 9 minutes later, 62nd minute, RIVER PLATE scored their second goal!  KURDISTAN tried to defend the lead with the score 3-2.  69th minute, Omer Salar crossed the ball and Sulaiman couldn't get to the ball, but he didn't gave up the hat-trick!  Sulaiman ran hard to the far-post and then dove to reach the ball and scored an astonishing goal to quiet down RIVER PLATE!
But RIVER PLATE was still on a role after scoring two goals.  On 71st minute RIVER PLATE scored their 3rd goal to change the score to 3-4.  KURDISTAN then changed the goalie, bringing in Sulaiman Salim who started the first the game.   Omer Salar secured the win on 87th minute with the 5th goal for KURDISTAN.  After all KURDISTAN did win the second game of the two-game road trip.  After the game there  was nothing but party for KURDISTAN, in the Stadiums parking lot. Amazingly, a few RIVER PLATE players stayed at the parking and had a few drinks of their own before leaving!!
