Power Play Goals See Bascome's Blast Fall to Tacoma Stars
|
David Bascome Head Coach of the Baltimore Blast suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat on the road against the Tacoma Stars, with two power play goals proving critical in the Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) contest.
Neither side managed to find the back of the net during a cautious first period. However, the Blast took the lead in the second quarter when Wellington Bramusse broke the deadlock. Baltimore carried that 1-0 advantage into the halftime break.
The momentum shifted in the third period when Tacoma pulled level. Eddie Na scored a Power Play goal to make the score 1-1, capitalising on a man advantage.
The fourth period continued the drama. Tacoma took the lead when Jamael Cox scored his team’s second Power Play goal of the night, giving the Stars a 2-1 lead.
The Blast responded quickly, with Jairo Guevara finding the back of the net to level the match again at 2-2. However, Tacoma had the final say when Micheal Ramos scored what proved to be the winning goal, securing the 3-2 victory for the home side.
Head Coach Bascome, a former North Village and Bermuda winger, will look for his team to regroup quickly as they aim to avoid giving up further crucial power play goals in their upcoming fixtures.

Thrilling Draw Sees North Village Share Points with Paget
|
 North Village Rams 2 Paget Lions 2
A gripping Premier Division battle at Bernard Park saw defending champions North Village Rams forced to share the points with Paget Lions in a 2-2 draw, a result that satisfies neither side’s immediate agenda.
The game, which featured North Village attempting to take sole possession of first place and Paget looking to pull themselves out of the relegation discussion, came alive in the second half following a scoreless opening period.
Paget Lions struck first in the 52nd minute when Daniel Cook found the back of the net with a powerful volley from the edge of the box. However, the lead was short-lived; just six minutes later, North Village Rams were level, with Jalen Harvey finishing from close range.
The Paget Lions roared back in the 76th minute, reclaiming the lead after they were awarded a penalty that was confidently put away by Kion Knights.
The drama continued deep into the second half. North Village’s Harvey secured a crucial point for the champions when he levelled the score once again in the 86th minute, this time with a header to make it 2-2.
With the teams sharing the points, the North Village Rams moved level with leaders Dandy Town Hornets atop the Premier Division table. The single point was also valuable for the Paget Lions, who drew level on six points with the St. George’s Colts, providing a small but vital boost in their fight against relegation.

Trott Records Eighth Clean Sheet in Cardiff Win
|
A wonder strike from Callum Robinson secured a huge three points for Nathan Trott and his Cardiff City teammates, defeating fellow high-flyers Stevenage 1-0 on the road. The victory sees Cardiff extend their lead atop the Sky Bet English Football League One table.
The match, featuring two of the league's top sides, was decided by a moment of brilliance. Callum Robinson's spectacular strike was the only goal of the night, giving Brian Barry-Murphy’s men the vital 1-0 win.
Cardiff City were the dominant side in the first half, creating all the early chances. While the home side, Stevenage, came out with renewed vigour at the beginning of the second half, City's defence restricted them to just one half-chance.
Trott was instrumental in securing the clean sheet, recording his eighth shutout of the season so far. His performance at the back contributed to a crucial defensive effort that saw Cardiff claim a massive win.
The three points gained means Trott and his teammates are now four points clear atop the Sky Bet English Football League One table, cementing their place as early title favorites.
