Crown Villa FC returned home victorious on Saturday following an away win against Real Overland Park. The match was a challenging 90-minute contest marked by fluctuating play, with the wind significantly influencing the game. Crown Villa initiated the match with strong attacks but missed opportunities and impressive saves kept Real Overland Park competitive. During the halftime break, Head Coach Marcos Rodriguez urged the team to maintain focus, emphasizing that a single opportunity for the opposition could disrupt their momentum. He also stressed the importance of capitalizing on scoring chances after several missed opportunities. In the second half, CVFC had multiple opportunities flagged for offside as Real Overland Park employed an aggressive high line in pursuit of a goal. Late in the second half, a Real Overland Park free kick was intercepted by right-back substitute Ethan Peeples, who passed to central defensive midfielder Jefferson Rios. Rios skillfully maneuvered past a strong challenge and found #23 Tommy Velazquez, who made a quick outside-of-the-foot pass to winger Kiana Babako. Although Babako faced the goalkeeper one-on-one, he unselfishly passed the ball across the goal to Jaques Kisubi, who scored in the 83rd minute, making the score CVFC 1, Real Overland Park 0. Real Overland Park responded with several chances, but Crown Villa goalkeeper Harrison Ennis ensured a clean sheet with crucial saves. CVFC's next match is scheduled for Saturday, April 19, at 7 PM at St. Pius X High School, where they will face Olathe United.
