January 3, 2015 - Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) Missouri Comets ST. LOUIS, MO - Over two hundred fans drove four hours across the state to St. Louis to see the Missouri Comets (11-0) remain undefeated in the 2014\/15 Major Arena Soccer League season after an 8-5 victory over the Ambush at a Family Arena, which recorded an attendance of 7,360. <\/p>\n
Andre Braithwaite was elected Borden Man of the Match with two goals. In addition, league leader Leo Gibson recorded one tally and one assist to remain at the top of the MASL standings with 43 points. <\/p>\n
Having dressed only 13 players after losing Max Touloute, Ramone Palmer and Coady Andrews due to injuries and without Head Coach Vlatko Andonovski on the bench, who had to pay a one-game suspension, the Comets were able to add another victory to their eleven-game winning streak. <\/p>\n
The reigning MISL Champions started off strong and took a 2-0 lead early in the first quarter when rookie Kiel Williams notched his second professional goal followed by team captain's Vahid Assadpour sixteenth tally of the season. However, Manny Forbes found the back of the net to end the quarter 2-1. <\/p>\n
St. Louis came back and took their first and only lead of the match early in the second quarter when Jeff Di Maria and Elvir Kafedzic each tallied a goal but John Sosa equalized with an outstanding free kick goal, taking a 3-3 tie to the locker rooms. <\/p>\n
With goals scored by Robert Palmer and Braithwaite, the visitors retook the lead in the third quarter before Kory Dowell beat goalkeeper Danny Waltman with a shot that crossed the line in the top right corner, ending the third stanza with a partial 5-4 score. <\/p>\n
Andonovski's team led by assistant coach Goran Koradzov sealed the victory in the fourth quarter when Braithwaite completed his brace followed by Gibson's twenty- second goal of the season before Matingou completed the scoring for the visitors. <\/p>\n
With less than a minute left in the game, former Comets player Stefan St. Louis added another goal to the scoreboard to end the match with a final 8-5 score. <\/p>\n
Next up, the Comets will return to the Independence Events Center for two weekends in a row when they host the Tulsa Revolution and the St. Louis Ambush. <\/p>\n
