Garden City rode fast start to beat Roslyn 4-0

The Island Now

The Garden City Trojans defeated the Roslyn Bulldogs 4-0 on Thursday afternoon led by Kyle McCadden’s two goals. 
Garden City put up three goals in the first half while goalkeepers Ryan Pascale and Alex Spanos combined for nine saves.
Roslyn head coach Juan Mejia said the Bulldogs needed to support each other’s passes as they move the ball throughout the field and be proactive instead of reactive.
“It wasn’t our day,” Mejia said. “Our game plan was making sure that we kept possession of the ball. They brought the athleticism and physicality to the game, making it harder for us to play.” 
In the first half, Garden City applied some pressure on the Roslyn defense and tested goalkeeper Jordan Rich with 12 shots on net. 
Defensively, Garden City was able to shut down Roslyn and limit their shots. 
Eight minutes and eleven seconds into the game, Luke Keating scored off an assist from Kyle Quinn to give Garden City a 1-0 lead.  
McCadden gave Garden City a two-goal lead with 12:44 left in the first half. McCadden capitalized on a Roslyn turnover and netted his first goal of the game.
McCadden struck again with 1:24 remaining in the half. After Roslyn defender Andrew Lieblich headed out a corner kick, the ball came outside the box to McCadden. 
He challenged Rich, who came out of the net to play the ball, and scored on the open net. Garden City took a 3-0 lead into halftime. 
In the second half, J.P Trabulsi scored the lone goal to give Garden City a four-goal cushion. With 28:08 left to play, Roslyn had an opportunity to get on the board with a corner kick but failed to score. This led to a two on one opportunity as Finn Gibbons feed Trabulsi to seal the deal.
