EC Revolution FC U11 Boys Blue Premier — youth soccer in Brentwood, California

A clinical road win. 15 total attempts, 11 shots and 4 goals — a 27% conversion rate, with most attempts coming from inside and around the box. Possession was split 41% in our defensive third, 38% in the middle and 21% in the attacking third, and passing was heavily central (93% of passes in the middle third, 4% defensive, 3% attacking). Build-up came in short bursts: 12 passing strings of 3 connected passes, 3 of 4, and only a handful longer. Key lesson: the finishing was excellent, so the next step is getting the ball into the attacking third more often and holding onto it for more than 3–4 passes at a time.

A strong response and a deserved win. 16 total attempts to their 5, 8 corners to 2, and outstanding work to regain the ball — 50 tackles and 20 interceptions. We controlled 63.2% of match momentum and were especially dominant after halftime: 9 attempts to 1 and 6 corners. Slightly less possession overall (48.2%) but far more effective with the ball. Key lesson: keep the intensity after winning possession, and combine this aggressive ball-winning with the defensive box awareness needed against teams like Walnut Creek.

A very close game — possession nearly even (48.2% us, 51.8% Walnut Creek) and completed passes almost identical (97–94). We had 9 attempts to their 10, but they created more close-range danger: 7 of their 10 attempts came from inside the box versus 4 of our 9. We defended actively (28 tackles, 14 interceptions) against their 33 tackles and 17 interceptions. Benjamin Hatcher scored our goal late. Key lesson: protect the area around our box better and turn more of our attacking moments into clear chances inside the box.
