James Messinal scores twice as the Alchemists beat the Lucky Clovers 3-1
LOS ANGELES — James Messinal scored twice and set the tone early as the Alchemists beat the Lucky Clovers 3-1 at Alchemists Stadium, their third game without defeat.
Messinal finished Nico Barreto’s through ball in the 23rd minute, and Kwame Asante doubled the lead six minutes after the break. Ronan Fitzmaurice pulled one back for Boston on 64 minutes, but Messinal settled it from Rafael Quintero’s cross with twelve minutes to play.
“We were patient on the ball and quick when we won it back,” Messinal said. “That is how the coach wants us to play.”
The Alchemists host the Bloody Wave on November 21.

Messinal is on fire. Two goals and he could have had a hat-trick before half time.

Barreto’s pass for the first goal was world class. What a signing he has been.
Jake Stevens
Agreed! And the defence was solid until that red card. Bring on the Bloody Wave!
