HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER ROUNDUP : San Fernando Drubs Alemany, 4-1

It was a classic match-up, a battle of undefeated cross-town rivals, Southern Section against City, private school meets public.

The contest was surprisingly one-sided, however, as San Fernando High recorded a convincing 4-1 win over Alemany in a first-round match of the Hart boys’ tournament Wednesday.

Alemany (4-1-1) trailed, 2-0, before trimming the margin toward the end of the first half when forward Damon Rivetti, flanked by San Fernando’s Tereseso Delgado and Ricardo Coyt, flicked the ball into the upper-left corner of the net from 12 yards.

San Fernando (5-0-2) took a 3-1 lead 15 minutes into the second half on Enrique Moreno’s shot from three yards. Two minutes later, Jaime Ballesteros dribbled between three Alemany defenders and fired a shot from 10 yards into the left side of the net for a 4-1 lead.
