Diablos vs. Great Wall

Well, I thought I had transferred my photos of this game onto the thumb drive I brought with me to London. Perhaps the drive was wiped clean by Homeland Security! In any event, it was blank when I arrived in England, so these exciting action shots had to wait for my return to San Antonio.

I am glad to report that the Diablos improved their season record to 5-2-1. After taking a two-goal lead into the half-time break, the Diablos tacked on two more goals in the second half for a final score of 4-0. The second period was made a little more challenging when, just a few minutes into the half, Lambert was shown a red card. Having to play a man down for the final 42-plus minutes did make the game more interesting.
