Diablos vs. Pumas


Note: Left click on any photo to enlarge.

The Diablos improved their season record to 4-1-1 with a comeback victory against Puma USA. Down 0-1 at the half despite a number of good scoring opportunities, the team in red scored twice in the second half to claim the 2-1 win.


It appears that the Diablos costly acquisition of Wayne Rooney from Manchester United, obtained in the trade for Arthur, was well worth it. But we will miss you, Art.
