Mateo Brazinha showed the UNBC Timberwolves once again why he is the reigning Canada West Player of the Year.
The veteran striker scored twice in a 3-1 victory this afternoon (Friday) over the Timberwolves at Masich Place Stadium.
Michael Beecroft opened the scoring for the Cascades in the 20th minute as a well placed ball by Mondo Abay changed direction and found its way into the back of the goal past UNBC netminder Yanni Ntapas.
Brazinha made it 2-0 ten minutes later knocking home a loose ball inside the box following a free kick off the boot of defender Adam Szymanski.
UNBC clawed back with a goal of their own in the second half as a hand ball by Fraser Valley inside the box resulted in a penalty kick.
Mark Talisuna made no mistakes on Cascades goalie Matheus De Sousa trimming the deficit to 2-1.
However, some quick transition by the Cascades snuffed out any hope of a comeback as a back heal pass by Kevin Mailand found Brazinha who notched his ninth of the season.
With the loss, the Timberwolves fall to 3-5-2 while Fraser Valley improves to 5-1-2.
Both teams play tomorrow (Saturday) at noon from Masich Place Stadium.
