WARTA MOVE TO NEXT ROUND OF STATE CUP;

Luis Germano nets hat-trick and Emedi Emena penalty goal earns Warta spot in next round of the Illinois State Cup Open Division.

Warta dominance in first half rewarded with first goal in the 10th minute from a quick counter attack and Luis Germano opened the scoring.  Eleven minutes later, Germano got his second to make it 2:0 in first quarter of the half. 
Warta kept their dominant way of play and just minutes later Germano could've had his first half hat trick, but his shot from close range sailed way over the bar.

Rafael Rocha who dominated the offensive midfield, was brought down in the penalty box and Emedi "Besti" Emena stepped up to make it 3:0 in the 41st minute from the spot.

Minyor looked as they were giving up and Warta became more confident before the break.

Second half, Warta started the game with a little less energy allowing Minyor to get their possessions and created chances but failed to break the defensive line and goalie Peru.
Germano got his hat-trick in the 66th minute, to make it 4:0 for Warta before Minyor answered back with their only goal on the night in the 69th minute of play.

The win earned Warta a ticket to next round of the State Cup where they will visit SASC from the NSL First Chicago Division team.
