The Madrid fell to 1-2 on the season after a 4-2 loss to the MSC Mutiny. The Mutiny scored two goals quickly in the first half to make it 2-0. The Madrid fought back to make it 2-1 by a goal from Jacob; however, a dropped ball by the goalie in front of the net for an easy tap-in goal put the Madrid behind 3-1. They continued to fight back to a 3-2 score with a nice goal by Mikey; however, an own goal in the final minutes solidified a 4-2 loss. the Madrid must regroup as a team quickly for their next opponent, the undefeated NVSC Junior Royals 98.

Madrid loses to BRYC Elite 4-2
The Madrid lost their first game of the season to Braddock Road by a score of 4-2. The game was marred with critical defensive mistakes from the beginning. Madrid quickly found themselves down 2-0 by miscommunications in the backfield and easy goals. Fighting back, they were able to tie the game 2-2 (goals by Jacob and Mikey) midway through the second half; however, with two critical injuries in the starting backfield, two more costly defensive errors resulted in a 4-2 loss.

Madrid wins season opener against WWSC Wolves
The Madrid played WWSC Wolves at Seibel Farms in New Windsor, MD on a cold and blistery day Sunday and won a hard fought match 2-0. Solid defensive play by Daniel, Mitchell, and Andrew, and a key goalie clear by Darius resulted in a through-ball to Jacob who took it 15 yards in a one-on-one with the WWSC goalie and tapped it by him to the right corner for his first goal. Mid-way through the second half, Logan won a ball in the right mid-field, moved it down the right side and chipped it over the center defense with enough finesses to allow Jacob to win it before the goalie came out. Jacob then scored his second goal with a soft-touch past the goalie to make it 2-0. Great job Madrid.

Madrid goes undefeated in North Carolina Triangle Friendlies
The Great Falls Madrid traveled to Fayetteville, North Carolina from 28-30 January to participate in the North Carolina Triangle Friendlies Soccer Tournament. The Madrid competed against all TFC teams from across the state of North Carolina and compiled a record of 2 wins, 0 losses, and 2 ties. Their record, however, was not indicative of the domination over their opponents. Facing teams that played a very defensive-style game where they crowded the box with all eleven players, the Madrid found it difficult to finish and put the ball into the back of the net. Despite an overwhelming margin in favor of the Madrid in time of possession, shots on goal, and time played on opponents half of the field, the Madrid wasn't able to dominate their opponent in the "Goals For" category. In four games, they outshot their opponents 50-7, scoring only 10 goals while the opponents capitalized on crucial defensive mistakes by the Madrid to score 4 goals. Nonetheless, the Madrid played well together, learned a lot, and most of all, had a ton of fun! Congrats on the successful tournament boys.
