KELSEYVILLE >> Building a 3-0 halftime lead, the Kelseyville Knights beat the Clear Lake Cardinals 4-2 in the North Central League I boys soccer opener for both teams Thursday night in Kelseyville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a no-love-lost meeting between these archrivals, the Knights (1-0 league, 4-3-1) overcame the loss of starting keeper Cesar Silva late in the first half to turn back the Cardinals. Silva was hurt in a midair collision with a Clear Lake player and had to leave the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd you can\u2019t simply replace a talented player like Cesar and expect the same results,\u201d Kelseyville head coach Kc White said. \u201cMy backup keeper Jorge Gonzalez performed admirably in his absence, but Jorge has just not had the time working in goal this season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a lot of back-and-forth talk between players on both teams, according to White, fueling a tense atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of chatter from both teams, both of which like to talk the talk, but we know how to walk the walk too and we did it better than they did tonight,\u201d White said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jair Inostroza Carrillo was involved in all four of Kelseyville\u2019s goals, scoring twice and assisting on goals by teammates Omar Mercado Marquez and Julian Arias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mercado Marquez scored with an Inostroza Carrillo assist to make it 1-0 early in the first half. The first of Inostroza Carrillo\u2019s two goals made it 2-0, and a cross from Inostroza Carrillo set up Arias\u2019 goal in the 25th<\/sup> minute to make it 3-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silva went down minutes later while battling for a ball in front of the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear Lake took advantage of Silva\u2019s absence to cut Kelseyville\u2019s lead to 3-2 (Clear Lake goal scorers not reported) in the second half. It wasn\u2019t until Inostroza Carrillo scored in the 78th<\/sup> minute that the Knights put the game away, Mercado Marquez providing the assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud of my team for locking in when it looked like it was going against us,\u201d White said. \u201cDespite being outscored 2-1 in the second half, I thought we played better offensively. We got up way more shots in the second half than in the first, but we were way more efficient in the first. I want us to close games stronger, and I believe we will moving forward because of this test.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White had nothing but praise for the efforts of Inostroza Carrillo, who is nursing a sore hamstring and was a game-time decision to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe sat out practice on Monday and Tuesday, did light work Wednesday, and said he felt OK to give it a go,\u201d White said. \u201cHe never subbed out of tonight\u2019s game. He switched from offense to defense and back to offense and had a hand in every one of our goals tonight. Tonight his performance was definitely MVP-esque and very deserving of a shoutout. I don\u2019t know where we would have been without him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelseyville faces a tough road test Tuesday in Fort Bragg at 5 p.m., according to White.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn my opinion, Fort Bragg is the team to beat in our league this season. We shared the title with them (and Lower Lake) last year, and just the small amount I\u2019ve watched them this season, they are very talented in the middle. They pass extremely well and they have veteran leadership to contend with. With that said, I\u2019m confident in my team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
