SOCCER: Sequim FC edges Port Angeles United in Super Cup showdown

PORT ANGELES — Sequim FC out-fought its rival to win the first ever Super Cup soccer derby.

Pablo Salazar scored late in the first half and Sequim held off Port Angeles United the remainder of the match to win 1-0 at Wally Sigmar Field on Sunday.

“We played well, I thought,” Quincy Byrne, commissioner of the Sequim squad and one of the organizers of the inaugural event. “Really, I thought both teams played well.

“Both teams played phenomenal defense. That’s why it was a low-scoring game.”

It was one of three shots on goal for Salazar.

Goalkeeper Benito Morales earned a shutout despite Sequim FC being out-shot by Port Angeles 10-6.
