They also received a pizza party in between rehearsals and the main event.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, most of the U11 boys team had a pre-game photo and autograph session with one of Toronto FC\u2019s Canadian players, Richie Laryea.<\/p>\n The teams were joined at the game by almost 60 people from the Huntsville Soccer Club made up of coaches, family members and even some adult league players.<\/p>\n Those in attendance witnessed the magician-like passing and goalscoring of TFC\u2019s newest star midfielder Alejandro Pozuelo, who notched two magnificent goals and had a brilliant assist in his first ever match for the club. He led the way for a resounding 4-0 TFC victory over New York FC.<\/p>\n It was the perfect result on a fantastic evening for the Huntsville contingent, who had family members texting screenshots of the girls on TV during the anthems, which were sung by none other than Jennifer Strype.<\/p>\n Throughout it all, the Strikers did what they do best and represented their club, themselves and their community in tremendous fashion.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
