The report says Cesar Casas scored all three goals for Mendota, completing his second hat-trick of the season. His decisive move came after the interval, when he returned to the left side and repeatedly cut inside from a dangerous position.
Casas had reportedly been used more centrally this season, partly to provide greater leadership in midfield. Against La Salle-Peru, however, the wider role gave him space to attack defenders and helped Mendota stretch the game.
The first two goals came from similar movements, with Casas receiving on the left before driving inside. His third arrived late, after Mario Membrane found him in front of goal.
The opening half offered little attacking rhythm. The report says neither side managed a shot on target during the early stages, while La Salle-Peru goalkeeper Logan Grzywa made important saves to keep the match level.
Myers described the cautious start by saying, “Não conseguíamos enfrentá-los havia alguns anos. Não sabíamos muito sobre eles, então o primeiro tempo foi de estudo.”
That patience became valuable after the break. Mendota improved its positioning, increased the tempo and punished a mistake in the La Salle-Peru half. At the other end, goalkeeper Gianni Figueroa reportedly made one save as Mendota protected its lead with discipline.
The report also credits the result as Mendota’s sixth clean sheet of 2026, underlining a performance built on both Casas’ finishing and a reliable defensive structure.
The result reportedly moved Mendota to seven wins and two defeats, while La Salle-Peru fell to six wins, one draw and one loss. Mendota is expected to visit Somonauk on Monday, with La Salle-Peru scheduled to host Ottawa. The next storyline will be whether Casas remains wide-and whether opponents can find an answer.
