The report says Sousa scored three times as East Brunswick built a commanding lead with three goals in each half. His contribution accounted for half of the team’s reported total and gave the hosts a decisive focal point in the final third.
The performance also featured a major contribution from Keko Michael, who reportedly scored once and supplied three assists. Kareem Amer added a goal and an assist, while Mateo Dela Cruz completed the scoring.
The reported shot count underlines the difference between the teams. East Brunswick finished with 13 attempts, compared with five for Manalapan, and maintained greater attacking pressure across both halves.
There was work at the other end, too. Rosario Volino is reported to have made five saves in preserving the clean sheet, while Manalapan goalkeeper Chase Lee made seven stops despite conceding six times.
The update also lists East Brunswick with a reported record of eight wins, three draws and two defeats, alongside a third consecutive victory. Manalapan’s previously unbeaten record is given as 11 wins, one draw and one defeat. Because the claims come from a single report awaiting review, the figures should be treated cautiously.
If the scoreline and records are confirmed, East Brunswick have moved from promising form to genuine momentum. The combination of Sousa’s finishing, Michael’s creativity and a clean sheet gives the team several reasons for confidence.
The next fixture will show whether this was a one-off demolition or the start of a sustained challenge. Manalapan, meanwhile, will need a response after suffering a defeat that reportedly exposed a sharp gap in attacking efficiency.
