Snohomish United came away with a convincing 3–5 victory at Bigfoot FC in USL League Two action on Saturday, producing an eight-goal affair that saw the visitors take control and hold on despite conceding three times on the road.
The match was a high-scoring contest from the outset, with Snohomish United finding the net five times to ensure that Bigfoot FC's three goals were never enough to mount a serious comeback. Individual goal scorers and times were not confirmed at the time of publication.
What is clear from the scoreline is that neither defense had a comfortable afternoon. Bigfoot FC managed to find gaps of their own, keeping the game from becoming one-sided on the scoresheet, but Snohomish United consistently stayed ahead and never relinquished control of the result. No bookings were issued across the 90 minutes, a notable fact given the number of goals and the intensity that an eight-goal game typically demands.
For Snohomish United, the five-goal haul on the road represents a significant statement of attacking intent. Scoring five away from home at any level is no small feat, and doing so while absorbing three goals suggests a side willing to commit numbers forward and back its offense to outscore opponents. Bigfoot FC, meanwhile, will take some encouragement from finding the net three times but will need to address the defensive issues that allowed five goals at home.
The result gives Snohomish United valuable points on the road as both sides look to establish themselves in the early stages of the USL League Two season.
