Diego Reyes’ older brother, Saul, played on a Southern Section and state championship soccer team at Los Angeles Cathedral in 2015, but Diego finally has picked up some bragging rights over big brother when he scored in the big rivalry game against Loyola on Thursday night. His goal late in the first half helped the Phantoms come away with a 3-1 victory.
“It feels great,” Reyes said.
Cathedral (1-0-0) also received goals from Angel Rico and Anthony Martinez. Sophomore Marco Bottene scored for the Cubs.
The Cathedral-Loyola soccer rivalry has become important in helping both teams improve over the course of the season.
“It’s good competition,” Cathedral coach Arturo Lopez said. “We learn a lot. They have our respect. We took advantage of counter attacks. They put a lot of pressure on us.”
Lopez said he is working to schedule a game in January against defending City championship Birmingham.
In girls’ soccer, Tatiana Fernandez scored three goals in St. Anthony’s 4-1 win over Pius X-St. Matthias.
