It was a fantastic second day out at Dr Pepper Dallas Cup XXXIII and the game of the day involved Everton FC vs J. League champions Kashiwa Reysol. Needing a win to basically advance to the semifinals, Everton jumped out to a quick lead and eventually were up 3-1 after about 35 minutes of play. That's where things got nuts.

Kashiwa scored quickly after Everton's 3rd goal prompting one of the coaches to yell "If we keep this up, we're going to lose 5-3!"...he wasn't too far off. The Japanese side completed a fantastic comeback in the second half to win 4-3 and send the group into haywire. While Kashiwa were physically inferior to the English side, they were tactically fantastic and deserved their win. What a game and what a great start to the day. On the other half of the bracket, Coritiba of Brazil blasted Club Bolivar 7-0 to get back into contention.

The rest of the results including FC Dallas vs Tigres and group standings after the jump

Manchester United became the only team to go 2-0 as they beat last-minute entrants Sporting Santa Clara by the score of 5-2.

In the other bracket, Dallas Texans held on for a 0-0 draw against a Mexico U20 side playing with ten men for the entire second half in what was an extremely chippy game.
