Nov. 17, 1963 – Boston SC 2:1 New York Hakoah, ASL match at Chelsea Memorial Stadium (Att.: 3,000)

This was the sixth successive win for Boston SC (7-0-1, 15 points), second in the ASL behind the Philadelphia Nationals (8-1-1, 17 points). Former Peru Olympic teamer Nestor Caceres (14^’) and Manuel Lopez (47^’) opened the scoring. New York’s Walt Horseling cut the deficit “in the last minute of play.” Fall River’s Henry Noga earned his sixth shutout and Hector Marinaro bolstered the Boston defense, according to The Boston Globe.

Noga, a three-sport star at Durfee High School in Fall River, played twice for the U.S. in 1962 World Cup qualifiers against Mexico. The teams drew, 3-3, at Wrigley Field in Los Angeles on Nov. 6, 1960 and Mexico defeated the U.S., 3-0, at Estadio Universitario on Nov. 13, 1960. The opposing goalkeeper was Antonio “Cinco Copas” Carbajal.
