As World Cup fever hit a high pitch this month, one Somerville soccer team was busy winning a championship.

The age 12 and under Somerville youth soccer team team won a Commissioner’s Cup title on June 20.

“The city of Somerville should be very proud of their accomplishments and for all the other teams in their division,’ said coach Ali Atti.

Members of the team include Youssef Atti, Miguel Canizalez, Padra Darilus, Wens Dorvil, Jeffery Fernandes, Aman Gabriel, Alejandro Galdamez, Adrian Lainoff, Andre Matos, Lebanos Mengistu, Danny Murphy, Nathan Nebiye, Alec Portelli, Mathew Sousa and Bobby Voutsinas.

To secure the title, Somerville had to beat Woburn and Billerica.

“Everything went against us,’ said Atti. “We got some very unfortunate breaks against us in the Woburn game. We were down 2-0, and the Woburn team had a lot of big and strong guys.”

Facing an early 2-0 deficit, Somerville stormed back and emerged with a 5-4 victory.

“We got off to a slow start and coach [Canizalez] and I had to calm the kids down and have them focus on what they do best, that is playing the ball,” said Atti. “We tied up the game at half time.”

Following the game, Atti was more than pleased with his team’s efforts.

“It was a remarkable game against the Woburn team,” said Atti. “It was a very hard fought soccer game.”
