Because the boys had won both their games on Saturday and tied the game this morning they advanced to the championship game this afternoon at 2:30 PM. The game actually started about 10 minutes early. Robert started at left-wing again and played very aggressively. He was open when I needed to be open and on his man when it came to defense. Everyone played very well. However, we have a foul in the first five minutes of the game and they gave Pimedo a free kick that went through our goalies hands. 1-0
About 10 minutes after that there was a corner kick that was bobbled around and the goalie accidentally tipped it into our goal. The score is now 2 to 0. Such a bummer both were very preventable goals.
The worst was the third goal that was scored against us because the goalie didn't even move for it. I think he thought it was outside of the call but it was right inside the goalpost. We are down 3 to 0 at halftime.
Nick comes in as our goalie for the second half. The boys are playing very strong and we are attacking the goal. we must have shot after shot after shot or so it seems. However on one drive where we are attacking their goal it is deflected while our defense is up. No one is back to defend the goal. Michael Raybine rushes back but they get the shot off just before he can defend it and it gets passed our goalie. The score is 4 to 0. We continue to attack their goal but all of our shots are caught or deflected by their goalie. The game and a loss 4 to 0.
It was interesting to find out after the game that this team had zero goals scored on them the whole tournament. They have a very good goalie. Our boys did fantastic. They were a finalist in a very competitive showcase tournament. Congratulations to the OSC boys soccer team
