WOW!! 2-1 in a shootout! Great
W for EFC who ran the table in Cup to get here today . While they did not bring their
A game today, they brought their characteristic heart and soul and gutted out a tremendous victory over a tough United club. While United may have won the battle in the trenches , EFC came a way with the win, somehow, someway.
United's #6 gave EFC fits today and it was he and not #7 who seemed to have his way, but neither found the net despite multiple chances.United's lone goal came on a VERY controversial call at the end of first half on a free kick from about 30 yards that caught crossbar and squibbed to the near post and then rolled in front of the line and then past the far post and was cleared. Somehow the AR saw it as a goal :x United held that 1-0 lead until the end of regulation. United's antics of kicking the ball away after several OB calls resulted in a Yellow card for their player and more add time. EFC squared the game on a beautiful corner that kicked around in the box and was blasted in .After OT ended, the two teams went at it in shootout.The boys traded goals and then the EFC keeper guessed right and made a diving save on a well struck ball by the United middie (who by the way played a fantastic game) and EFC got the win!!
Off to Boise where EFC will face United again in the same bracket !!
I better bring my medical kit to that one
