We knew before the game began that this was going to be a physical game and it definitely proved to be correct. Neither team could find the back of the net in the first half. It could have been due somewhat to the very small goals?? The field size was good but, the goals were 6v6 size so it made scoring opportunities for both team harder. The referee let the teams play and did not call many fouls. We finally got a penalty kick awared to us in the second half when we were tripped from behind for the second time inside the box on a breakaway. We scored on the PK to go up 1-0. We felt pretty sure we would get a foul called on us inside the box before the end of the game and we did in fact get a tripping foul called on us which awarded them a chance to score on a PK. Our keeper made a great save and then our players followed the shot and cleared the ball out! We added a second goal also in the second half on a cross on the ground and a great finish on the backside of the goal. We won 2-0!
