Most Awesome Tie Ever

Mercenaries FC - Cucuy FC 4:4 (1:1)

We started with no subs against a team that had showed up with a second squad, so we new there would be a lot of running ahead. Lucky was out so we asked Cory to help out, who gladly obliged. Cory could do anything about the first goal but had a super-save on a one-on-one that saved the tie at half time.

In second half, Cary got injured on his knee and had to sub out. With a man down, Karol had a great second goal to bring us up 2:1, but Mercenaries tied it up soon after. Then Karol was fouled in the box, admittedly 10 yards away from the ball, but we got a penalty anyway and went ahead 3:2. Mercenaries tied it again, and then took the lead with for 4:3, which felt to me kind of like the end of the game.

So with a man down, 5 minutes to go, Karol had one last run, chasing down a long ball and finding himself surrounded by 4 defenders, with no support from anyone else. By this time we were just too tired to make another run in the heat. What then followed was luckily captured by Cary using his cell-phone camera:



Not sure how Karol pulled it off and why he looks so dark in this movie, but it was the most awesome goal I've seen in a long, long time.

Hope that Cary's injury is not as bad as it looked.
