UPSL DMV SOUTH SEMI-FINAL MATCH REPORT

After a long 3 hour trip to Lynchburg, VA our lads were prepared for the challenge. Unfortunately prior to the match starting, 2 weather delays pushed the kickoff back almost 2 hours. Our side started fast and had Lynchburg on their heels! Midfielder Nick Barahona won the ball in the midfield and played a ball over the line to Mac Nwulu who dribbled past two defenders and slotted the ball to the far right corner with a beautiful left footed strike. Halftime arrived and the boys were up 1-0. The second half saw controversy in many forms. Midfielder Ibrahim Conteh earned a red card after getting a second yellow. The boys fought for a large portion of the match down a man. When the 90th minute arrived, the refs informed both sides there would be 9 minutes of added time. Our defenders and goalkeeper Connor Jones made save after save to keep Lynchburg away. In the 99th minute, Lynchburg launched a long throw in to the box that proved to be dangerous and saw them tie the match 1-1. Two minutes later Lynchburg would earn the game winner on a free kick from distance.
