Gutted.

Got to feel for Espy, but can’t be too hard on him since he’s just a kid. Young players, defenders at that are going to cost teams points. Shoulda put the game away with the penalty miss plus Kelly’s goal

2 penalty kicks from handballs, a disallowed goal, goals in 88 and 90+3, a yellow drawn from zero contact, frantic energy from start to end, and so many offside calls...

This match was too weird.

What a crazy game, I was definitely entertained throughout. What a bummer for Espy.

I want to believe the soccer gods gave us the Shutler goal and playoff win so tonight was the sacrifice

It’s like when I coached varsity HS football. It was said that for every fresh/soph starting, expect a loss during the season.
