Game #12

The game got off to a good start for Riverview, as after giving up the games first shot on goal, they managed the next two, the second of which opened the scoring in the contest. Their early goal came just under fifteen minutes into the game, on a nice pass to the middle of the field, which led to a shot that caromed in off of the goalpost, making it a 1-0 game. Unfortunately, that lead was short lived, as the Chargers would make it a 1-1 game a mere three minutes later, after their pass found a wide open player on the left side of our defense who was able to shoot the ball across the net for their first goal. While the two sides would spend a lot of time trading shots and scoring opportunities, neither side was able to convert, and the half came to a close with the score still tied at a goal apiece.

Strawberry Crest got the benefit of a very questionable tripping call early in the second half, which led to a direct kick that deflected in off of the crossbar, giving them a 2-0 lead on the first shot of the half. Riverview would outshoot the Chargers over the remainder of the half, but they were unable to net the goal that they needed to knot up the score. The final whistle would blow with the score still 2-1 in favor of the Chargers. Tough luck loss for the Sharks.
