Season 13, Game 5: Goal 5

This rematch against Newcastle started at 4 pm, and the Castles quickly took a 1-0 lead. At 4:15, Coach Jerreld advised the refs that we needed to pause the game because there was lightning on the horizon.

It never rained, and the sun broke through the clouds from time to time, but we ended up waiting for an hour before we restarted.

After play resumed, Emi fought hard for this ball before serving it up to Sam, who neatly tied the game.


Emi's cross finds Gage's shoulder, and we take the lead: 2-1.

Not long after the lead was ours, Jerreld puts Emi on defense.
Yes, that's Emilio's flying cleat, which appears to be just above Colton's head in the shot above.
And that's the cleat, flying high in the photo above. Before Emi had a chance to put his shoe back on, the Castlers brought the ball back into the danger zone. Emi used his sock foot to clear the ball and received an enthusiastic round of applause from the hometown fans.

While the defense was setting up for the corner, Coach Jerreld sent Emilio back to his usual position on the offensive end, where he had time to tie his shoe.

12 minutes later, Emilio scores our last goal of the game.
