Early in the first half of Emi's second tournament game with the U-14 team, Emi subbed in as a left forward and took a push in the box.
He later took another.
We were down 1-0 throughout much of the first half, before an own goal following a corner knotted us with Real Madill, 1-1. which remained the score at half-time.
Emi started the second half at forward.
11:36
This score by Phillip put us up for the first time in the game: 2-1. Alas, I did not record the pass Emi made to set up this run. It was probably Emi's tournament highlight.
After Madill tied it up again, another scoring run by Phillip gave us a 3-2 advantage.
11:43
11:50: With Phillip playing back on defense alongside Sam and Eli, Emilio led the forward line and delivered a nice pass to Ian.
Final score: Ada Energy 3, Real Madill 2. And after three matches, with one match to go, Ada Energy is in first place with a 1:30 p.m. match with Duncan awaiting.
Coach Rhoades chose Emi to start at forward in the final first-round game of the tournament.
Emi played hard. Unfortunately, the team did not enjoy many highlights. We were down 1-0 at half, couldn't make up the deficit, and did not advance. Ugh. The agony of defeat.
