We won a soccer game!

Going 1 win and 6 loses this season (totally opposite for the 5 wins and 2 loses in the spring session), we entered our first playoff game against a team that we lost 7-2 last time.

We scored the first 2 goals of the game, and that was the score at the half, 2-0.

We quickly gave up a goal in the 2nd half and suddenly they were all over us. Non-stop pressure. One of their guys made a slide tackle at their end so we got an in-direct kick by their net. Unfortunately I shank the shot and they break out on a potential 1 on 1 with our girl defender. I managed to get back, grab the ball and booted it toward their net to clear the ball from our zone.

And it went in.

I didn't see it since I was half turning to get back to my position, but apparently the ball bounced before the goalie could catch it, and it skipped into the net.

3-1, Not the prettiest goal, but it's the first of the season for me, so I'll take it.

We then proceeded to give up 2 goals in 5 minutes for them to tie it up. 3-3

Then they gave it back to us. Their defender kicked it back to their goalie and their goalie picked it up!

So we get an indirect kick right in the penalty box, we convert and hold on for the 4-3 win.

Next playoff game, we have a chance to be the best of the worse. :D
