Liberty, But Not Justice for All

After fending off a handful of Liberty attacks and battling hard in midfield, the first half ended in a cruel fashion for the Glencoe Tide as the Falcon's Miguel Campuzano dribbled the right side of defense and hooked a 15 yard shot into the upper-right side of the goal to give Liberty a 1-0 lead with 12.1 seconds left before the referee's whistle would have signaled a scoreless first half. After making adjustments at half-time the Tide spent the next 40 minutes backing the Falcons up against their own goal. During one of their few opportunities in the second half Liberty was rewarded with a fluke goal after a collision in the box let the ball role slowly and painfully into the Glencoe goal with twelve minutes left to play in the match. The Tide was able to pull back a goal two minutes later as Ben Miramontes converted on a penalty kick after Liberty was charged with a hand ball in the box. The Tide spent the final minutes surging in a series of attacks against the Falcon goal, but could not pull off an equalizer.
