Official Quarter Final Report from Amy


The games...

Fortuna 1 wins 1 - 0

Fortuna controlled almost all of the first half and Mia scored the lone goal midway into the first half. Shanna played the entire first half and had two saves. The post also had a great save off of a corner. The second half was complete opposite of the first. The game turned into kick ball and Fortuna began to panic. Fortunately the final whistle blew and Fortuna came up with a 1-0 victory.

Fortuna 2 came out a bit timid to start the first half. After the first 15 minutes they began to pick up the level and had a few chances. The score at the half was 0-0. The second half was even matched with both teams getting many chances. Then with six minutes remaining Norway hit a free kick from 35 yards out. After a goalkeeping error the ball was in the back of the net and Fortuna was down 1-0. The teams battled and with just 3 minutes remaing Kiki ran on to a ball from midfield and beat 2 defenders to go 1v1 with the keeper. As usual she placed the ball perfectly in the lower left corner. The game ended in a 1-1 tie and went to a shootout.

Jess, Sarah, and Abby all made their attempt in the shootout and Trina the goal keeper made two amazing saves to help the team advance to the Semi Finals to play Fortuna 1. The team was so excited. It was AWESOME!

Stay tuned for match results in the Semi final match.
