Results for Sunday, October 27
Small Field games
U10 – Carolina Jaguars vs Bacadia Warriors. Both teams battled, with parents very involved and crossing their fingers for a goal to be scored; but after the last minute, the whistle was blown with the game a 2-2 draw.
U10 – Calcutta Strikers vs Corozal Rising Stars; another clasico game. Both teams’ fans were very supportive and looking forward for a goal, and seeing both teams play their hearts out. Calcutta scored 2 goals; then before the game was out, Corozal Rising Stars also scored 2, ending the game in a draw.
Big Field games

U13 – Corozal Rising Stars vs Falcons. This game was very interesting, and both teams were playing their best. Half time came and the game remained at zero; no one had scored. As second half started, there were few attempts by both teams trying to score; but just minutes before the game was over, the Central Referee called a penal in favor of Corozal Rising Stars. Aldani Rodriguez was asked to kick the penal and scored, giving Rising Stars the winning goal, 1-0.
