Alamo City 3 Rose City 1

The Battle and Flyers were held scoreless all Saturday in a surprising scoreless match until Obafemi Martins opened the scoring with a goal. Then the match took a huge turn when Martins was red carded taking away his goal and Rose City's last available player, Aurellien Collin, delivered with a SOG. Within a matter of minutes the score had flip flopped giving Rose City the 1-0 lead going into Sunday and the rolls were reversed as well as Alamo City would have only 1 available player left. Would the red card be the storyline? Would Collins, the last Flyer standing, be the hero for the Flyers? On Sunday, like Collins, the first place Battle, got the equalizer from Diego Fagundez. Then in the closing minutes of the game, Fagundez delivered the game winner. Alamo City becomes the 2nd club in BSL history obtain 50 regular season wins.

    It's quite the story. And that's all ignoring McMath's almost CS and Rosales beautiful assist on Mario De Luna. Lol. Weird game.

    Seriously ... Henry had two clear chances stopped, Driver was stoned (assisted by Barnes), and one of Fagundez's assists isn't counted in the box score:

    http://www.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter/2013-06-02-NE-v-LA/recap <-- recap clearly states he got two ... but the box score only has him at one.

    This game had all sorts of WTF about it. I don't know I've ever had a more interesting 2-1 match ever.

      Agreed 100%. I'd have loved the 3 points (I need them more than you I think) but a 2-1 match having this much play and interest doesn't happen every day.

    So many matches came down to the wire this week in the BSL. It was a good week. Your match was great! Lots of drama.

      Box score now reflects the Fagundez assist that was missing.
