Fresno Loses In Overtime
2-3
After fighting back twice Friday night to eventually evening the score at 2-2 just before the final whistle, the Fuego loses in the first over time. Down 1-0 Edgardo Contraras scores to even the score 1-1 as he applauds the crowd of nearly 1,000. The Fuego fell behind as a free kick for the Gold was deflected and found its way in to the back of the net. With less than two minutes to play Jose Espindola flicks the ball on to Eric Farfan who scores and celebrates by kicking the ball into the fans who were all standing and cheering. The Gold gave the Fuego much more respect than the first time they met and brought a much more thought out game plan to finally catch the Fuego in the first sudden death overtime.
