Not too much to write about here as the entire game was played in the midfield for much of it. Brauhaus had the opportunities in the first half. Stargazy appeared to be playing for the point.

A small tactical change by both teams brought out a different look to start the second half. Stargazy was attacking with more fluidity but with that opened up the midfield a bit too much allowing Puskás (Herczeg) to take space. JP and Timmy P found themselves with the ball but often closed down on quickly.

With roughly ten to play the counter was back on for the MeatPies and a driven cross found the foot of Dancing Kim to have the ball carom off of the post and run along the goal line. (Visions of the playoff no-goal call ran through the head of Meeker on the other end). Schoppe calmly grabbed the ball off of the goal line (as it did not go in) and proceeded to scream some schoppes at his defense.

Surely that was the moment which Stargazy sought and needed to capitalize on. Die Mannschaft came storming back down the field to again lose possession and Stargazy countered. This time Kim had the ball and sent in a beautiful cross to find the head of a waiting Brandon Pierce putting the ball into the back of the net. Only a couple short minutes remained and Brauhaus couldn’t connect up top as time ticked away.

1-0 final. It wasn’t pretty but Stargazy was content with the victory nonetheless. If anyone actually watched that game without ties to the players, we all apologize.

Thanks to the reffing trio of Matt, Craig and Mike.
