Goal Explanation
Following a Santa Ana foul at the top of the box, Flores tapped on the ball
just a few inches to
re-start as Canela ran onto the ball, as his shot partially deflected off the
wall, bounded high
in the air and when in through the upper-left hand corner for the match's lone
goal.
Earlier in the
61st minute, Santa Ana's Julio Laguna took a direct free kick from a similar
spot,
but five yards deeper, but hit the base of the right goal post, as the rebound
went to the right
towards the corner and was cleared by Santa Rosa.
Gibson made all
three of his saves in the first half, all of the spectacular variety, robbing
Randy Zepeda, Santiago Galvez and Victor Ferrel.
