Especially with both teams having big aspirations in the postseason. In games like this when it is late in the season and both teams are preparing for the playoffs, lessons are learned on both sides. “We probably generated more offense in the last 15 minutes because they had to push players forward and if they would have got a goal, we wouldn’t have been able to stay back and play lanes smaller,” Marsh said. “You can’t lose if you pitch a shutout,” Marsh said. “In the last two weeks of the season, you are getting ready for the playoffs,” Dougherty added. We know that in the playoffs, you might win the first game going away but after that, it becomes a juggernaut. “We have based our entire season off of the back four and our goalkeeping. “We want to win 1-0, we don’t want to win 5-4,” Dougherty said. “Great teammates.”īoth defenses played great soccer, keeping the talented offenses contained throughout the match. “Our defense worked hard, really hard,” Briones said. “(Coach Marsh) was hyping us up because we didn’t do that good (in the first half) and told us to start working hard and to do it for the team,” Briones said. With just over 11 minutes left in the contest, Briones found a loose ball off a deflection and found the back of the net. “We weathered the storm in the first half and that was the difference,” Marsh added. We got upset with the officiating and instead of just letting it go, and that is the tough part, make them beat us not the official. “I think in the second half we lost our head. “We felt comfortable on possession,” Bay coach Bobby Dougherty said. Marsh added “they do a real good job of staying compact so that space is difficult to play through.” The most dangerous balls we played in the first half were from our right back to our left back.” We had to bypass and find our two wide players. “They played with five guys in the midfield to our four and we tried to play through the midfield and they won every single ball. “They were destroying us in the midfield,” North Olmsted coach Chris Marsh said about the first half. North Olmsted (11-2, 5-0) got a late goal from Gael Briones with just over 11 minutes left in the game to defeat Bay (10-2-2, 5-1) 1-0 on Wednesday night.īay had some early chances but the Eagles were able to keep the score tied up at zero heading into halftime and get some chances of their own in the second half In a battle between two of the top boys soccer teams in the area, it took almost 70 minutes to get the first goal, and it was only one of the night.
