Gold Division:
Minneapolis United Black 4, Ela Red, Lake Zurich, Ill. 1.
ELA looked good early, as they were quick to press United into a defensive strategy. Atletico Madrid Academy guest player Federico Oliva beat three defenders in the 10th minute to make the score 1-0. The score would remain 1-0 until United mounted an attack to tie up the game 1-1 just before half.
After halftime it was all United. Will Sylvain struck a free kick from 20 yards out to put United ahead and they did not look back. The momentum of the game had shifted.
The score of the game would end 4-1 United with later goals by Aidan Smith and Jackson Lagos.
Our boys represented very well and we are proud of you.
Go ELA!!!
