U14 BOYS STATE SEMIFINAL A
5/12MVLA Blue
0-2
Manteca FC Boca
Accomplishing the near impossible is what Manteca FC have been all about this season, and the State Premier Championship side continued their dream run with yet another win, this time coming in the semifinals against NPL 1 squad MVLA. Goals from Alex Soto and Emiliano Sanchez not only provided the difference in this game, but improved Manteca’s impressive goal total to 16 during the knockout round stages of this competition, ensuring that they will be no easy out during the final.
U14 BOYS STATE SEMIFINAL B
5/12Woodland Dynamite
0-1
ECFC United
In a matchup that really could have gone either way, Miguel Marcos scored for ECFC United in the second half to down Woodland SC by a solitary goal. Still, ECFC were downed to 10 men, meaning that coming out on top was no easy task. And despite Woodland sending waves forward into the attack at the end of the game, ECFC defended well to keep their lead and ultimately earned a spot in the final due to their diligence in protecting their goal.
