Match Day #14’s featured matches may not have produced a ton of goals, but the matches certainly didn’t lack for drama, with both fixtures being decided by just a single goal.
U17 GIRLS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Diablo FC
Clarke, Ruble

Though Diablo were able to take the lead in the 49th minute through a goal from Sophia Harrington, it was a lead that wouldn’t last. Lamorinda’s Margaux Clarke equalized just three minutes later, before a dramatic 90th minute finish from Karissa Ruble helped secure all three points for Lamorinda.
U17 BOYS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
4/2
Atletico Santa Rosa
1-0
Force
Vargas
It was a headed goal in the 25th minute that ultimately made the difference in this game, with Atletico pouncing on a set piece to grab the game’s only goal scored by Victor Vargas. De Anza would respond with several attempts on goal, but none found the back of the net in a physical match that featured double digit cautions.
