Legacy then pressed the issue, doubling their lead in the 68th minute on a free kick from Sultan Rahimi before Simon Vaca-Lorenzi sealed the deal by hitting the underside of the crossbar in the 81st minute to round out a 3-0 victory.
U14 BOYS STATE QUARTERFINAL D
4/27MVLA Pumas Blue
2-3
Sacramento United
Facing arguably the tournament favorites in MVLA, Sacramento United scored early and often to push their way into the quarterfinals. Jaden Jackson hit an early brace and Martin Urbina added a third goal to give United a 3-0 lead at halftime. But MVLA wouldn’t give up, scoring two with a brace of their own from Isaac Rodarte. Ultimately, though, MVLA’s comeback effort came up just short.
