Tyee Cup Tournament

Hello, everybody, and welcome to another article of Super Soccer Ian. I will be posting a special blogpost about my recent Tyee Cup Tournament with my soccer team, TC United.

We played a total of four games, and we tied our first game 1-1 against a BU13 team. We are BU14,

so we probably should've done better. They got their first goal by dribbling through the heart of the defense, and there was no good defensive pressure, so they got the first goal of the game, but also got a little lucky. We were fortunately able to respond in the second half, scoring an equalizing goal. We really pushed at the end, but we didn't snatch the game winner.

Our second game was against another BU13 team, and we definitely came out ready. The final score of the game was 9-0, getting seven goals in the second half. I got a few chances at goal, and I ended up with a brace! This game got us going, and we felt really confident in ourselves for the next game.

Our third game was against the younger BU12. At first we thought that we might have this one covered, since we're two years older than them, but they came into the game very

strong, and we got away with a 3-2 victory. They played a heck of a game out there, and I felt fortunate that we didn't tie or lose.

That third game victory got us into the championship game! We played the first team that we played in the tournament, except for the fact that it was in the championship round. We came into this game with great team mentality, and we got the go-ahead goal. They were able to answer later with a goal, however, and the score was tied 1-1. There were some chances, and we looked to be the superior team, and the turning point of the game was when my team won a penalty kick. One of my teammates took the PK, and the goalkeeper almost saved it, making contact with the ball with his hand. It still found its way into the goal. I hit the crossbar from a long distance shot, and there were several opportunities at both ends of the field. The final whistle blew, and we won the Tyee Cup Tournament! It was our first ever championship, and everybody was thrilled. So far, the second game of this tournament is my best TC United game I've had!
