Thunder Silenced

Thunder Silenced

Brent Dunlop, Communications, 2017 CCAA Men's Soccer National Championships

Two diving stops by Ryo Mizuno during Penalty Kicks led the Douglas Royals over the Algonquin Thunder in the second quarter-final match.

Douglas earned a free kick just outside the 18-yard box in the 65th minute, and Eric Ray opened the scoring with a laser to the top corner of Algonquin's net. The Thunder responded just eight minutes later when a Federico Leal free kick found the net over the out stretched hands of Mizuno.

Nothing else was solved in the 90 minutes, so the teams went to penalty kicks where they exchanged goals on the first four shots. But as the Royals kept scoring the Thunder were shut down by Mizuno. His two perfectly timed saves secured the win for the Royals and a berth to the semi-finals.
