Both sides were ready to play but the game started late since the field near by was being used by the girls softball team. We didn't want our wide kicks to interfere with their practice so we waited until 7:30pm to begin the game. The games are played with 35 minute halves. We do this instead of extra time since no one wants to score during the overtime and just wants the penalty kick round. Just play the extra 10 minutes each half and hope someone scores.

Play was fast on both sides of the field with many shots taken with some good opportunities. So about 10 minutes into the first half, Napoli scores. Leo Moran had the ball near the side line about 35 yards out and fired a blast that flew to the far side net that Maidstone Market goalie, Alex Mesa, could not block. A great unexpected goal.

Maidstone Market had a great chance to score when Brandon Ospina near the side line fired the ball into the center of the goal mouth to Alberto Nieto who hit the ball instead of the one net into the feet of Napoli goalie, Yeiner Garcia.

I did not take long for Maidstone Market to tie the game up. Brandon Ospina had the ball,dribbled into the goalie box and from about 10 yards blasted the ball into the net to tie the game up.

Just a minute later, Alberto Nieto dribbled toward the near post and fired a shot across the goal mouth to the far side net. After this, play was hard with both sides having other chances to score.

The last goal of the half was scored on a penalty kick for Napoli when a forward was taken down inside the Maidstone Market goalie box with about 11 minutes left in the half. Axel Sanchez blasted the ball low and toward the goal post.

The second half was well played with very hard play by the defenders on both sides of the half. At one point, it was looking as if Maidstone Market would lose their goalie, Mesa, when he was kicked in the ankle on a play, you could hear the sound of the hit on the sidelines. Mesa went down with pain and curse words could be heard. After about three or four minutes delay, he was able to move about and finish the game.

With about six minutes left in the game, it was looking as if the game would end up in a tie but Alberto Nieto was taken down by two Napoli defenders just outside the goalie box. From the video, it's hard to say who took down who. A direct kick was given about 25 yards from the goal. Napoli put up a two man wall with Donald Martinez on one side. As Nieto came running to kick the ball, Martinez moved to the side hoping the ball would go in that direction to block it but the ball went in the space that he was originally standing at. The fast ball went by the wall toward the goal. A Napoli defender was standing on the goal line getting ready to kick the ball back up the field. As the ball approached the Napoli defender, having missed judged the speed of the ball, he tried to kick it but the ball went under his foot into the net to be the winning goal. Only if Donald Martinez did not move when he was in the wall, the ball would have hit his legs and it would have been play on.

Napoli tried everything possible to score and were given better odds when Alberto Nieto was given a yellow card with just two minutes left in the game. Now Maidstone Market would play a man down for the rest of the game. Napoli tried but Maidstone Market held on to win. This win gives them 20 championship trophies.
