Second Match of Chiefs Classic

Game 12: (5-6-1)
4 October vs. Nixa at Kickapoo (1-2)


EKL Standings


We headed into day 2 of the Chiefs Classic intent on getting a result. 

We said all of the right things during our pregame meeting, but we began the match sluggishly, giving up a goal in the first four minutes. 

We had fouled at the side of the top of the 18-box. Nixa hit a low line drive that Parker knocked to the ground, and they touched it in. 

Shortly after, Nixa beat us down on the same side and got a bouncing shot off. Parker dove over it after various defensive errors that put the ball inside the box, and there we were down 2-0. 

We had plenty of time to come back to secure the win, but all we could muster was one late PK. 

We did create chances, near misses, and all of that, but we could not come up with another goal. 

We will need to be ready to play tomorrow at the whistle if we are going to get back in the win column and to set up our final run of regular season.

We will play Carthage, a team who beat Nixa 2-0 earlier in the year.

There were not a lot of bright spots in today's performance, but one was the play of David Weinberg at the 10 for the last 50 minutes of the match. Besides, once again earning us a PK, he also put the ball on several different players' feet to create a few nice opportunities for us to tie the match and get us to overtime.

Hank also had a nice second half, saving five shots.

We are off to dinner tonight with the parents at the Springfield Brewery. We should have a good meal and a good time.


STATS:

First Half:

27:52 Tate (Krans finds Tate's foot through for him to ground it far post as our right back gets beat but does not make a recovery run; then we miss the tackle instead of standing the player up, followed by two more missed tackles and finally Parker has to dive after it's in the box)

Game 2: (0-2-0) 5 September vs. Rockhurst at home (0-1) 2024 Stats EKL Standings How enjoyable has our Rockhurst Rivalary been—just extraordinary. Yes, this match used to draw 5,000 fans, complete with football-team cookouts and coaches coming in from all over the country, but Coach Pribyl's TOP DAWG tourney is no more. Oh, and tonight, the Chiefs play on NBC to open the NFL season at 7:20. So, a bit less than 5,000. But Halo did broadcast the match, so some people around the country got to watch both. It was a match that almost did not start, with lightning in the area. But the skies parted, the rain and lighting left, and it was a great night for soccer. And really, we had quite a match with very few opportunities to score for either team. We both had a few. The match was nearly 60 minutes in and still scoreless when our left wing picked up his second yellow card. So from that point on, we had to play the Rock with only 10 guys. We thought our guys played so well and so hard thos
