MATCH SUMMARY
  • First Half
    • St. Thomas would put its mark on the game first with the opening goal in the first ten minutes as Angelo Bernandez gets around a few Evangel defenders and slid one into the near post.
    • The Bobcats would add a second as Bouget Bouzis got his shot saved by Alvaro Morera but was right there for the follow up to quickly double their lead.  
    • MACU would finally find their footing in the game maintaining positive spells of possession, just unable to get the right ball in the attacking third. A few miscommunications inside the attacking box left the chances on the table.
    • Morera would be called upon a few more times before the half ended to keep the Bobcats lead at two.
  • Second Half
    • After a zero shot first half for the Evangels, Ryan Jeanfraeu fired off two shots in the opening six minutes of the second half cutting into the lead with the second shot finding the back of the net beating the keeper for his second goal of the season.
    • Jeanfreau would find himself 1-on-1 with the keeper once again in the 62nd minute to equalize for the Evangels but was saved by the Bobcat goalkeeper, Sandro Cabral.
    • STU would restore its two-goal lead in the 73rd minute as Luca Heusser gets to the ball before an Evangel defender and buries it into the corner of the net.
    • The Evangels continued their late push and were caught on the counterattack by the Bobcats who would make it four just seven minutes later with Kay Maletzki.
    • St. Thomas made it five with a spectacular direct free kick from 25 yards out finding the top left corner.
MATCH NOTES
  • St. Thomas held the shot advantage 15-3 holding an 8-1 shots on goal margin.
  • This was the second meeting between the Evangels and the Bobcats as STU extended the all-time series lead to 2-0. The previous meeting came on May 4, 2021, in the NAIA National Tournament Quarterfinals in a 1-0 game.
