FC Tucson turns 1-0 halftime deficit into 2-1 late lead against Ventura County Fusion, one of the top amateur teams in the nation, before VC's equalizer comes on a penalty kick in the 90th minute.
The FC Tucson men settled for a draw against one of the top amateur teams in the country Saturday night after a late and controversial penalty kick call.
Just after FC Tucson took the lead, defender Marco Costa gave a up penalty kick. Forward Logan Farrington converted the penalty kick for the first place Fusion .“I saw the ball, there was a confrontation near the end line and certainly from where I stand obviously I’m going to be biased and not think it’s a call,” Biagi said. “I think in that moment of the game it’s a very critical call but we have to move on, we can’t dwell on that moment, that can’t be the story of this game.
“I think the whole game we played really well kudos to the guys that were out there that really put it up,” said FC Tucson defender Munier Hussen. “Obviously unfortunate call at the end but I don’t blame anybody out on the field today. I think everyone really did their job, really did their part.”“I’m just really happy to help the team, not much else really,” Hussen said.
“I challenged the boys at half time,” Biagi said. “That was my primary challenge: is that we had to put quality shots on goal, we are dangerous but there was nothing really that was goal threatening and they responded quite well.”Less than minute after scoring FC Tucson had a two on zero against the Fusion goalkeeper but Labutis missed the shot.
