San Diego Boca FC Earns Crucial Away Point in Sacramento 2-2

June 6, 2011 - PRLog -- June 6, 2011 – San Diego, CA – Eight hours from home, San Diego Boca FC (4-5-1) needed to walk away with anything but a loss to stay in the playoff hunt against the Sacramento Gold (3-3-3). A goal in the 93rd minute was the equalizer Boca needed to keep their eyes on the post-season.

Boca saw an early chance waved off on a suspect offsides call, and responded with one of their cleanest setups of the season. Brazilian midfielder Ze Roberto served a perfect one-two pass to Juan “Kichis” Perez-Bernal and sent Boca up 1-0 in the first half. Boca was unfortunately caught celebrating a bit too soon and the Gold responded less than a minute later to even the score 1-1 to end the half tied.

The second half was a solid back and forth from both sides, until the Gold broke the tie with a sharp goal inside the box. Boca found their second wind and began to pellet the Gold’s side with shot after shot. A strong defensive stand by Sacramento held Boca until injury time where a cross by Francisco “Panchito” Diaz in his Boca debut, set up Cameron Roget’s flick into the box, followed in by Edber Quiroz head tap in to close out the game 2-2 earning the road point.

San Diego Boca FC Head Coach Papo Santos quoted, “I’m proud of our guys to travel a great distance and come away with a point. Ze had a strong game in the center of the field, and Steve Gonzalez was dominant in goal once again. Our two debut players gave the Gold a lot of trouble in the time they were in, Noel Musicha with his pressure up front, and Panchito’s contribution were both positive additions to our game plan.”

San Diego Boca FC (4-5-1) now get ready for the next match as they host division leading SD Flash (7-2-0) in what will be an exciting local derby clash this Saturday night @ 7pm at Balboa Stadium. Tickets are available by visiting the BOCA Soccer Store or by calling 619-756-75828.
