Usually, watching my team win by a blowout is great joy. This one, not so much. Of course, goal differential is an important tie-breaker in the standings.
After taking a 2-0 lead, Le Rouge’s Colin McAtee and the Minnesota keeper, Matt Elder, went sliding in on a loose ball, resulting in a major collision. The Twinstars’ keeper suffered the worst of the blow, breaking his leg. The visitors brought a small amount of players, with no back-up keeper among them. A small, outfield player had to fill in the rest of the game, and that’s when the rout began. Going into half time, the kid gave up two more goals, giving Detroit a commanding 4-0 lead. It was smooth sailing from there.
