The match did not begin with the teams going through the feeling-out process. Rather, it was all attack. Cal United keeper Mitch North was forced to make a save in the 2nd minute on Connor Rutz’s shot. Then Christian Theirjung created a couple chances. In the 12th minute, he charged down the left flank and delivered a ball in that was just beyond both Darwin Lom and Billy Garton’s reach. Three minutes later, Theirjung crossed the ball to eighteen-year-old Alex ‘Chile’ Araneda, but Nate Steinwascher made a spectacular save. Despite the up-and-down action, neither team could put something together that resulted in a goal in the first half.
In the second half each team kept working, but had no success within the final third. The best scoring opportunity came in the 67th minute when Yazeed Matthews pressured Cal United’s keeper, Mitch North, into a miscue that almost found the back of the net.
Both teams had one more match each against Stumptown AC. Detroit City FC played them on April 16th and Cal United on April 19th.
