U18/19 ECNL Girls National Championship: Concorde Fire Platinum

The U18/19 ECNL Girls National Championship certainly left its mark at the ECNL Girls National Playoffs in Seattle, stringing together a match that was one for the ages.

Concorde Fire Platinum and Slammers FC HB KØGE met in the championship match, searching for one more win for their team to live forever with glory.

From the opening kickoff, the two sides battled it out, looking for any edge the team could garner through play. But it was Concorde Fire Platinum who broke through, potting two goals in the opening 45 minutes to cruise to a 2-0 lead at halftime.

Coming out of the half, Concorde Fire Platinum padded their lead, scoring a third goal to take a commanding 3-0 lead.

After allowing the three goals, Slammers FC HB KØGE finally started to mount a comeback, but not without its hiccups. Shortly after allowing a third goal to Concorde Fire Platinum, Slammers FC HB KØGE earned a red card for a foul, forced to play 10 players for the rest of the contest.

However, despite trailing 3-0, Slammers FC HB KØGE would not go down without a fight. The side scored two quick goals, bringing the game to 3-2 with enough time left to bring the game even.
