The second half started off with more back and forth between the two sides but this time Poland started to show an edge and went after the ball more aggressivly resulting in them having possession for most of the game and creating more chances and finally testing Canfield goalkeeper Dominic Gizzi. 

The Bulldogs’ new found energy finally paid off with under five minutes to go in the match Junior Jacob Hayes would find himself on the rush with two cardinals on his side. With the great pressure being shown by the Canfield defense Hayes finally opted to take his shot and boy did he, the Bulldogs would pull even late in the match setting up an exhilarating final four minutes.

The Bulldogs continued to show pressure but seemed to slip back into their first half mentality which made them look content with a draw but with 25 seconds remaining in the game Junior bench player number six would find himself in front of the net and with a quick decision took his shot and sealed the deal for his team elevating them to a 2-1 comeback win!

 

Canfield is back in action next Tuesday when they host Cardinal Mooney at 7PM and Poland will hit the road to play Austintown Fitch on Thursday with a 7:15PM scheduled start time.
