With just 12 minutes left in the game, El Camino-Compton Center mid-fielder, Odoom Baisie-Mensa stole the game from the Warriors with a solo shot on a counter attack.
Despite a 1-0 lead by the Warriors men’s soccer team in the first half, the Tartars late goal led to a 1-1 draw on Tuesday.
Team captain Andy Marin said the game came down to a defensive error,
“We gave away a very easy goal, but I believe we have improved on the way we posses the ball.” Marin said. ” We have room to improve and we can win games as long as we work on avoiding little mistakes that can hurt us in the long run.”
The Warriors have yet to win a game this season. The main reason is not being able to finish the game strong.
Warriors head coach John Britton said the team got a little tired on Tuesday.
“We put tremendous effort and one of our players fatigue,” Britton said. It caused him to make an unforced error allowing Compton to score.”
A total of seven yellow cards were handed out through out the game. The Warriors received three and the rest were given to the Tartars.
Warriors forward Jose Alcala thinks the team is not mentally prepared to play 90 minutes.
“That is something that should be worked on during practice. Alcala said. “I’m expecting from this team to finish strong until the last whistle.”
