Regulation ended 0-0, 1st OT ended 0-0. 2nd OT end 1-1. We are getting ready for PK's and the officials announce that they played 10 instead of 15 minute OT's so the solution was to play 2 additional 5mins. After the 1st 5 min OT game still tied 1-1. Now it gets crazy. The officials decide to now play an additional 15 minute OT period and disallow the 2nd 10min OT. Lou Fusz scores finally and they end the game after about 2 1/2 hours of soccer. However the final score wasn't 2-1. It is officially 1-0 because each team scored a goal in that 2nd 10minute OT which they basically say didn't count. If you think it sounds like a confusing mess in writing, you should have been there watching it. As long as I recall, Cup has always been two full 15 minute OT's followed by Pks. This was a different set of officials who made the same mistake. Unbelievable. Same thing happened to the U-16’s vs Lou Fusz. Regulation ended 0-0, 1st OT ended 0-0. 2nd OT end 1-1.

Don't we all wish the officials never made a mistake!!!! I feel sorry for the kids who are waiting for the final outcome and I feel equally sorry for the 4 officials who were apparently given incorrect information and now look very foolish.

They were down 1-0 at the end of two 10 min OT's but since theya re supposed to be 15 minutes, this could very well change.

The U17s had a bye, so they play on Saturday. The U15s score isn't posted for the SSC game. The other two U15 games from Sunday are posted on the MYSA site so I'm confused.
