Fresno FC, the San Joaquin Valley’s first pro soccer team, ended their season with a friendly against the seven time Liga MX México Primera winners, León, Nov. 14.

The game broke anticipation when in the second minute trialist number 26, Qudus Lawal, scored a goal off of a through ball to invite a one-on-one with the León goalie. While the Foxes led most of the first half with a one goal lead, Club León led the first half in shots and possession. Minutes before halftime León’s efforts paid off with a dipping shot from Mauro Boselli just outside the 18 yard box right over the outstretched arms of FFC goalkeeper, Kyle Reynish.

At the beginning of the second half both teams changed their goalkeepers. Sam Howard, the Fresno Christian goalkeeping coach entered the game and kept a clean sheet allowing no goals in the entire second half. During the middle of the second half Fresno FC changed their lineup through a flurry of subs which included the substitution of center back Ramon Martin Del Campo, the Fresno Christian boys soccer team head coach.  The game ended with a draw, each team with one goal.
