Halfway
through the first quarter the Comets took a rare early lead when Lucas
Rodriguez was able to pounce on a missed shot from Vahid Assadpour.
Without hesitation, Rodriguez let it fly and found the back of the net.
The next two goals would come from Chicago. One from Carlos Munoz and
the other from longtime Comets foe, Chile Farias. Although down 4-3 at
the first break, the Comets held possession in the late part of the
quarter.
Signed
in early December, Ramone Palmer has patiently waited for his
opportunity to make his mark with the Comets. His chance came today,
breaking out by himself he beat Chicago goalkeeper, Jeff Richey for his
first #MISL score. Leading 5-4, the Comets controlled play for the rest
of the quarter while Chicago sat back in a defensive shell. At half
the Comets led 5-4 on the strength of Palmer’s goal.
In
another night of firsts, Milan Ivanovic recorded his first three point
goal midway through the third quarter. Unfortunately it was bookended
by two goals from Chicago’s Bato Radonic. Both of his goals were inside
the arc so the score at the end of the third quarter was tied at 8
points each.
Although
recorded with only 18 shots, the Comets peppered Jeff Richey in the
fourth quarter as they looked for the go-ahead score. Unfortunately
that go-ahead score came from Freddy DeGand of Chicago. With a restart
from just inside the arc, he was able to find the goal and the Soul
lead. Carlos Munoz increased that lead to 13-8 four minutes later off a
restart from near the yellow line. His shot was just inside the
defensive wall and Comets goalkeeper was screened as the shot went into
the net.
