74' - Here comes Aluko...it's a corner. Barcellos clamoring for a penalty or a card, but he's not gonna get it. Hey buddy, you're already leading, shouldn't that be enough for you?
75' - Corner for Athletica.
Substitution St. Louis Athletica
IN 6 Kia McNeill
OUT 15 Amanda Cinalli
76' - Fletcher is there to intercept that long pass.
77' - Substitution Los Angeles Sol
IN 16 Lyndsey Patterson
OUT 6 McCall Zerboni
Substitution St. Louis Athletica
IN 14 Melissa Tancredi
OUT 11 Angie Woznuk
78' - No foul, says Domka. Play on.
79' - And Ellertson continues to mark Marta's every move. If the Sol drop this game, the magic number remains three, but if Boston loses this weekend, Los Angeles will still clinch.
81' - Free kick LA. Yellow card to McNeill.
82' - Solo grabs that one.
84' - Another sensational defensive display from Barcellos's club.
86' - Can the Sol even salvage a draw on this corner? They have to get something going, and that was not a good shot from Boxx. Shooting has been off. Passing has been off. They can't capitalize on corners out of a wet paper bag.
This has been the story today for LA.
88' - St. Louis again marking the living daylights out of Los Angeles. Somewhere deep in the annals of Abner Rogers' mental playbook, he's going to need to make some changes heading into their next game against FC Gold Pride. He can't be pleased with this.
89' - Solo again! She is my player of the match today.
90' - Offsides Los Angeles.
Substitution St. Louis Athletica
IN 19 Nikki Cross
OUT 9 Eniola Aluko
Three minutes of stoppage time added.
91' + 2' - And we are seeing some roughhouse tactics to close out this one.
FINAL
LOS ANGELES SOL 0
ST. LOUIS ATHLETICA 1
Cinalli 11'
That's a wrap. And this 2009 Los Angeles Sol home season closes with a whimper, not a bang.
I'm putting even money on these two teams meeting for the championship.
Who's with me?
