Soccer Tournament

A week ago I took both girls to a soccer tournament in Oklahoma City. K played in a tournament and the girls made it to the finals. With a few minutes left in the game a girl on the other team was throwing the ball in and she lifted her foot which is an illegal play. The two line judges called it but the main referee didn't and the other team went in to score. The line judges explained to the referee what had happened and he said he didn't care, he was counting the point. Within a minute or two he called the game. The coach on the other team showed exceptional sportsmanship by refusing the point. He said he didn't want to win on an illegal play. So without the point the score was 0-0 and we went into overtime. At the end of overtime the score was yet again 0-0. Each team was given 5 penalty kicks and whichever team had the most points was the winner. K. was first up and made her kick but her team ended up losing 0-1. It was a very emotional game but it was fun to watch the girls work so hard.
