“Another hard game that the Boilermakers had against Abingdon,” Coach Jesus Bermudez said. “Abingdon had very fast players, but Kewanee knew how to control them.

“The home team had a couple of players injured so we had to use our subs, which did awesome,” Bermudez said.

Abingdon scored first when Kewanee looked like they had control of the game. 

“Kewanee started playing harder, they were not taking another loss,” Bermudez said. 

At minute 38 of second half Isidro Martinez had a great kick that left Abingdon’s goalie with no chance to react, the coach said. Alonso Corral had an assist on the goal.

The game ended in a tie, 1-1.
