The King's University Eagles Mens Soccer team takes on the Lakeland College Rustlers in their home opener at GLC field at The King's University!

From the start of the game, the two teams played different styles.  Lakeland College Rustlers aimed to be very direct and transition based while The King's Eagles was very posession based, in hopes to break down the opponent. 

In the first half the Eagles bombarded the Rustles with a plethora of attacks to which the Rustlers held strong against waiting for a counter attack and came up close in a few attacks. The first half would remain 0-0 as based on the two teams' styles, it could be anyone's game.

The Eagles came close to opening up the game were denied by the crossbar as #19 Matheus Milani just couldn't beat the pipe off a corner kick. However the Eagles drew blood in the 54th minute as #12 Abe Jones played a give and go along the opponent's endline to #11 Razak Mugarwa and earned space to score a back post, to break the deadlock. The Rustlers aimed to remain dangerous, yet the Eagles were able to thwart off further Rustler attacks. The game concluded as a 1-0 victory for the Eagles.
