Playoff Game #2: Irmo Defeats Spartanburg

Post compliments (in part) of clemsonsoccer07 on SCSoccer.com

Irmo 6 - Spartanburg 3

Spartanburg was awarded a PK in the first minute when the Irmo keeper was given a red card. Spartanburg capitalized on the PK and went up 1-0. They had another goal on a flick from a long throw and a third goal on a great individual run and some lazy defending. Irmo was down 3-0 with about 15 minutes left in the first half. The Irmo boys never gave up and pulled one goal back with 4 minutes to go in the half on precision strike from Trent Morgan . Irmo got a second point back with only about 2 left and the half ended 3-2. At that point you could definitely feel the momentum shift Irmo's way and Spartanburg was on their heels from then on out. Irmo went on to score 4 more goals in the second half, all a man down. The 6th and final goal was one of the dirtiest goals I've seen in a long time. Taylor Varney froze two defenders in the box, making them both dive to the ground after faking the shot and came to the keeper and made him dive to the ground after faking the shot for the third time before cooly tapping it in the back of the net. The Irmo boys showed a great deal of poise and determination to pull themselves out of a 3-0 hole with only 10 men. GOOD LUCK!!!
