Diablos vs. Soccer Guru

For those who doubted the rationale behind the name of my blog, I present for your viewing pleasure these photos from the Diablos' match against Soccer Guru. This was the second game of the fall season for the Diablos, following an impressive comeback victory in their season opener. Despite twice falling behind by a goal, the team managed to gain a 2-2 tie to remain unbeaten.
