The Diablos dropped a 2-0 decision to a superior Atletico Medina team at the Schertz Soccer Complex. Battling against a strong wind in the first half, the Diablos gave up an early goal on a curving corner kick that found the top corner of the net just inside the far post. The second goal came with less than a minute left in the opening period in an unusual fashion, as chronicled below.
