Two minutes into the second half, Green was awarded a penalty kick. Chris Egg-Krings put it away for a 2-0 lead. Green pulled away late in the second half as Dominic Lupinacci slotted a goal into the corner of the net with 10 minutes remaining.

CHAMPIONSHIP RECAP
A slow start for Red with White controlling play and generating a few solid chances in the first 10 minutes. Red was able to weather the storm, and the game was back-and-forth through the first half with neither team able to break through for a goal. Red had a goal disallowed about 15 minutes into the second half. A few minutes later Red capitalized on a rare error from White in the back as Mason LeSage came out of goal to make a pass and was intercepted by Dean DerSimonian about 35 yards out. Dean was able to find the back of the net to give Red a 1-0 lead. Red’s GK Ryan Devine then made an unbelievable save against Carson Lonner to keep Red up 1-0. White’s Georgi Pehlivanov was able to get White level with about 10 minutes left after Red was unable to clear the ball in their own box. Georgi used his strength and finesse to even the score. Regulation ended 1-1. Overtime saw Red generate a plethora of chances but Mason LeSage was consistently up to the task. White also cleared a ball off the line to keep the score level and force PKs. PKs were Red Goal, White miss wide, Red Goal, White miss wide, Red Goal, White Goal, Red Goal. Red wins 4-1 on PKs.
Red PK scorers: Dean Dersimonian, Tim Jaffe, Joe Gangl, Umar Savinson.
SEMIFINAL RECAP
Gold vs Red
Gold started strong and took the lead off a pure effort goal from Jon “Batman” Fuydal. Red drew level on a John Trueman goal after some nifty passing in the box. A few minutes later, Red took a 2-1 lead off a shot from Umar Savinson. The half ened 2-1 Red. A few minutes into the second half, Red added a 3rd on a header from Kevin Cox off a restart. On the ensuing tap after the goal, Conor Bailey dribbled through the Red team and earns a PK. Bailey stepped up to the spot only to have Red’s GK Ryan Devine turn it away to keep the 2 goal cushion. Peter Bockarie brought Gold one goal closer with a tap-in from a few yards out, only to miss the tying chance a few minutes later on a similar play. With Gold pushing in the final minutes to get the equalizer, Dean Dersimonian found the back of the net on a quick counter to give Red a 4-2 lead and sealed the victory for Red.
Royal Blue vs White
Royal Blue took the lead 15 min in on a goal from Jason Moran from a loose ball inside the 18. The two teams battled ferociously throughout the game until midway through second half Erik Katz pulled White even on a wild bicycle kick from inside the six yard box. The battle continued in overtime but no golden goal was scored, so the game would have to be decided on PKs. PKs started with James Celucci from Royal Blue striking an excellent shot to the corner, far out of the reach of White goalie Mason LeSage, while Brendon Mendelson was stopped by Royal Blue Goalie Karan Nair. Each team then put away the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Pks, then Mason Lesage made a big save on Royal Blue’s 5th shot. White put away their 5th to make it 4 – 4 then both teams made the 6th. Mason LeSage again showed why he is one of the best goalies in the league by stopping Royal Blue’s 7th and then Don Reilly sealed the win for White.

CHAMPIONSHIP RECAP
After an abbreviated regular season that was cut even shorter by the corona virus, the 2020 Championship was an exciting conclusion to a another great CASL season. Much like the semifinal match, Green had less possession than their opponent, but took their chances on counter attacks. Blue threatened several times in both halves, with Championship MVP Pat Walsh coming up with save after save. Blue’s best chance came from Jon Fuydal in the first half, but Walsh was up to the task. Austin Wilk, Peter Bockarie and Jordan Lian all created opportunities for Blue as well. Colin Raws and Carson Lonner powered through 80 minutes of back and forth play in the midfield to keep Green in the game and Lonner eventually assisted on the game winning goal by Paul Nusspickel. Lonner served the ball across the goal mouth in front of the keeper and Nusspickel had a sliding effort at the far post to put it in the back of the net. Blue made a valiant effort to get the equalizer and send the match into overtime, but Walsh and his mates did what it took to maintain the shut out and take the 2020 CASL Championship.
SEMIFINAL RECAP
White vs Green
It was a tight battle for the entire match between White and Green, with White maintaining more possession and Green launching counter attacks whenever possible. White had 12 shots on goal to Green’s one, but Pat Walsh was in the right spot for Green every time. With 3 minutes left in the 2nd half, Green was on a counter attack when a pass to John Underwood was accidentally redirected past Anthony Noel for an own goal. A very fortunate turn of events for Green and 1st year captain Jesse Hart, but a disappointing result for White and captain Joe Gangl after their 1st place finish and undefeated record during the regular season.
Blue vs Red
Blue got off to a quick start with a goal 10 minutes in by Zach Haines off of a nice volley on a corner kick by Austin Wilk. Blue kept the pressure on and Zach Haines finished again from the six near the far post when Austin Wilk’s free kick found it’s way through Red’s defense. Red’s Radnor and Haverford high school boys and their mentors did not give up in the 2nd half. Jack Pezzino had a great game in goal to keep Red from scoring until a late strike from Tim McGrath made the game 2-1. The Blue back line withstood the pressure from Red as the game wore on but were able to hold out for the playoff win for 1st year captains Andrew Cirino and Clay Dudek.

Team Guindon (White) takes home the 2019 CASL championship with a 4-0 win over Team Caruolo (Green)! DerSimonian opened the scoring in the 5th minute with a shot (cross?) that found the upper corner of the net. Green battled and put together dominant stretches of play in the first half but were unable to score. After half time it was all White, Sullivan scored on a thunderous header off of a corner and minutes later Severini beat the wall on a set piece to make the score 3-0. Green mounted several good scoring opportunities, forcing white’s keeper, Noel, to make a hand full of spectacular saves. Lonner sealed the game with a bending shot that found the corner to put team Guindon up 4-0. The championship game MVP went to Sullivan!

Semi-Finals
Blue vs Green
Blue and Green faced off in the first semifinal. The season series that was tight, each with a win and tie.
Blue was the aggressor in the first moments of the game, controlled possession, and forcing Green’s stand-in keeper, Dan Every, to make a crafty touch save around the post. Two players that had significant injuries this year for blue scored in the first half. Kevin Moulton streaked from his back position and
scored low far post to open the scoring, and Tim White added another to make the score 2-0 at half.
The second half started just as the first half, with Blue on possession against and Green team without a sub. Scott Anderson finished a delicate header into the top corner to make it 3-0 Blue. However, Green came roaring back with some great counter-play, and due to some crafty play up top from Joe and John Caruolo, and Tim McGrath, applied some pressure to the Blue defense, getting a ball to hit the post. Green got a goal from a bouncing ball in the 18, and in the final few minutes the intensity grew. Time ran out, and the game ended 3-1 Blue.

White vs Orange
Following an impressive performance from the Blue team, the top seeded White team hosted the 4 seed Orange in a late night affair that turned out to be an instant CASL classic. The first half started with Orange applying the early pressure, but it was White who absorbed the early pressure and capitalized first about midway through the first half. A ball played into the box and beautifully flicked on to Austin Wilkes who slotted it near post for the game’s first goal. Orange continued to apply pressure and had it’s best opportunity late in the first half off a Ryan Murray shot labeled for the top corner. But Mason Lesage made an incredible diving save to rob Murray late in the first half and preserve White’s 1-0 lead heading into halftime.
The 2nd half began with Orange pushing forward and looking for an equalizer, but it was White who would score again on a throw-in from the left side of the field into the box where Wilkes was able to knock home his 2nd of the night and give White a 2-0 lead with 10 minutes remaining in the game. Orange did not give up though and were able to pull one back minutes later on a scramble in the box and eventual flicked header by Jordan Miller to cut the lead in half. And then moments later Andrew Cooper finished a volley into the right corner to even the score with less than 5 minutes remaining. The game ended 2-2 after regulation, with extra time and potential PKs to follow.
Momentum seemed to be on Orange’s side as they had several chances early in the first half of extra time, and one that Sam Robinson of the White team had to clear off the goal line. White had it’s opportunity moments later from a header off a corner that went just wide of the goal. Late in the first half of extra time, Alex Eggs-Krings found the ball on his foot at the top of the box and made no mistake with a calm finish into the bottom left corner of goal for the game winner to send Orange through to the Championship game.
