Instant Classic: Corona del Mar defeats JSerra in regional semifinals

Corona del Mar defeated JSerra 3-2 in the Division 2 regional semifinals, but CDM's head coach George Larson was in mood to celebrate.

He chided the referees for giving in to JSerra's diving. One instance in particular really irritated Larson. In the 8th minute, CDM's Matt Francini was called for fouling Juan Guitierrez, which resulted in a penalty kick. JSerra ended up tying the game 1-1 on that PK, and according to Larsen, that's when the game turned ugly.

Both teams were called for numerous fouls, in a physical matchup that saw players picking up plenty of grass stains. Three goals were scored in the first ten minutes of play, while the Sea Kings goal keeper Connor Gaal made some spectacular saves.

Highlights and interviews with CDM head coach George Larsen and Reed Williams who scored two goals.
