FT AET That’s the match! Linoma FC are your Gateway Conference Champions!

Not without drama though. A last chance from Ehtar went off the post after beating Simpson, but no one was there to put home.

Linoma 2-1 Ehtar

115’ Close for Ehtar!! A bad pass is intercepted by Ehtar’s Graeme Mills who gets one on one with Simpson way out of the box. The quick striker rounds Simpson but slips and the ball is cut out by the defense just before it crosses the goal line!

111’ Ehtar is pushing now while Linoma is pinned back a bit. A couple of well forced fouls have given Ehtar some close chances, but both have been dealt with capably by the defense. Still time, but it is ticking away.

Linoma 2-1 Ehtar

Omaha Club Flush @omahaclubflush.bsky.social · Jul 27

HT ET Linoma almost puts another in off a free kick scramble in the box. Oumar reacts quickest but puts the ball just over. Ehtar are looking tired and are back on their heels. 15 more minutes to a championship.

103’ GOAL Linoma! A cross ball comes in to Oumar who manages to settle the ball in the box. Despite the Ehtar defense taking the ball off him, it falls to Luka Nedic for an open goal shot from about 10 yards out!

98’ More forward play from Linoma, the ball comes to rest in the center of Ehtar’s box, but the clearance only goes just a few yards outside the area. A rocket shot out toward goal is gathered by some strong hands and quick reaction to keep the match level.

Linoma 1-1 Ehtar

91’ Linoma with the first early chance as a low cross from Oumar Sissoko is just out of reach and claimed by the Ehtar keeper.

FT This one is off to extra time! The late equalizer gave Linoma the confidence and momentum, but they couldn’t finish it off in regulation. Two more 15-minute halves for the Cup!

Linoma 1-1 Ehtar

Omaha Club Flush @omahaclubflush.bsky.social · Jul 27

88’ Linoma almost take the lead! A quick attack and shot from the left was headed for the far corner, but a diving effort by the Ehtar keeper just does enough to push the ball away. Linoma is feeling it now and momentum has shifted.

Linoma 1-1 Ehtar

84’ GOAL Linoma! Off a free kick recycled, Braydon Shepard gets on the end of a cross-shot rebound and puts it in the back of the net! A long time coming, but finally on the board.

Linoma 1-1 Ehtar

75’ Second water break still sees Linoma looking for the equalizer. They own more of the possession, but can’t find any kind of a breakthrough. Ehtar are sitting back well and have been very close on the counter to doubling the lead.

Linoma 0-1 Ehtar

Omaha Club Flush @omahaclubflush.bsky.social · Jul 27

67’ A physical passage of play sees Linoma force a turnover that leads to a shot on the left side. Luka Nedic puts his boot through it, but just over the bar

Linoma 0-1 Ehtar

Omaha Club Flush @omahaclubflush.bsky.social · Jul 27

60’ First water break and Linoma look a little better, but can’t catch a break. A couple of good chances haven’t panned out while Ehtar looks to slow things down and counter. Still work to do, though.

Linoma 0-1 Ehtar

Omaha Club Flush @omahaclubflush.bsky.social · Jul 27

51’ Ehtar’s keeper is down on the pitch after a hard tumble over the Linoma attacker. Controversial as it looked like the keeper went through the player to get the ball, but there’s ref gives the free kick to Ehtar.

Linoma 0-1 Ehtar

46’ Second half is underway with work left to do for the hosts.

Linoma 0-1 Ehtar

HT Probably a deserved lead for Ehtar, but Linoma will feel let down to give up the lead so late. The long ball and pace attack has been effective, but Linoma haven’t been without chances. The second half is still there for the taking, but there’s some cleanup for Linoma to do.

Linoma 0-1 Ehtar
