The Delta Blaze have completed a perfect regular season run in Richmond Adult Soccer Association’s Summer League First Division play.
The Blaze edged the Vancouver Greencaps 1-0 for their 12th consecutive win — marking the first time in league history a team has won every match.
They now move on to face the Rinos Originals in the semi-finals of the Danny Burns Challenge Cup, while Binger’s Army takes on Rinos Tigers in the other match-up.
Brad Caldwell produced the match’s only goal 30 minutes in when he sent a volley over the Greencaps’ goalkeeper.
Meanwhile, there was plenty of exciting action in quarter-final play of the Division Two Sportstown Cup.
Regular season champion United Nations took on Ex-Pats FC in a thriller that saw both sides come inches away from scoring.
United's Fraser Kirkland hit the crossbar and when the ball bounced back to him EPFC's keeper Lloyd August made a startling save to keep the game scoreless. Shortly after EPFC got a break but Edgar Lopez smashed one off United's crossbar.
Both sides continued to hit framework and the match seemed destined to go to overtime. But with 10 minutes left, Ali Khasin blasted a shot past August for the winning goal. United now face the Vancouver Strikers or Metropolitan FC in the next round.
