Chestatee goalkeeper Andres Olivas made a big save in regulation just to get the game to overtime, another in overtime to get to penalty kicks, and another early in penalty kicks to keep the War Eagles alive. His reward? With the score tied 4-4 after the first five penalty kicks, he watched as Johnson’s sixth penalty kick attempt sailed high and wide — the first missed shot in PKs by either team — followed by Edwin Villafranco’s game-winning penalty kick in the left corner to secure the War Eagles’ 1-0 win over the Knights.
