Angelus slips past Augusta 1-0 in UPSL D1 Georgia South clash
Laris penalty kick claims all three points
It was a Camren Laris penalty kick that provided the lone goal on Sunday afternoon as Angelus slipped past the Augusta Arsenal Soccer Team 1-0 in USPL D1 Georgia South action.
The loss was the first setback for Augusta this season, who now hold a 3W-1L-1T (10 points) record in second place in the conference as Angelus moves to the top spot with a 3W-1L-2T (11 points) record.
It was a game of missed chances for Augusta and counter-attacking soccer for Angelus over the 90 minutes under cloudy skies and windy conditions at the Augusta Soccer Park.
The match looked to be heading to the break scoreless but a foul in the 35th minute inside the Augusta area sent Camren Laris to the spot where he converted the chance low to the left corner after a shuffling, stutter-stepping approach to the ball to smash it home.
Augusta dialed up the pressure in the second half and earned a penalty in the 85th minute looking to level the match, but the ensuing spot kick ran wide of the target glancing off the left post keeping Angelus in the advantage.
Angelus will next host Atlanta City FC on Saturday, October 25 at 7 PM. The match will be played at the Macon Soccer Club complex.
Augusta will be on the road at Lagrange as they travel on Sunday, October 26 to play UMA FC II at Russell County HS. Kickoff is set for 4 PM.
