[Music] between Michigan stars and Inter Detroit welcome aboard everybody Mason Lowry and Chris black great to have you along for this one and it’s a rematch of maybe the best independent Cup match of 2023 it took extra time in a late goal from Milo Barton to give the Stars a 3-2 win we’ll see if some similar heroics can happen this time you think you think that’s on someone’s mind right now on one side the Detroit sides think hey we can do this again but get that goal early and hang on don’t let Barton get on the other end of it on the other side in the Michigan star side they’re not going to forget that right they’re going to come out Revitalize lineup today come out ready but but a little bit loose uh because it is exciting day for them as well for other reasons but I think this is a game that you imagine yes it’s all in the Stars hands but as it was last year but a little different team this year for into Detroit sitting more to the middle of the pack than nwpl Great Lakes whereas last year they ran away with it a bit yeah as they did the year prior for Michigan Stars it’s kind of a Bittersweet night and not at all a good night for Ascend off it’s raining sideways the wind is really really really whipping around but it’ll be the final appearance in the red and white the Michigan stars all white in fact this evening in their traditional home kits for several regular starters Steven yunai Colin strippling Andre shalot Hunter Olsen and Elias McLoud they’re all moving on to play in Slovenia for the club just purchased by George yunai the owner of Michigan Stars so it’s kind of the end of an era and the closing of a chapter so to speak yeah it certainly is and those guys were missing plus some others in the last game right here at barnabo field so it’s exciting to get those guys back in to see and revitalized lineup but you know a number of guys are going to be added back to the Rost have been gone for a little bit so it’s exciting to see what happens next but obviously you got to take care of what’s in front of you and that is this competition today and of course the Stars want to make sure they take care of business enter Detroit a familiar opponent to both the senior team of the Michigan Stars whom they met last year in the independent cup as we said but the Michigan stars under 23 is the semi-pro team they play in the great lakes east division of the Midwest premier league as well right now the stars under 23s are above Detroit in the standings inter has three matches remaining in League Play and in fact a loss in their last game 4 to two ensures that they cannot three repeat in their division so they don’t have a league title to play for but they can pick off the closest professional team to them geographically in advance to the next round of the Great Lakes division of the independent Cup winner this one will get pass FC out of Grand Rapids on the road in the next round imagine those bragging rights many affected today if Victor Detroit pulls off the upset that also gives pretty big bragging rights to Michigan stars u23s as well there’s going to be all sorts of arguments going on from there no one wants to be a part of that in this Michigan star Senior Team that’s for sure so the stars in the light uniforms enter Detroit in the dark jerseys and off we go in the independent cup for 2024 glad to have you along on Nissa plus and YouTube and the Michigan soccer Network good read by Praise mukay who has really come a long way I think playing up top over the course of this season something he really had not done until he got into camp with this team in the spring he’s found the back of the net four times now playing behind big Leon merri it’s now the Stars leading scorer tenda MCCA is back in goal for the Stars Sako Kate is back at Center back Steven yunai praise muku Robert yunai Collins stripping Andis shalad Hunter Olson Elias McLoud Leon merri and the more than welcome return of Yakov schev playing at left back tonight was with the stars in their Championship season departed Midway through last year to go and play in Gibralter and now is back for the remainder of this [Music] year Sebastian Kazuki no longer with the Stars so that means strippling who has in kind of a holding Midfield role for much of the season for the Stars drops back into one of the two Center back slots partnering [Music] Kate methodical possession of the opening 90 seconds from Michigan stars that scoop forward from Elias McLoud to Hunter Olsen but unable to play in Leon marriage there and cullin mcneel off his line for inter Detroit to mop that up not bad the hunter ol just try to clip a ball in nice and easy didn’t want the Run that’s why he didn’t hit it very hard but at the same point that soft ball gives a chance for Colin mcneel to come out and clean that up so mcneel in goal for inter Detroit Nick Yono Edwin Gomez Ruiz alhassan Yaya a late addition to the starting lineup for them Andre billis a really good effective goal scorer out of Troy Michigan and a real handful of 6’3 Partners Ryan bovy up top Paul scotus Andrew smutek Doug Hanner Eddie Hudson the third who is just in Camp with the Philippines under 19 national team and Zane ail round out the starting 11 that cross comes in from Doug Hanner dealt with by the Stars here’s scotus who was part of the starting lineup last year that independent Cup match in which inner Detroit took Michigan Stars to the Limit canate good read of course he’s got a bit of margin for error doesn’t he at 6’6 and his legs are so darn long yeah just bit of margin they missed him La last week a guy like that he can eat up ground getting back but on set pieces such a Target in the air the same thing defending set pieces he can just float play a little bit of Zone and go win a ball Muke bat a fair bit deeper than we are used to seeing him sends that straight out of play I think he lost his footing easy to do on a day like this the aftermath of hurricane Barrel has uh kind of socked the northern Midwest that’s going to be it obviously field turf field so it’s not going to get any worse you’re not going to have holes not going to be digging up like that but you’re not able to we a longer studs that so you’re just wearing your regular TPU plastic studs going to be some moments where you’re just going to slip it is what it is Zayn ail bashes that through and canate was a little bit casual initially with bie putting him under a bit of pressure recovers nicely though back to to tenda MCA wearing the captain’s armband again for the [Music] Stars it’s going to be weird seeing a Michigan Stars team that doesn’t have Andes chaot in he has been with the Stars for quite a while part of that first niss Squad and in fact I think he predates the Nissa team that play back in npsl a while ago that’s brought down but Han or unable to get a shot on target but duqu helps it clear and here comes Hunter Olsson I chatted with him briefly before kickoff he is really looking forward to taking the next step in his career moving over to Slovenia hopefully they can find a inexpensive five-bedroom house for the five uh Michigan Stars players that are going to head on over there I was just thinking it’s been nice to watch his career from the Press Box over the last few years at at different clubs and I mean I’m not opposed to going to Slovenia doing a game or two just throwing that out there if anyone’s listening if the Slovenian league needs English language commentary that’s right they don’t have to look too far I I can sleep on that five-bedroom house cot or like a couch maybe I can sleep there for a night or two they have me Leon merage it stayed on side yunai popping that through a that was a good Ball but Eddie Hudson at the last moment got a foot in there and dispossessed trying to come away but strippling is back got to it ahead of Andre bis Muk lost his footing again still going forward as Gomez Ruiz went to ground here’s [Music] shaut it’s not just uh prais mukay that’s slipping and sliding we’re seeing it from a number of players from both teams shev gets wiped out welcome back to n young man y probably not a tackle that need be made either except for just the fact that maybe maybe schm looked like he needed a welcome him back in that moment I think that was going to be a turnover then again I think he felt that tackle coming well it’s tough when you’ve not played at this level before sometimes to deal with the physicality of it it is an extremely physical League I do wonder what the standard is like on the Rock of Gibralter decent ball in but right behind AAL kick or Cullen mcneel a Harvard Man though he’s from Rochester Michigan in fact out of high school he was considered to be the best goalkeeper in his graduating class that wasn’t affiliated with an MLs Club he’s kicked around various USL League two squads the last couple of Summers the likes of Oakland County which is where Hunter Olson played before joining Michigan stars and Flint City bucks also got to the National Tournament in USL 2 last year scotus cannot prevent that from running out of play for a Thro in and we may not see too many more Hunter Olsen long Thro inss though luckily for the Stars they may lose hunter Olsen among others but Anthony buoy is going to be back very soon so last year it kind of depended on which side of the pitch the throw needed to come from whether or not Buie or ol would make the long throw instead it’s a short one from Robert [Music] yunai bis being held pulled down by McLoud and that’s a free kick for inter Detroit currently fifth out of the 10 teams in the midwest Premier League Great Lakes East final three matches of the Season all away from home it’s bovie from Clarkston [Music] Michigan oh Andis jokovic he wants that Touchback oh he got caught right there I wonder if that may be bothering I’m GNA bring that up after the game well he’s going to have his work cut out for him too trying to get what will be a a very newly put together squad for the rest of the niss season getting them all to gel in a hurry they do have a bit of a buffer between themselves and the third place team and the Eastern Conference in Nissa but the next time we’re here doing a League match a little over a month from now Chris it’s going to look very very different that’s part of the fun of coaching right you put and the Championships are fun to chase down and win but problem solving bringing players along the career is is really enjoyable for coach CH Muk had almost played Inon Merit at one end at the other sacko Kate with really good tackle awkward to play against with his size here’s Andres shalot and the Run came from yunai but the ball didn’t find him and Detroit’s throw in nine minutes in you see what he’s trying to do Ste yunai allowed some space in behind they accelerate trying to get a diagonal run in behind but CR to enter Detroit they absorbed it dropped back a little bit and dealt with the the passing Lane hey there’s Paul scotus who has played collegiately both Dayton and Old Dominion that’s shmev snapping into one he’s very comfortable playing in the center of Defense also as he scoots back out to the wing the Stars teams ofo had so many interchangeable parts and and Buie coming back and schof coming back that that’s going to be well needed over the near future as they figure out number one who they can get who they can attain who they can bring in who they can also bring up off that really really successful U23 team but of course some of those guys they’re they’re not ready for that step anyways they have a college you know team to go back for anyways but think about that the flexibility of some of these players is going to be huge in the coming month well and we’ll talk to Chris MCN the GM who I believe is going to join us at halftime for a few minutes up here in the booth to chat about everything that’s gone on the last few weeks in terms of George inshi acquiring another club and how that changes what Chris himself has to do long for merit just out of his reach and you know in Seasons past you hate to say it but other clubs have ceased to exist in the middle of the year and there have been guys all over Nissa looking for places to play and you can kind of pick up guys here and there that has not happened so far this season thank goodness know two years ago the championship season they were able to bring in Kyle Nelson and Steven Elias from Valley United when they went business in Midstream and those two had a major impact on a team that went on to win the league reading Alby and San Diego in the league championship match that was here seems like a lot knew when to move and when to move on true you won it two years in a row with flower City Union Kyle Nelson as well free kick taken too quickly by Edwin Gomez [Music] Ruiz not quite year to quickly against the United States but definitely still too quickly no cards were in the middle of being awarded or anything the official was on it tightened it up McLoud challenged for that back to MCA really nothing of not has been created in these first 12 minutes it’s been played at uh kind of walking pace thus far I did find smell of all the way up the field though he went from outside left back to almost the highest player in the field for the stars and now a couple diagonal balls from the outside backs not not a bad place to be didn’t work out this time but that’s something that’ll be very happy to have back camera okay you know guy that’s able to slide up the field as as well as shov does and hit that long diagonal ball if it’s closed down to him so things no no I just I can help you I going to say not uh many ball kids out here tonight which is understandable when it’s as frankly Miserable weatherwise as it is yeah you have to tether them down depending on how big their jacket is it float away at this point it is much too late in the summer to be wearing a jacket yet here we are it spins out for another star throw in this might be Hunter Olson range or perhaps not now y wanted to take it a hurry and now Hunter will Trot over carved out a really good career for himself another USL League 2 veteran after college and during college at Calvin and that slipped right out of his hands and that is the risky run when you do try the long throw in these conditions olon that’s a good ball trying to find Lon merage who at full stretch unable to make contact hey Hunter OS rescued that didn’t he got in and got the ball back and at least got almost a chance out of it it’s several times now they stars have had just that last ball let him down with a little bit too much of a lead not really knocking on the door just more of loitering on the porch at this point and not really getting to the point of put that final try to get in the door just standing outside the window and hoping someone sees and invites you in if it continues we’ll have to assume they’re holding up a boom box and say [Laughter] anything anything by Peter Gabriel will do Yak schm of Russian born immigrated to the states with his mother at age nine played college soccer in Washington and now as we said back for the rest of this campaign we doke from a cloud really good creative midfielder Muk has got great pace and might be able to keep this in play while he tried but he was unable to plant and get across in he have uh having some real issues with his footing tonight see us slow guys would be an advantage wouldn’t affect me at all yeah slow plotters we’re not going to slip I don’t need bad weather to fall down I’ll have you [Music] it’ll coming together between strippling and bis you can hear asking for a foul nothing [Music] coming now on Friday nights in the fall at this Stadium that’s incidental contact that’s knocked w too far back smutch has to go recover this Stars attempting to press and wi the ball back hasn’t happened yet you had pointed out to me I was out of the country for the last Stars home match against Club De Leon when CDL came here and went back to Florida with a 3-1 victory that outside of Leon marage the high press wasn’t really there for the stars and I’ll have you pick up that thought in a minute there’s the cross to the the edge of the box and that’s a good little one two and a chance for Detroit to open the scoring but good goalkeeping from mcua and an Isa kill yeah you knew mccre was going to come out for that too they probably need a second runner see right here he steps immediately never slows down always closing that space they need that second runner cuz he’s going to take up that angle you’re going to have to go around him with that ball and it’s not going to be able to be on frame anyways you could have put that ball back across the frame to the far post to someone run it in it’s probably your best bet it’s Eddie Hudson the third cross only just barely makes it to and then stays in the 18 well you really want to just dig in and defend when you’re going against the wind which is what in Detroit is doing in this first half didn’t allow the advantage to go that’s an interesting decision I don’t think the Stars think much of that hate to go back to us games being officiated but maybe that’s the new thing now squishing out Advantage opportunities that seemed pretty pretty quite dry they moving down the field I mean no I don’t know many teams that really want that ball 70 yards away from uh the other team’s goal but might have Al just been offici didn’t realize what was on that’s the only mistake of this game that would be the best officiated soccer game in the history of the world to be fair [Music] Kate rampaging forward there’s merage trip down the turn we play on yunai with uh out his big 65 Bosnian teamate to a at haven’t really been able to build much of anything organically into Detroit they’ve had to come forward on counters and now a free kick for them conceded by Kate yeah that kind of seemed more like hey you’re really tall so you got a fou type thing cuz Kate just think his arms end up draping over the player but anytime you do that you do risk the official assuming what’s going on didn’t look like there was any Force to it but it was enough to make the call popped up by shmev and marage knocked down for Olen yunai to his left finds him skips away from his Defender Andrew smutch yunai the cross nice try had to dig that out in a hurry with active feet but didn’t find Olsen crashing the [Music] Box here’s another look at this great opportunity from a couple of minutes ago by Zane ail the tendon mccrew is just so good off his line whether it’s to receive a ball at his feet or to close somebody down I mean he almost looked like he was daring him to try to Meg him it was almost look he’s had a pretty wide stance opened up for it is probably looking to close and get tight on the shot sh and said he didn’t have to was able to deal with it as he was Muke pulled down i’ love seeing MCR in a goalie War so be amazing goalie Wars 1 V1 goalie Wars or like a 2v2 goalie Wars a keeper a keeper and a field player each just Working The Angles getting forward of course he’s a goalkeeper and a field player all at once oh yeah yep yeah he he’s the uh The Keeper in demand that type of style over the last few years now but I’d probably say one of the more confident ones with the ball at his feet and he should be sha bun stayed on side Paul scotus puts it behind stars have a corner that was a good ball to find shot’s chest yeah I think kind of figure that Shela made that decision he wasn’t going to make another play on that ball win that corner cuz he would have been under pressure and pretty tight space might changing into a goal kick and star is so good at corner kicks anyways might why not take this opportunity St yunai going to hit that with the right it’s going to bend away from the go official’s checking a yeah it’s on the line there we go close enough yeah appreciate the official checking yunai deep Corner Olson thought about running onto it but knew he was never going to get there left to settle for another cracket along throw in if he could keep the ball dry enough for it to not just slip out of his hands as it did last time much better delivery and canate get up for that not quite though he did make contact he’ll do the same there and merriage back to Robert yunai that shot took a deflection into the chest of cullin mcneel gave mcneel a little bit of a problem though didn’t it maybe just that Bobble or changed to the spin didn’t bring it in clean that being said Nike does not make an aqua glove so I’ll just throw that out there might just be the you see that replay right there see the little Bob right he took his he took his eyes off at touch he’s probably worried about his positioning off after that after that deflection how cool would it have been to see Robert yunai score his first professional goal in his brother’s final game for the club before going to Slovenia almost tucked away that official Zara ball of Nissa y see right there McNeil kind of looked down to his left just a touch went up to the ball bounc up to his right just that one good chance for inter Detroit so far that great stop by MCA on Akil ah taken right back by Leon marage well played and that scooped ahead for Hunter Olson but he won’t get to it [Music] could really get a sense for just how hard this wind is right now just knocking that ball straight down flag was up on the far side yeah little bit little bit earlier come back from an offside position and receive it stars are actually pretty fortunate smell of it come all the way across got really Central cuz they had to they had the squeeze they didn’t have anyone to deal with the a long diagonal cross but they got into Detroit facing their own goal able to push him back a little bit they’re never able to be opened up and play that diagonal ball Mar twisting and turning one back ultimately by inter line to the feet of bis that’s haer oh nice tackle Muk stuck with it real quick and light on his feet to be able to move with it clean tackle got that ball poked away and there’s a player in there for sure and I expect we’ll see him in a lot of different roles with the players that either have left or are about to leave Neils luch and Brady Walker have also Departed yeah not really sure where he is in his development but you think he could be really effective right now on the flank on the wide side wide spaces but they have plenty of players for that but as as people leave suddenly opportunities open up a bit well there’ll be two open spots on the flanks three really because shalot and Olson and Steven yunai can all play on either side and Olson can drop back in the Midfield he can play the eight or the 10 or either flank [Music] elas McLoud got stepped on by [Music] bis ouch the top of your foot doesn’t get any protection does it especially these boots keep getting thinner and I was going to say they’re lighter and lighter every year it feels like same with golf shoes I bought a pair of golf shoes 10 years ago and when I hold those in one hand and the pair I got last year in the other it’s totally they are much much lighter and you wonder how they give you much stability at all now if you’re getting studded on your golf shoes though I want to I want to come watch that League that’ll be a lot of fun to watch battle golf some say it isn’t a contact sport I say they’re wrong all the way till you get thrown off the course that’s true to the other end comes Doug Hanner who spent it’s freshman year at Oakland was quite good there then transferred to transfer to Coastal Carolina had four assists left last year another attack to Peters [Music] out ychai spotted an opening really good ball to pick out Olsen and he’s got three in support up there including the overlapping run that came from shabot oh great tackle that’s uh Akil who nearly scored earlier Olson and Robert yine wi the ball back 20 minutes left in this opening half each team has had one shot on goal and that’s about it I mean you do like it when your Striker will work all the way back to being the third deepest player on your team however he would like to get him forward again not the Amer is going to be kind of starting the play but yeah he can’t cross to himself he love his ability to come back and willingness to come back for a ball certainly did it right there fancy footwork by the referee to get out of the way and you mention TR to mention earlier before some action happen but that was Leon Mar in that in that High Press going for a little bit as he did true we never did come back to that did we Sorry some things happened but that that kind of High Press he was trying to get the we’ll call them the young kids to come up with them a little bit what which we getting their shot up with the senior team and pressing and never they never really got together but they had some moments where they create some problems made Club De Leon have some issues with it you know where they had to deal with it um and and they’re able to work it out but but that kind of high press and high pressure was something we really hadn’t gotten to see that often from a more kind of low pressure Michigan stars as a Personnel changes though we might might be right back to see something like that when they bring some of the young guys back in if their opportunities open up one of those young guys Brett Russell is available Off the Bench this evening for the Stars he got some significant playing time when NS mura the club that George yunai has purchased and those five names we mentioned earlier are leaving to play in Europe they had their preseason camp at the Michigan star Center which is just a couple of miles from Romeo High School merage good cross Olen ah what a corner couldn’t quite tuck it away at the near post yeah great run in by olon get open and Mer served the ball pry well the difficult thing was where he had to bring that ball was away from pressure see that run in right here he’s going to take a little bit of outside the right foot trying to get to it can’t get his body turned around but part of that also CRI to co mcneel I mean he came out for that got big frame on him able to shut things down quickly pretty light on his feet closes really well and without that attitude and that aptitude by mcneel that that’s for sure a goal instead we’re dealing with a corner kick right here Steven yunai knocked down still there for a moment McLoud will scoop that back in the official was free kick here we’ll go to the Stars the official had been staring for a long time into the 18 after the ball was cleared wondered if he was trying to figure something out or he was given a verbal warning to somebody we couldn’t see from up here but there’s a long stare into the 18 after the ball was gone [Music] theall this may be this this may be a situation some point during this game someone is going to have to put their finger on that ball and hold it before so it doesn’t roll away it’ll be Steven yunai and yunai Spilled by McNeil Dives on it at the feet of Colin strippling who is the only man in a white shirt he was crashing the goal you obvious like M Nea bring that in but at least his body shape pushed that ball wide exactly where it should go if he if he spills it so he did spill it to the right location of course you like to keep it and collect it but if he spills that towards on running Stars player that’s a goal for sure oh that’s given away right to Elias McLoud attempted to thread the needle and play in marriage but unable to te him up sha bot for praise mukay oh I think he’s looking for Hunter Olen end up hitting mer trying to get the ball through will that bounce out of play no it won’t [Music] Kate with nearly everybody behind the ball for enter but given away the dukeway battling to try and win it back not able to do so there’s denda mccr has only had the one save to make in the first half so [Music] far given how little possession inter has had to this point he may not have to try and stop another one until the wind changes in the second half might make things a little more straightforward for inter gai smacks it low it’s Dugout well by inter they’ve got the free kick [Music] [Applause] swar I just heard the whistle that’s what I heard as well well after the ball was kicked AA keeps that in maybe just he’s trying to blow the air out all the water out of it maybe just cleared it out Full of Grace today the [Music] officials well yeah we get to be covered they don’t that’s right it’s maybe even the kind of day where you don’t mind being on the bench because you get to be under a tenta looking for schev who’s up there shev cleared out the in Detroit right back who is still down to the 18 and just now back to his feet picked up by Andres shaad and well that didn’t go according to plan and shmev were trying to combine and it didn’t happen I think that was Andrew SM that was taken down right there here’s the free kick from a couple of minutes ago dangerous ball on frame dealt with well again by McNeil when he spilled to the outside at least so he didn’t get dealt with by un running Stars player you know this is the type of weather that you really have to go back to some of those things you learned when you’re younger any shot on the opposing team first step’s got to be towards the goal and then decide if you’re G to keep running while you’re stepping no hesitation try to clean up a ball that might be spilled or skipped and same thing on shots on your own goal First St got Toby towards your own goal then decide if you got to make that run Muk Quay for shaad there’s the cross yunai made decent contact but it was right at mcneel yeah he did nice redirect low enough to McNeil is able to hold on to but you can tell he’s already squatted down a little bit so a little bit higher would it beat him but of course at that point you’re just trying to put that ball in frame they’ve started to open up enter Detroit just a bit haven’t they as this first half has progressed strippling inching forward Robert yunchi good ball Steven yunai couldn’t take it on the first touch see right there clipped in there by Liam merage prais M dukeway good good job of just kind of shielding off giving himself space away from Eddie Hudson the third and just not enough on that [Music] finish Eddie Hudson the third I mentioned just just in Camp with the under 19 national team of the Philippines he is from Greater Detroit about to start his college career at duaine a good play Adam Mitchell long time assistance there Olson Wonder for a moment if that might have come up and hit a hand yeah there’s been a pipeline from Duane to the city of Toledo for quite a while so it wouldn’t be a shock if you and I are getting to see Eddie Hudson the third playing for Toledo Villa at some point at some point so often just like any any any business it’s not always what you know it’s who you know and so many of those those players kind of follow follow the path that someone else has already followed and it’s able to bring people with them the different areas and same thing for recruiting I’m sure Decay now they have Eddie Hudson coming there’s probably be looking a little more around Farmington Hills for other guys in that area and same thing you might be pushing the same thing guys to come up with them the almost done frame from yunchi see that run here this is a replay again of it because yunai hits it the ball out wide into space and they did all the things right right shelbot took the one touch to go fast same thing by yanai just a one touch to redirect really the only Hold Up play with smart that was by Praise mukay slowing it down a little bit letting the runners get into the position really nice sequence [Music] [Music] thought that may have fit PR Muk in the hand referee thought otherwise Robert yunai smacks that centrally but picked up by in Detroit it’s just so difficult to counter like that when you’re going against the wind y you’ve really got to build along the deck and that’s not easy to do against this Michigan Stars team now they have not been as airtight this year as they’ve been the last couple of seasons of course back in 22 they had one of the best defenses in Nissa ended up winning the N championship last year lost in the final they’ve scored more this year but haven’t prevented goals quite as well and that’s a good ball in for Meritt show just wide that’s a terrific cross though and that’s what you get from Yakov schev the ability to run that line look to get forward you can already tell I mean it’s just a different way they’re playing those outside backs we’ll see this try here again Ball’s bouncing cuts it back buys him a second he’s got the vision the wait for that late run from Leon Merit those Hunter Olsson kind of cut in a little bit to open merit up to the backside Shad drops off for a drop ball if if that’s there nice sequence again again at some point the nice sequences need to need to get a goal up on the board but they’re close I think at least they’re ringing the doorbell now they don’t want hanging out on that porch free kick mway wiped out [Music] Andre bis is trying to plead his case there for a moment official Olsen goes over schev was there just ran away from Marriage Robert Yuni of all people is up there too right through the middle and it smacked behind for a corner talking about the versatility I mean you had Andre shelbot slid all the way to the back line Robert yunai made that run up [Music] outside backs and full press which that’s that’s always difficult too to to attack against the team that’s pressing their outside backs up you talk about inant wind which is really difficult as it is Steven yun’s Corner over [Music] everyone he you think about think about this wind maybe that’s one he he wants back for olympico in the game utilize that wind if he get another shot at it quick you can already hit a ball bend it in where he wants to but that wind just adds a little bit more cut to that ball Here Comes ail native of Rochester Hills plays at Detroit Mercy theuk just graduated from Western Michigan the last couple of months went to ground in fact the Michigan Stars mat day fell on his commencement day and he was obligingly given the afternoon off boy McLoud wasn’t getting a whole lot of support from his teammates was he it was very static and in Detroit have won the ball back here what could be a threatening area needed a better ball though out wide for [Music] haer well Time by Leon marage if he can keep this in clearly on side flag stays down had to wait for some support here’s yunai good turn there’s the shot it’s blocked almost fell right back to him was Nick Yono the captain who got in the way plays at but yshai again shev three to a at in the Box no chance to get it in quickly they’ll have to rebuild Kate shaut here’s Robert yunai there’s the cross oh missed mukay well there was an interesting spin on that wasn’t there it was kind of hit with the outside of his boot yeah all these balls just kind of just out of the reach of some of of these Stars play see a rebuild right there on that that shot came in hot hard really really quick Ste ychai able to really get his hips around the ball quick I mean he wasn’t even facing the direction of the goal able to pull a shot you see it right there across his body’s trying to catch catch the Defenders and McNeil kind of unaware not sure if it would have had the pace at the end but had numbers up that ball been spilled some but on right away looped over the top and that’s all cullin [Music] mcneel Yono smacks forward on to stripping’s chest oh what a touch took off the outside of his quad just kind of pulled it right across his body praise mway [Music] into another kind of walking pace sequence but a great deal of [Music] urgency inside that’s better elas McLoud brother jedadiah having a good season down at Savannah clovers he was up in Detroit last year with goldar Elias was playing with Chicago house after winning the league with the Stars in 2022 that came off of shaad last 3 minutes left in the half [Music] right’s he’s coming shellb winds up and hits that off of Gomez Ruiz I guess he fired a strike throwing well and he p in a storm usually that’s a metaphor not a literal storm Shad wants that back enough strippling caught that he could have played it back in had had good amount of space inai forced back strippling [Music] now here comes Paul scotus and scotus up from the back it’s one against five at the moment really two against five with Andre bis up there also but unsurprisingly the five beats the two there’s Kate shoulder to shoulder and as you can imagine Kate did not move away from where he impacted he gained a little bit of space collected that ball Olson trying to accelerate away from smutek gets the throw [Applause] in the cloud nothing on for for him yeah early even you know merage is asking her ball underneath the issue was really no one was up high to get on anything if merage flicks it on Hunter Olson started to make trying to make it run in behind a bit but merage comes back to the ball someone’s got to get in behind him and go towards the goal Steven yunai unable to turn that into anything col mcneel wants everybody up of course he can’t go too far because the wind is going to hold back anything that he tries to plant forward and watch this technique on this too I’ve been watching this he doesn’t really go all the way through the ball kind of holds back a little bit that might be as much to make sure he doesn’t slip and fall down trying to make sure the the ball doesn’t get caught up in the wind hitting a knockdown shot yeah yeah which we’ll see what happens in the second half if he’s with the win if he he changes that at all or or he’s just got a tight hamstring can another long run he makes plenty of them comes to nothing though I was going to say being a Harvard man he probably has a plan I would imagine so yes only one minute of time added on [Music] [Applause] that was still taken 15 yards behind where the referee wanted it to be [Applause] taken it’s Doug gner ran himself into a dead end CH and now it’s uh inter’s turn to not show much sense of urgency at the end of the half yeah I’m not even going to bother playing out the rest of the minute of time added on so really that’s a first 45 that was bossed by Michigan Stars they had nearly all of The Possession really to be frank were able to create a couple of opportunities out of it each yunai had a shot on target but it’s all to play for second half you’re looking for an upset what you need one chance one opportunity it’s it sty the other teams you think about it the best chance of the game so far you think is probably enter Detroits when MCA kind of ate up that space it’s done but stars have had a lot of chances so they’ve got to make the most of one the second half yeah there was some good attacking play from Michigan Stars at times in the first half that was the best chance of the night so far Leon marage heading wide from knock up shev’s cross goess at the [Music] break are you

back to Romeo High School in the rain on Michigan soccer Network and YouTube and Nissa plus Mason Lowry Chris black halftime of this Nissa independent Cup match for 2024 goalis at the break between Michigan stars and ENT Detroit in this little Motor City Derby we had a few of them last year the star we called him at the time between Michigan stars and gold star Detroit this year this is as good as it gets if you love soccer in the state of Michigan hi Mason and Chris great to have you here and that was an interesting first half dominated by Michigan Stars possession wise they created a couple more chances than in Detroit did but we’ll see if it flips with Michigan stars going into the wind in the second half yeah so it changes a little bit um but the strategy is going to remain the same right get another one more goal in the other team which no one could do that in the first half so it’ll be interesting to see now this stars in the first half though the ball was always a little bit too far sted on the surface always a little too far always a little too far so the second half hey maybe the wind takes care of that adjustment form him brings it back toward him but you know everything’s still a play for right let’s get this 45 now someone take care of it because we do have extra time there is a next game for only one of these two teams so they’ve got to settle it tonight they might have to build on the deck a bit more in the second half kind of like that we saw a shot on frame from Steven yunai that move Started With Praise muku a good ball in from Andre shaut this was the best opportunity of the half from the Stars Yakov schev great cross and great patience to wait for Leon marriage to get into position couldn’t put it on target though there another one from Steven yunai on frame on the free kick spilled by Colin mcneel but able to dive on it right in front of Colin strippling that was a center back dream right ball spilled he’s onto it he might have had the poke him but wasn’t able to take care of it and we saw a lot like that very kind of hesitating possession just kind of inching forward hoping to pull inter Detroit out of position but to inter’s credit it was easier said than done yeah and as the game went on one of the big differen we saw though was schof started to make more and more runs he started to really put his foot on the game he started to get down the field uh getting good dangerous crosses in as well and that’s something that then I think it halted enter Detroit getting forward so that’s something as this game goes on is how how dangerous can he be in the attack and what can he do to really push in Dr Dr in the shell and then how you know then then how is the Michigan scars going to deal with it they’ve been so good in the past with set pieces or balls played into to some of their big guys so maybe they’ll come inside the six maybe it’s a red redirect from Kate redirect from Merit something really right in front of the goal it might only take one to advance in the independent cup stay with us second half coming your way in just a little while right here on Nissa plus Michigan soccer Network and YouTube now

provide feedback well the teams and the officials back out on the pitch here at Romeo High School nil nil between Michigan stars and Inter Detroit this is action in the Nissa independent cup for 2024 powered by Zara Mason Lowry Chris black great to have you along what do you think has to change for both teams going forward and try to not just say somebody has to score a goal I mean technically no one has to it can go to penalty kicks which goal yet but definitely would not hurt but you you imagine right now the Stars want to cert kind of cert the strength of the lineup because they they do have it obviously but in Droids been game they’ve been able to hang on I mean obviously they’ve got a little confidence from last year anyways knowing that they can be a pain they can push it but you’ve got to imagine the physicality of stars has got to start wearing down this inter Detroit team and that’s something they’re looking for as this goes on and you really the com combination play started getting really good for Michigan stars as that half went on pushing schm of up the field a lot of kind of interchanging from the outside flank players as as they’ve been so flexible um over the years being able to do and then enter Detroit I mean they just want that one moment right they don’t need a lot of chances they just want that one additional chance good quality one have a go at it try to change his game ear throwing for Michigan stars in the light uniforms enter Detroit in the dark Michigan Stars currently second in the Eastern Conference in Nissa iner Detroit in the middle of the pack in the mwl Great Lakes East having won that division each of the last two years Sako Kate will get up for this long throwi in from Hunter Olson have to try and judge the wind which is of course against the stars in the second half partial clearance and McLoud lost out to Doug haer there who’s one of the more active getting forward inter Detroit players in the first 45 Stars will have to be on high alert here defensively after kind of a cheap giveaway and here’s bilis with MCCA just kind of dangling off his line but Dives at bis’s feet he always had it covered oh yeah he the whole way he was good soon as I turned over over happened mccrew was out out after it I mean I can just imagine being a new center back cuz it probably had another Center back into this team having to get used to knowing MCCA might be anywhere right behind me I better be listening it was a good ball for merit and here’s Steven yunai with a step over against the captain Nick Yono back post cross was looking I think for his brother Robert and strip Ling lost it to bis there now partially headed back in the direction of tatenda mcua by shalot got away with it stars throwing on the bench for the Stars just in June Daniel Wright Milo Barton Kyle hilly Nick NOA Nathan Brown Pier San Ravens and Brett Russell The Outfield players and two of those players up right now which looks like maybe can tell that’s June on the far side having a slow Jog and Milo Barton but he might just been walking back from the locker room to be fair Sako Kate n too pleased with Andre bis there and that’s the first yellow card of the night and it’ll go to the enter Detroit number nine there was kind of the end of it right there see in the at least breaking up gate walking away luckily nothing else happened afterwards there’s none too excited about it though a little hold up on the restart and away we go well waited by McLoud but Robert yunai had just straight into an offside position I don’t think there are many players in Nissa that can say their first professional goal came at an MLs stadium for Kate was against Minnesota United 2 in the US Open cup I was actually just talking to just over just over July 4th got holiday Houston Houston Dynamo 2 were playing up at Minnesota against their Minnesota United too and I did tell them hey you know that the the N Nisa team that I call games for Michigan Stars they beat them the last time they were there you better take care of business when you’re up there it’s like oh no oh no like yep they took care his great game some great bragging rights for him the the rest of his life to have that story no matter what else happens in his career what a great start to his his score line Yakov schev oh trying to change the point of attack that is not what you want to do defensively against a goal scorer who is is potentially lethal is Leon marage and little partial chance for yunchi ball did go a little bit long but that being said aasan yaha I think he just lost his footing a little bit stumbled slip cuz he he looked like he was set up in a good amount of space and Detroit finally trying to switch the field dramatically at Midfield just a littleit too much for him again trying to pull inter out of position cross dealt with by Eddie Hudson the thir pra mukay for schev it’s got McNeil backpedaling to his line now you might as well yeah you know what next time McNeil is going to stand his line a little more right a little more little more space to play in front now it’s the long game then is what you’re saying he’s playing chess four he’s actually playing four dimension chess which I’ve never even heard of that heard four dimensional Checkers but four dimensional chest there by schof chance for inter to come forward that’s blasted high and wide by Hanner he likes M’s idea easier to do when you’re going with the win yeah a bit bit easier hit that ball flat and keep it moving difficult that being said you know to be fair you often think mccrew would get chipped a lot more than he does because he is so active with his feet he’s off off his line but he’s just so quick he’s really good at his positioning anyways he might be off his line but he’s got a really good angle on that ball Here Comes Kate schev Wide of him smacks it straight ahead to pris duway instead and he’s turned niik Yono Inside Out ah then commits the foul on the captain himself I think muk’s got a point he’s probably arguing how’s it worse than what did the me I kept playing 53rd minute goalless in the independent Cup Course Michigan Stars the last two years they’ve gone to extra time two years ago against Metra Louisville that was over at the uh Michigan Star Sports Center which has a lovely field but no light so we finished the game in darkness and last year three to2 against the same ENT Detroit bis’s cross canate kept it from going out lost his footing as didas McLoud it’s contagious and it’s not getting any drier out there either yeah the wind usually helps dry things out but not when it’s still raining scooped ahead for an onside Hunter Olsen schev was making an overlapping run but ball hits the stomach of Andrew smutek the cloud wins it back at some point the Stars will have to take advantage of all the possession they’ve had everybody Robert yunai just kept that in there’s mukay Steven yunai now Robert Stars throw in and really Steven ychai is just playing that ball up there G A little bit of space he wanted the ball back but Robert dropped it knocked out by in Detroit play a little bit of field position seems like in the attack right now oh and here comes mukay charging into the box can he Square this for Hunter Olson it’s put behind stars have a corner see prais got in really only one Runner he could have played it to and I I think he was going the goal right there Hunter Olson would have been a much more diagonal ball back not a bad ideal go for go near post figure worst case you get a corner of it there see I know official there on this side he wants more of the ball in that in that Circle than the official on the near side corner does Yuna that’s a really good delivery and that’ll be a booking for prais mukay Dangerous play he left uh Gomez Ruiz down on the turf one player desperate to keep that ball in the Box one player desperate to get that ball out of the box that’s just going to happen from time to time so those guys make up afterwards no issues there long and direct something we weren’t really able to see from inter in the first half ah strippling just kept that in bis gave that to Zayn Akil ail has made his way into the box can he cut it back and get a shot away he can bilis pokes that over the top [Music] better though from inter don’t you think it isn’t you made that comment anyways on about that direct ball that opens up a lot of opportunity a lot of [Music] options it’s the first real sign of attacking life that we’ve seen from inter since the shot on target that aille had in the first half you do expect inter Detroit to play deliberate of course and be careful with their their Ventures forward I mean so far they’ve been a pest a little bit at least as far as the back line of Michigan Stars taking a couple balls up and not being able to hold on it once they do get that turnover Ryan bovie is chasing after Sako Kate ouch Steven yun’s down challenged by bovie I think Steven wanted a yellow card well not assessed to him dangerously could have gotten one assessed him but yes saying studs up and he kicked out yeah and of course half the people home are saying he got the ball which only matters so much yes it it it may just be part of an equation and sometimes it doesn’t even matter great time to remind people about the promo during halftime about needing more referees yes be disagree with that call awesome and that’s just not just not just in the state of Michigan either it’s essentially everywhere mukay oh that’s good ah Olson couldn’t take a touch seems like pra beduk is playing a little bit further forward so far in the second half and I think it’s paying off yeah he sure is I mean earlier in the first half he’s often venturing just in front of that back line almost like a six often times and kind of doing some of that dirty work there was definitely getting forward but now he’s starting up higher up on the field Merit good cross mukay left his feet could only head it backwards schev sends it back in here’s Olen couple in the box right footed cross and a good one mukay well there was no second touch from a Michigan star getting closer though as inter comes down to the other end haer made up a lot of ground the conceded possession [Music] McLoud just hit a bit too high for Hunter Olsen who’s uh not the tallest only about 5’9 they try to use the whole width of the field and the whole height of Hunter Olsson just still a bit up up above it’s a good look though that if that Ball’s down it’s a dangerous ball to play Olson yunai well played schev and helped on to Olsen corner [Music] by my count Steven yunai in his Michigan Stars career has 13 assists I would estimate that probably seven or eight have come on either free kicks or Corners could we see one more before he heads back to Europe and that’s well really stretching the boundary of what’s actually on the Corner Spot and what isn’t flicked away with Andress shelbot the deepest out field player yeah not quite the size I know he’s got Grant they still have some good size in the field not quite the size they had over the last couple years when correct there’s power forward basketball coaches that are jealous of the size they had in almost nipped in there kante got pulled well out of position there well it had worked out initially and the free kick goes to the stars who have taken it very very quickly with uh Zayn ail rolling around I I don’t think the referee realized it was the inter Detroit player that kicked it away he thought he thought uh the cloud went F went early again was actually the Detroit guy guy just kind of came up and popped it out of the way spins to Steven Yi younger brother to the outside you tell Detroit knows what they’re trying to do they did not want the ychai to have that sideline to whip a ball then they weren’t letting Robert or Steven have it so three changes coming for inter Detroit just two changes coming for Detroit Cesar zamudio and Kyle Jennings will come in and also number 15 whom I did not have on my card yeah I didn’t I didn’t have him on the official roster either yeah I’m frankly not sure who that is there’s not a uh that that being said the the starters didn’t quite match up anyways based on people coming in off but we’ll give it the old College try figure it out rain is picked up again as Eddie hunts in the third clears that out for a Thro in Daniel Wright and Kyle Healey the two on for the Stars Robert yunai and prais mukay they have gone to the bench so Wright gives some pace and trickery out wide and Kyle Healey will Shore up the middle of the park here’s Healey winning a [Music] corner so it’s Edwin Rodriguez normally wears number five I believe wearing 15 or at least he was wearing 15 on his shorts so he’s on for Zaya Keel zamudio for billison Jennings for [Music] Yaya headed laterally by inter back in Kate at a touchdown schev yeah that’s a foul so we’ll see how the changes Chris freshen things up yeah try to figure out how much of it was changeing tactic or changeing energy or change for change sake see what else may come it may have a been to carry instructions in Rodriguez whizzes by tenda MCA and Rodriguez is wearing number five on his shirt and 15 I believe on his short Ah that’s what it is now it all makes sense hey don’t complain about the Kitman because kit man’s life’s going to be miserable tonight after getting all those wet clothes back yeah but luckily it’s wet on artificial turf that is true that is true oh yeah not now you can just dry them right they’re getting washed right now it’s all good there’s Olsen up there on the right good defending by scotus that’s a foul against stripping [Music] here’s Kyle Jennings his first involvement trying to play in Ryan bovie gold kick really nice Shield by strippling just Shield him all the way out strong enough to hold [Music] off oh that led Kyle Healey just a little too much and that allowed Jennings to nip in there Jennings off to play at Adrien College having scored five and assisted on 11 at Schoolcraft last [Music] fall Sha but good turn from Steven yunchi here’s Healey now wri schev kept the overlapping run going Wright came Central schev still up there McLoud good find yunai against Yono nice idea still the stars in possession 69th minute and we will have extra time and penalties if it is still tied at the end of the 90 [Music] kind of a soft free kick to give to Wi they won’t mind there kind of like a a consistent number of soft fouls right in a row persistent kind of infringement I guess yeah it is yeah we had them up we added those up and we got one good ball for McLoud into the wind Daniel right though has to sweep it back to schev right footed cross boy merage got a big nudge oh but somehow the free kick goes against him but much better after just letting that ride out anyways stay out of it see how the ball comes in yeah and from my angle that’s not there for my angle it’s could worse it’ be a handball red card in a PK they came out the ball knocked Away by inter Detroit might some from a different angle we just couldn’t quite see how they came [Music] together give it up right to shelbot Here Comes [Music] Kate Olson always battling away shmev right went ahead of him Central for Elias McLoud here he is again but again that’s such a tough ball to execute into the wi there’s not much space to run into as well so you’ve got to be exact in the first touch by the receivers got to be difficult he’s got to get it down toward goal cuz he’s running out space hangs up there for Daniel Wright oh that might drop to Olson and Hunter Olson shoots that right at mcneel yeah not not sure what what what they wanted there cuz they’re trying to call their asking for offside but well it was quite quite obviously played off of an inter Detroit Player you’ll see the replay again here brings it down plays it in look like he’s trying to Red deflect to the four and it’s not going to be called knock it down Nick Yono I think is what he’s trying to do it’s so tough to shoot on the turn like that and actually pick out yeah a spot of the goal all you can do is just hit and Hope Well Done by Kate back to McLoud there’s Olsen there’s the cross Dan right oh was headed wide covered up by mcneel anyway yeah dangerous ball sent in good run in then redirected not quite like you said it’s going to go wide but that’s a great run you see at least making that look like skipped just kind of under his foot and just didn’t redirect it white right you know heads up plate call McNeil seeing no one’s around it might well try to knock it down put the ball in his hands for possession instead of down for a goal kick yunai tripped right with a good touch yeah going be’s off yep you can tell by the the positioning by the A on that far side and he’s going to be called offside if he received it she was side step the challenge there Doug Hanner here’s Kyle Jennings chance to get a cross in he’s got a couple there in the Box it’s in and enter Detroit have taken the lead go [Applause] Detroit sesar zamudio I think who is crashing in front of goal to tenda MCA still down ENT Detroit celebrating they haven’t created much of note in this game but they tuck one away Michigan Stars nil enter Detroit one it’s it’s just a really dangerous run they going to have medical staff come out and attend to MCA it was a really dangerous run well timed he went between the two center backs to make his run in found his space mate was trying to stay out in front of it try to deal with the ball was PL in behind him I think those in strippling was on the other side oh it cleats up red card just destroyed the corner flag Cesar zamudio who was originally in the starting 11 for this match a late change was made they brought him off the bench 2023 Cast Tech graduate that’s a high school that is far better known for producing football players than soccer players zudio did both with soccer and kicked and punted on the football team this MCA the former Zimbabwe International still receiving attention the center official did come over and talk to his AR in this near side probably just making sure there’s nothing in it see this replay again as this comes across it’s kind of awkward slow dangerous ball and yeah I mean he does get I think he get elbowed in the the head it looks like or not El but KNE in the head but it’s just one of those things he closing player has a right to the space and and to go to the ball and go to goal as he did well it’s Brave attacking play and brave goalkeeping there it is yeah it is and mccrew is trying then he did get I think he got his hands on at first it just kind of ricocheted off of him and then got redirected in the goal but that was going to take some time with this well the stars do have three other goalkeepers they signed four in pre-season and one of them Lucas morfield almost immediately broke his leg in training before the first game now he did come back and play in the Stars last couple of League matches we also have Michael Harry and Brandon resy it does look like I think it is Lucas morfield that’s over there tell for sure that’s up warming up in the sideline right now morfield is the other rostered keep for this match y you can see as at number one now it’s definitely him over there MCA says he’s going to stay in he’s checked out by the trainer and they gave a thumbs up so as of now he’s in probably reevaluate as it goes make sure he’s can be effective especially now as chasing this game a little bit going to be up and off his line he is so tough he doesn’t never want to come out of a game it’s a game that Michigan stars are now chasing and we wondered when they got through the first half with the wind all that possession presumably 75 80% of the session in the first half but did not make that breakthrough you thought well might be a bit more straightforward for enter Detroit in the second half they haven’t created much more but they’ve created enough and you would said it they really only need one smacked forward and merage couldn’t have a touch oh well out box and I thought he’s still holding the ball very dropped it but usually fish is going to let him do it once anyways and they just give a warning to be fair Stars free kick now and a yellow card to Kyle Jennings second half substitute for inter [Applause] bie Just Hits it long first time that mcru has been tested since he took the knock on Cesar zamudio’s goal [Applause] and Dan Wright now he will go into the book and then he is bundled over man I’m kind of wondered card the other way as well maybe but that’s just the one those things now inter Detroit they just got to be happy with their lead right now settle down smart I think it a SM smart play pick that up too I think kind of dragged his foot a little bit encourage that contact took it went Town won the foul he’s got to be happy with what he’s got it’d be in Dreamland if they could get a second ENT Detroit of course if you’ve been following niss all season Michigan stars have kind of been late goal Specialists either to eek out points or to take goal three course a lot of those came from Neil luch who’s no longer with the club he’s going back home to France in fact this would probably be if he wasn’t already in the lineup Neils luch time go on and get us a late equalizer Neils come on you got this Leon merage popped that back through the middle here’s [Music] shev good win by Hanner and he will race at Colin strippling strippling went to ground couldn’t win the ball back here’s Gomez Ruiz zamudio again lost out here comes Olen yunai Straight Ahead inches got great Pace Yono beat him to it slides it out for a throw eight and a half minutes left plus stoppage time for the stars to equalize and force extra time perhaps in the independent cup Wilson came Central for that found a way to stripping passed up the shot here’s right on the far side couldn’t do anything with it scotus took it away that was a bit of a shove wasn’t it yeah sent Dan right flying he want if the official thought it was a little too easy yep yeah or just a an extra extra jump after but it seemed like the foul was still there yshai can he cut in and shoot or maybe come down the line for the cross get a throw in out of it that’s going to be hunterson time making that run across of course the wind is going across the field a good amount it’s kind of going away from us but to the right jump wasn’t quite timed right from Kate Olson might get another crack at it olsson’s ball in is that hand ball oh referee referee referee says no and mccr now way off his line Jennings to the other end not able to get a shot away oh goodness me Jennings o well me and to be fair mean we we’ve got a great angle we’re up here High Looking Down official might have been blinded no he wasn’t blinded well no that that came off the forehead of that arm from the looks of it of Eddie Hudson the third yeah actually if it goes off as forehead and then the arm uh that that wouldn’t be a head hand ball so I might have missed that well it’s still not arm in a natural position that’s a good point that is a good point that’s a good point they’ve been trying to explain the handling non no calls away in the cop America and as well as Euro and lot the times they’ve been talking about it was played by the original uh okay surface area they’ve negated away some of the awkward positions for the uh second touch McNeil out and then the power dive we’ll see a better look at it and gosh that’s yeah really headed into an outstretched arm yeah so he he had to have seen that and decided no it hit his forehead first it’s it is what it is feel like he he he they must be head miked up I think he felt like he was checking his ear I saw what you saw said some of the fish Al been talking about how quickly it redirect WS to an arm no matter what position it’s in they’ve been given a lot more leeway when that happened so that could also been what it was just happened so quick off his head couldn’t moved his arm out of the way which is reasonable enough and right couldn’t keep it in after the initial touch [Music] I have a feeling anything downfield from in Detroit you’re going to start going to the corner flag and you may as well start now eating precious seconds yeah when Gomez Rios you could tell I thought he was actually not trying to get the ball to goal I thought he was trying to cross the ball to the other Corner along the lines of what you were saying through to MCA 86 minutes played Cesar zamudio’s goal the difference in the 75th minute there’s Kyle Healey for Olson Olson ran himself down a dead end and uh Merit not able to make a play on it at all yet another look at the possible handball Bo that hand is so outstretched it’s almost parallel with his shoulder yeah number of stars could have been in that play too if that ball keeps going and McNeil not going to go too quickly why would you and that’s just hit straight out of play [Music] McNeil gathers Dives I think inter might make one more change Evan Thorton had gotten stripped and went right back to wait Under the Tent Stars free kick Stars will make another change as well is that uh Nicholas NOA I think that is i’ seen Nathan Brown War up behind the goal as well but I think that is Nicole as you said that’s right kept the Run going couldn’t get a return ball Here Comes inter again McLoud he’ll be booked [Applause] can hear some unfield complaints I think some of the Stars players with the inter Detroit kick the ball away after the ball was returned to him so Nick NOA came on for Yakov schev and that’s Thorton on and bie off so so far Nia playing up high it’s going to allow mer to come back for a ball a little bit but not effect lacking that high player smartly headed back to Kyle Healey confidently back to MCCA so he could collect it with his hands here’s Leon Merit Michigan Stars running out of time and you can’t afford giveaways like that when you are a go down Kate racing back to make sure that zamudio didn’t have a another clear run in on goal long run for Colin strippling nice job by enter Detroit too guys settling back in closing that space down making it difficult to penetrate right here just a complete Block in the defensive third as you’d expect very tricky to break down a ball in for Olsen only can touch it backwards and McLoud couldn’t keep it down four minutes of time added ones of seems light but is what it is at this point you you think about how do you break that defensive Block it’s just how you do get it get a ball in wide and deep headed back across across the gold mouth get a chance on frame but the chance went High McNeil smacks It Forward headed back to mcua can they fashion that one chance that Michigan Stars need to force extra time shell bad’s ball Kate up there never really came back did he just try and get crosses in and see if your 66 Center back can get on the end to one that’s kind of a risky Header by Yono right in front of his goalkeeper mccr up this is the uh Michigan Stars equivalent of pulling the goalie in hockey kante the target tried to head it on nothing given oh and mccr his way off and here comes zamudio again good recovery run by Colin strippling former Chattanooga FC man McLoud looking for Olsen has found him Olsen decent ball back it’s Wright sha bod next to him Wright has a sha doesn’t really go anywhere Merit for McLoud Olson again cross takes a big deflection canate want it in the air Wright brought it down can he shoot on the turn or do something anything he really couldn’t McLoud yo with a crucial block play a little more than two minutes of the four Nia tried to head it on didn’t make contact Head tennis adjacent to the Box waved off nicolea shot is wide goal kick might be that maybe a minute remaining of the four yeah just over a minute by my watch players down for both [Music] the stars have to concede enough players back to win a ball very quickly cuz any possession by in Detroit pretty much kills this the got to win this on the pretty much the first ball back the other way or again pulled to the right by col mcneel got to go quick first ball is backwards to MCA who will just carry it Forward yeah try to clip one beneath the wind gets to the edge of the Box on by NOA Again by MCA canot and coming back from an offside position Healey can he turn and get a cross in against Yono out for a throw in very little time remaining Olson’s got a hurry and I mean really hurry to get this into the box there’s the long throw goes behind there will be a corner will there be much time to take it MCA will come up well there’ll be 10 men in the Box for Michigan Stars nine men in the Box for Michigan Stars Daniel Wright is back it’s yunhai’s Corner oh the header over from Nick NOA and that’s that enter Detroit one year after falling in the independent cup and extra time to Michigan stars get a goal 15 minutes from the End by Cesar zamudio and they will advance to face pass FC out of Grand Rapids on the road of the next round that’s some win for the amateurs oh that’s fantastic win from them they got to be really excited about this you know they didn’t have a lot of chances but you know this was the first really big one probably the best of the game up to that point for either team they get that one and then you know they get that that counter break late and they they take care of business on on one opportunity Stars had more chances but again it’s it’s what you take care of business on you know quality chances are great but not don’t do a whole lot for you if they don’t score and they didn’t this was the one that Leon marriage is really going to want back on able to put this free header on target just wide yeah it’s almost like you can’t check back for the that ball maybe was playing at that there might be a a deflection or something but here as well great opportunity hit but it hit a little bit wide I think a little bit footing kind of issue with with both teams at different moments but Daniel Wright put that one a little bit wide but here here’s the one right there you know what you find a pocket you stay in it you explode into it uh and finish the finish the ball like they did right there and really nice finish nice run and that’s the only goal they needed today and that was the handball that maybe should have been it came off of Eddie Hudson thei wasn’t called referee had a great view of it and maybe with the aid of his linesmen on the far side decided not to blow the whistle and point to the spot so hats off to win Detroit that’s awesome for them to advance in this tournament it’s clubs like them that make the independent cup what it is and what it can be from the Stars point of view that’s a tough way for Steven yunai Colin strippling Andress shelbot Hunter Olson and Elias McLoud to go out best of luck to them in Slovenia I’m so delighted for those to get their European opportunity obviously Steven has been there before for the other four is going to be a whole new experience and really now the rebuild the reshuffling of Michigan stars in Nissa Starts Now it certainly does and to those guys hey they had plenty of of dancing that they got to do with the Michigan Stars while they’re here it is always tough that last moment but you’re right you know this is the time for a little bit of a rebuild it’s awesome you only get even more and more players coming in giving your OPP giving their opportunity at a club like this cuz they know there’s a place to go next um and uh and the club is open to promoting their players overseas so that’s a great great thing I think all around for everybody but yeah growing pains might happen a little bit next few weeks but it’ be exciting to be a part of and watch so an upset in the 2024 Nissa
