The Breaker 88 boys won their first two matches on Saturday (11-0 vs. Mission Tigres of San Francisco and 8-0 vs. Ajax Pride of Modesto). Sunday morning brought very stiff competition against the powerful Mustang side from Danville, coached by ex-San Jose Earthquake and USA National team defender John Doyle). By virtue of both teams winning the first two matches on Saturday the Breakers needed no less than a draw to win in the bracket. After a tightly contested first 35 minutes the Mustang went ahead on a scrappy goal from a knock down in the box on a set play. The Breakers drew even in the 55th minute on a goal created by Jose Gonzalez when he stripped a Mustang defender deep their half and crossed the ball in to Bernabe Camacho. The Mustang keeper made a tremendous save on Camacho’s short range shot but left a rebound for Alberto Mata, who drove the ball into the Mustang goal for the critical equalizer. The draw sent the Breakers through into the State Cup round of 16 to be played in Morgan Hill on April 15, 2007.
