Playing without reserve players, Learning for Leadership's "Iron 11" got a balanced scoring attack as the Mustangs shut out the Groves Academy Griffins 3-0 in the Play-In Game in the 2017 Section 5A Boys Soccer Tournament Monday night at Benilde-St. Margaret's School in St. Louis Park.
The Mustangs lone first hal goal came on a line drive shot from Kafi Abdi to give them a 1-0 halftime lead.
In the second half, Learning for Leadership had to play short handed a couple of times due to injuries and yellow card violations but they still managed to put Groves Academy away with a pair of goals. Farah Ahmed picked up a loose ball and placed it into the net to put the Mustangs ahead by two and Neymar Mohamed found an opening while Griffin goalkeeper Robert Hall was playing far out of net to end the scoring with :49.1 left.
The Mustangs improve their record to 3-5 and advance to the first round against the Brooklyn Center Centaurs on Tuesday, October 10 at 7 PM in Brooklyn Center. The Griffins conclude their season with a record of 5-8-1.
